State Senator:

Adrian Cortes

Democrat Adrian Cortes joined the Battle Ground Planning Commission and later was elected to Battle Ground City Council, serving as mayor in 2020 and 2021. He has also worked as a special education teacher in the Camas School District for almost a decade.

Cortes believes the right path forward for the district is through supporting students, working families, and the community. One of his top priorities if elected is affordable housing. He's aiming to advocate for a variety of policies that will help people stay in their homes and build homes faster, including developing multifamily housing, enacting rent stabilization, making changes to permitting, and funding homelessness prevention. As a teacher, Cortes believes in providing equitable services for students with disabilities, protecting free and reduced lunch, securing more education funding, and supporting the library system.

Cortes would bring to the Legislature a passion to work with local leaders across the political spectrum to solve the state's biggest challenges.
