The work, up close.
Stephanie Hu is the State Representative for Washington's 50th District. Bellevue. Redmond. Kirkland. Second term.
Four things, on repeat.
Every conversation in the 50th comes back to these. Every conversation in Olympia ought to.
Housing that holds onto people.
The kids who grew up on the East Side shouldn't have to leave it to start a family. Two years deep in the fight.
AI that answers to people.
If a model decides you didn't get the job, a person should have to sign off on that. Not "review." Sign off.
The Climate Commitment Act stays.
The fights are the same every year. The CCA. The transit. The salmon. We show up anyway.
AAPI communities, visible & heard.
Counted right. Spoken to in our languages. Defended when our parents' shops get vandalized.
My parents worked two jobs apiece so I could have the public-school education and the public-university degree that made everything else possible. That deal used to be normal here. It isn't anymore. I'm running so families like mine still have a shot in the place I'm proud to call home.Rep. Stephanie Hu Floor remarks · Olympia · January 2026
Recent work.
Statements, votes, and updates from the district and from Olympia.
Bellevue. Redmond. Kirkland.
The East Side isn't a tech corridor. It's a neighborhood that happens to have a couple of tech campuses in it.
A monthly note from Olympia.
What we voted on, what's coming up in the 50th, what's worth your attention. Short, plain English, no fundraising asks.
