Yakima Valley raised. Teacher by calling. Ready to fight for our community in Olympia.
General Election — November 3, 2026
Yakima Valley raised. Teacher by calling. Ready to fight for our community in Olympia.
The CCA has driven up the cost of everything — fuel, food, farming inputs. Washington was already the 5th cleanest state in America before this law passed. It's an unneeded regulation that punishes working families and Valley farmers without measurable benefit. Reedy will fight to repeal it.
Cutting the state sales tax by just 1/10% returns roughly $300 million per year to Washington consumers. Sales tax is a regressive tax — it hits middle and working families hardest. Reedy also opposes the new capital gains income tax, which Democrats have openly stated is a stepping stone to a broader income tax on working families. That's unconstitutional and it needs to go.
The H-2A guest worker program must be preserved and made practical for Valley farmers. Reedy supports expanding vocational training in farming, ranching, and agricultural fields to grow the workforce. He also supports giving farmers overtime flexibility — including raising the threshold to 48 hours or providing OT exemptions during peak harvest periods — so agriculture can operate the way the seasons demand.
The Housing First model isn't working. Placing people in government housing with zero requirements — no mental health treatment, no addiction treatment — does nothing to actually help them. Reedy supports amending the program to require treatment as a condition of housing assistance. Taxpayers deserve results, not a system that warehouses people without addressing root causes.
As a classroom teacher, Reedy knows our schools can do better. He supports statewide school choice to hold districts accountable for results — if a school isn't performing, families should have options. He also supports reforming the Local Effort Assistance levy model, which currently forces poorer districts to raise taxes far more than wealthier ones to meet the same threshold. That's inequitable and needs to change.
Safe communities are the foundation of everything else. Reedy supports fully funding law enforcement, opposing reckless criminal justice rollbacks, and giving local agencies the tools they need to protect Yakima Valley families.
Working For
The Yakima Valley.

— Reedy Berg · State Representative, District 15
Not a career politician.
Your neighbor.
Reedy Berg, 37, was raised in the Yakima Valley. He graduated from Eisenhower High School and earned a bachelor's degree from Gonzaga University, where he pitched for the baseball team.
After college, Reedy spent several years working in the Valley's agricultural industry, gaining firsthand knowledge of farming and the challenges facing local producers — experience that informs his commitment to representing the Yakima Valley.

In 2024, voters elected Reedy to the Yakima City Council. In 2026, his fellow council members selected him to serve as Deputy Mayor. He and his wife Nicole are raising their two children, Reedy Jr. (8) and Sadie (6), in the Valley where their family roots run deep.
A conservative Republican committed to smaller government, protecting the rural way of life, slowing tax growth, and greater accountability in Olympia.
Reedy Berg's commitment to public service is rooted in real experience, steady leadership, and a deep connection to the community he serves. Every role he has taken demands accountability, thoughtful decision-making, and practical results.
