Gabe Galbraith

Elected Experience
Elected to the Kennewick School Board in 2021 and re-elected in 2025.  Serving as your Board President since 2023.

Other Professional Experience
Currently a Security Specialist at Hanford and small business owner.  Previous experience includes 15+ years in HR, Operations Management, VA disability claims, former substitute teacher, and proud U.S. Marine Veteran.

Education
Two master's degrees, Elementary Education and Business Administration, a bachelor's degree in accounting, and a Kamiakin High School graduate.

Community Service
Served as a local youth sports coach, participated in food and clothing drives, animal adoption events, Toys for Tots, PTO/PTAs, and an active member of my church.

Statement
I’ve dedicated my life to service as a U.S. Marine, small business owner, and Kennewick School Board Director. My wife and I raised our children here, guided by Faith, Family, and Service — the same principles that guide my work protecting children, supporting parents, and strengthening our community. Our families, businesses, and community come first.

Nationally recognized and awarded School Board Director of the Year, I’ll bring that same proven leadership and commitment to results as your next Senator. You deserve a Senator who has lived, worked, and served here over 35 years — not a politician who moved here in February to advance a political career.

Your vote presents a clear choice: proven local conservative leadership focused on serving the people of the 8th District and rejecting the failed status quo of Olympia, or a political opportunist focused on serving the state establishment. My record demonstrates I will unapologetically protect constitutional freedoms, support law enforcement, defend parental rights, strengthen schools, fight for affordable housing, address water and power concerns, and oppose higher taxes on working families.

I’m honored to be endorsed by the Benton County Republican Party and many respected local leaders. Thank you for your support. God bless.
