I’m running because we deserve a full‑time representative rooted in this community. State‑level decisions have overridden local control, and the current officeholder’s dual roles divide focus. My family has lived, worked, and gone to school here for 40+ years, and I’m stepping forward to ensure your voice is heard!

Attended both private and public education locally here in Washington State including CRISTA/King's schools, Kamiak High school, and the University of Washington Seattle (Drama/Communications, and Bothell (MBA, also selected as Commencement Speaker)

I’ve built my career across Microsoft, Amazon, Redfin, CRISTA Ministries, US Bank, and Bank of America—each one sharpening the tools and skills that drive my success today.

I am committed to protecting the environment for both current and future generations. That means advancing policies that restore natural landscapes, safeguard biodiversity, and ensure clean air and clean water for every community. My work at Zeolite Composites reflects this commitment in a tangible way, demonstrating how innovative, science‑based solutions can strengthen environmental stewardship.

My Wife, My Hero~ Without her, I am just a man. With her I am so much more. As a nurse she has been serving on the frontlines since 2014! My two boys inspire me to be young, live in the moment, and remind me I'm not perfect!

First and foremost to God be the glory! Jesus calls us to love our neighbor and that's exactly what we need to do in our district!

Our community is blessed to have a wonderful community of seniors who love their city and it's our job to respect and listen to them. (The late Phyllis Gutierrez Kenney who endorsed Jason Moon in 2024)

For over three decades, I’ve dedicated my life to supporting young people. They carry the future of our community and our nation. The more we pour into them with guidance, integrity, and opportunity, the more hopeful and vibrant our shared future becomes.

Growing up as the child of immigrants working 72–84 hours a week, my family lived in a one‑bedroom apartment, and I slept on the floor until I was 13. I was often bullied and felt alone as a chubby Korean kid trying to find my place. Those years were tough, but they gave me perspective and shaped how I see the world today.

True leadership is measured not by titles held, but by trust earned. It’s about doing the hard, often unseen work to make systems more just, more inclusive, and more responsive. I believe elected officials must lead with empathy, accountability, and a relentless focus on impact—not applause.
