The resolution honors the life and legacy of Speaker Frank Chopp, a dedicated advocate for social justice and community service in Washington State. Chopp's commitment to social equity began in high school and continued throughout his life, marked by significant contributions such as co-founding the Seattle Tenants Union and leading initiatives to secure over $2 billion for housing in Seattle. His career in public service included serving as a member of the House of Representatives for the 43rd Legislative District from 1995 until his passing in 2025, during which he held various leadership roles, including the longest-serving Speaker of the House in state history.

Chopp's guiding principle of "One Washington" reflected his belief in unity and shared values across the state. He was known for uplifting others rather than seeking personal recognition, inspiring a new generation of leaders in various fields. His legacy extends beyond his legislative achievements to the many individuals he motivated to pursue public service and advocacy. The resolution concludes by recognizing the profound impact Chopp had on the state and the community, as well as honoring his family, including his wife Nancy Long and children Ellie and Narayan.
