On a Mission
Melanie Morgan was elected to represent the 29th Legislative District in 2018.

She has worked long and hard over her career to be chosen for the role of representing her district, and she plans to continue to bring that hard work for years to come.
“As we move forward, we’re moving forward with a different lens, we’re moving forward with an equitable lens, and we’re leaving yester-year behind.”
- 29th LD Representative Melanie Morgan
Before she was elected to the state legislature, Representative Melanie Morgan was a school board director for Franklin Pierce SD, a commissioner on the board of the Pierce County Housing Authority, a safe housing coordinator, member of Tacoma Affordable Housing Consortium, a board member for Community Healthcare, and a mortgage banker. She is a veteran and currently serves as the Vice-Chair of Housing, Community Development & Veterans, Capital Budget, Commerce & Gaming, and Rules committees, and is the Deputy Majority Floor Leader. She was also appointed by the Governor to serve on the Equity Task Force. She has led the way on equity issues and plans to continue these efforts as she runs for re-election. Representative Morgan knows the struggle of the people in her community because she has lived it. She has been homeless and a recipient of Section 8 housing and food stamps. She will continue to fight for those who have been marginalized by polices that were instituted to support those at the top. She is the voice of the 29th.
