About Sen. Hansen

Drew Hansen (D-Bainbridge Island) was appointed to represent the 23^rd Legislative District in the Washington State Senate in 2023. Hansen, who has served in the state House of Representatives since 2011, has focused on opening up opportunities for people in Kitsap County to get trained for good jobs that support their families. His work to build partnerships with Olympic College, Western Washington University, and apprenticeship programs has transformed lives across the district.

In the House, Hansen chaired the House Civil Rights & Judiciary Committee since 2020 and before that, he chaired the House Higher Education Committee from 2014 to 2020. Hansen has led efforts on historic legislation in recent years, including this year’s Shield Law (HB 1469) to protect those who pursue or provide legal reproductive care in the state.
