Hello,
It’s nice to meet you! I’m Greg Nance, your new Washington State Representative for the 23rd Legislative District. I was appointed by the Kitsap County Board of Commissioners in September after former Representative Drew Hansen was chosen to fill the vacant Senate seat earlier this year.
A Kitsap native and Bainbridge High School grad, I grew up in a strong union household. I’m proud to call the 23rd LD my home and am excited to represent our community in Olympia. As a non-profit leader, I’ve devoted my career to expanding education access and mental health care, especially for students and educators. I’ve been a conservationist since 1st grade when I was inspired by a Suquamish Elder during a shoreline cleanup and have a lifelong commitment to protecting Puget Sound.
As your State Rep, I will continue working to strengthen our schools, bolster our workforce, grow mental health resources, and preserve our environment.
First 50 Days
Since I was sworn into office on September 18th, I’ve been pounding the pavement (figuratively and literally – I’m a long-distance runner!) to hear from neighbors across the district and learn what matters most to our community. Folks have told me that affordable housing, transportation, and education are all top priorities. I’m going to keep connecting with you in the weeks leading up to session so I can truly be a voice for Kitsap in Olympia – and get things done!
Coffee Chats
Chatting over a cup of coffee is one of my favorite ways to connect with folks, which is why I’ve been hosting coffee chats across the 23rd LD. I’d love to meet you at one of these upcoming events. You can find a list of upcoming chats below, but if you don’t see anything scheduled in your area, please reach out and let me know so we can make it happen!

Education, Workforce, Transportation – and hearing from you!
The House Committee assignments are finalized, and I’m excited to report that I have been assigned to the House Education Committee, the House Postsecondary Education & Workforce Committee, and the House Transportation Committee.
Education, workforce, and transportation are top priorities for me, and three issues I hear about frequently from neighbors across the district. I am eager to serve on these committees and work with my colleagues in Olympia to create positive change for Washington’s future.
I am honored to represent Kitsap in Olympia. Please reach out to me with your questions, concerns or suggestions – or just to say hello! You can always find me at greg.nance@leg.wa.gov.
