The Washington State House of Representatives has passed a resolution honoring Representative Bruce Q. Chandler for his 26 years of dedicated service to the 15th Legislative District and the State of Washington, from 1999 to 2025. Throughout his tenure, Chandler has utilized his background as a businessman and orchardist to contribute valuable insights into agriculture, business management, and responsible budgeting. His ability to foster bipartisan relationships and engage in public policy discussions without seeking personal recognition has significantly benefited the citizens of Washington.
Chandler's commitment to open government, small business advocacy, and early childhood education has earned him numerous accolades, including the Key Award from the Washington Coalition for Open Government and the Legislator of the Decade title. His thoughtful legislative approach and steadfast service have left a lasting impact on both the Yakima Valley and the broader state. The resolution concludes by recognizing his contributions and balancing his legislative duties with family commitments, and it directs that copies of the resolution be sent to him.
