Kent raised her. Law school trained her. Now Jasnoor is running for State Representative so the people who keep South King County going get a government that does the same.
Jasnoor grew up in the 47th. She graduated valedictorian from Kentridge High School, started college at Green River, finished at UW, and went on to Seattle University School of Law.
In between, she worked as a paraeducator in the Kent School District, sitting with kids in special education and English-language learners who needed someone in their corner. Today she works at a family law firm, walking people through some of the hardest weeks of their lives. On the side she volunteers with Washington Autism Alliance, tracking the bills in Olympia that decide what services a family with a disabled kid can actually get.
She is running because the teachers, home health aides, small business owners, and parents who keep this district running are tired of waiting for a government that only shows up after the damage is done. There is a better way to do this job. Spend public money where it changes lives. Stop problems while they are still small. Measure success by whether a family is steadier this year than last.

These problems do not stand on their own. Rent pressure shows up in school attendance. Untreated mental illness shows up on a street corner. The way out is to spend public money before the harm, not after. That is the work.
Rents in South King County are climbing faster than paychecks. The families who staff our hospitals, run our shops, and teach our kids are losing the neighborhoods they built. Jasnoor will grow the Housing Trust Fund, fund right-to-counsel for tenants facing eviction, and back community land trusts that keep people rooted.
In the Kent district, two schools five miles apart can offer two different futures. Jasnoor saw it as a paraeducator: kids in special education and English-language learners getting less than their share. She will push for equitable funding inside districts, more counselors and mental-health staff in classrooms, and a 50% + 1 threshold for school bonds.
In 2025, Kent saw 69 shootings, 115 aggravated assaults, and 8 homicides. Tougher sentencing after the fact does not bring anyone back. Stable housing, mental-health and substance-use treatment that people can reach, and youth programs that meet kids where they are. That is what a safer street looks like.
Nobody should pick between filling a prescription and paying the light bill. Jasnoor will back policies that lower out-of-pocket costs, hold insurance and hospital pricing to account, and put real money into the community and mental-health care that catches problems before they become emergencies.
Jasnoor's Sikh community has lived through genocide. She knows what happens when institutions look the other way. In Olympia she will defend civil rights and reproductive freedom, protect immigrant neighbors, expand language access in state services, and keep due process real for the people who need it most.
Most days this campaign happens at a kitchen table, a coffee counter, or a parking lot after a school event. It starts with a neighbor saying what is on their mind. Everything else follows from there.
Knock on doors for a couple hours. Host a coffee for a few friends. Put a sign in your yard. Chip in what you can. Pick the one that fits your week.
