Jacquelin Maycumber for State Representative

About Me

My background

As a fourth-generation landowner in Northeast Washington, I have deep roots in the 7th District. My husband, Marty, and I live in Republic with our three children.

I was appointed to the 7th District seat in 2017 by county commissioners from five counties. I replaced former Rep. Shelly Short, who was appointed to the state Senate.

Our district includes Ferry, Pend Oreille and Stevens counties and parts of Okanogan and Spokane counties.

My top issues

I have a passion for rural economic development, common-sense solutions to education funding and state budgeting, and for utilizing our abundant natural resources.

My involvement

I earned a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry and spent time as a biomedical research scientist. I am a former law enforcement officer and elected school board member, and have volunteered with the Chamber of Commerce.

I have served the people of the 7th District for the past nine years. First as Representative Shelly Short's Legislative Aide and then as your appointed Representative when Shelly moved to the Senate.
