Re-Elect Jeff Holy for Washington State Senate
April 2026
Senator Jeff Holy (R – Four Lakes) announced his candidacy for re-election to the Washington State Senate, citing more work to do negotiating policy, and the needs of the 6th Legislative District.
“With a near super-majority in the legislature, Democrats have passed: a Carbon Tax, Capital Gains Tax, an Income, and increased B&O taxes. When they don’t need Republican votes to pass legislation, we need to put in the work to be heard,” Holy said.
“Right now, families and businesses are living paycheck to paycheck – all while our communities are worried about public safety and homelessness. Olympia is as tone-deaf as it could be.”
The 22-year Spokane police department veteran and attorney adds, “Being in a near super-minority, legislative Republicans need the strength to fight, and awareness to negotiate – because there is still a lot to do for this district and our state.”
“Despite the partisan imbalance, I’ve secured guarantees on funding completion of the US 395 North-South Corridor, which will be delivered on time. I’ve fought to fund projects in our West Plains community, especially for the rebuilding effort for the Gray Wildfire recovery. We can get things done – if we show up.”
Senator Holy currently serves as the ranking Republican on the Senate Law & Justice Committee. He also serves on the Senate Health & Long-Term Care Committee and Senate Transportation Committee.
Focus on the Issues
Jobs and the Economy
My prime focus continues to be making the Inland Northwest more business friendly and doing whatever is necessary to provide sound and sustainable family wage paying employment opportunities in our region.
I have co-sponsored and supported legislation that makes it easier for businesses to thrive in our region and do what they do best – provide good jobs.
Public Safety
As a retired Spokane Police Officer, I well understand the importance of public safety. A core function of government is protection of its citizens. I have sponsored and supported legislation that helps improve the safety of our citizens.
Public safety has always been a silent partner in improving our economy. People want to live and operate a business in an environment that is safe and crime free.
Budget
During my time in the State Senate and House of Representatives, I have supported budgets that were sustainable. The focus has been to create budgets that provide for the core functions of government – maintaining infrastructure, public safety, education and protecting the most vulnerable.
We need structural reform that will result in budgets crafted within existing resources and not dependent upon increasing the tax burden on our citizens. From 2015-Present, the state’s Operating Budget has more than doubled to over $80 billion. The state must live within its means – just like every family and business in Washington.
