Andy Zahn

Andy Zahn is a candidate for Washington’s 20th Legislative District Representative, running in the 2026 primary as a Democrat. He grew up in Toutle, Washington, and has worked as a farm hand, public lands steward, writer, and photographer. He states his motivation for running is to fight for rural Southwest Washington, not to become a career politician, aiming for real, long-term solutions. His campaign pillars include supporting farmers and creating union jobs through industrial hemp production, establishing large, accessible parks like the proposed Hopgood Rock Park near Morton, and bolstering rural community centers while protecting natural areas from suburban sprawl. His core focus is revitalizing rural Washington and preserving its character.
