Jeb Brewer

Party: Republican Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Submitted Biography:  "I have over 30 years working in operations and construction with a continual emphasis on cost accountability, improving efficiency, and holding people accountable. I’ve made a career of seeking out, listening, and working with people who have dissenting views to find the right solution to problems, this experience is what our nation needs. I understand that the sole job of a US Representative is to listen to their constituents and to support legislation that betters their lives and our country. Unfortunately career politicians forget this which is why we need representation with fresh ideas and why I support term limits and additional transparency of those who are elected. It is time to end politics as usual and stop electing the same people who make promises of change, but in reality have become the problem. I’m not complacent with broken, I expect results for your tax money, I expect better than what we currently have. If something is ineffective, fix it, replace it, get rid of it, don’t accept it. While I am the only candidate endorsed by the Washington State Republican Party, I am defined by my personal values. I will represent you, work to make your life better and build a brighter tomorrow."

Key Messages

My campaign is about the American Dream and how it is not as attainable as it once was. As a country of immigrates people came here looking for better jobs, the chance to start a business, and the opportunity to own a home. Often immigrants were escaping violence, crime and oppressive governments dictating how they live their lives. But the direction our government is now hindering the American Dream, government is adding undue complexity for those who own a business, crime has worsened due to lack of enforcement, the government is pushing us to live in dense urban apartments, and the government is dictating our freedoms and choices in what we buy, and how we live our lives.

---

My top issue to address is legislation that strengthening the economy and specifically business creation and growth. Through vibrant businesses we create wealth, jobs, and lower dependance on others. And if that business is manufacturing, even better as we need to bring back manufacturing to the US and increase our competitive edge by producing and purchasing goods here which builds a stable economy and wealth that can then be used to help us solve other problems we are plagued with.

---

We need term limits, the time is over for career politicians, we need representatives who understand the problems of their constituents, not politicians who leveraged their office to make millions of dollars for themselves.

Jeb Brewer (R)

My campaign is about the American Dream and how it is not as attainable as it once was. As a country of immigrates people came here looking for better jobs, the chance to start a business, and the opportunity to own a home. Often immigrants were escaping violence, crime and oppressive governments dictating how they live their lives. But the direction our government is now hindering the American Dream, government is adding undue complexity for those who own a business, crime has worsened due to lack of enforcement, the government is pushing us to live in dense urban apartments, and the government is dictating our freedoms and choices in what we buy, and how we live our lives.

My top issue to address is legislation that strengthening the economy and specifically business creation and growth. Through vibrant businesses we create wealth, jobs, and lower dependance on others. And if that business is manufacturing, even better as we need to bring back manufacturing to the US and increase our competitive edge by producing and purchasing goods here which builds a stable economy and wealth that can then be used to help us solve other problems we are plagued with.

• Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Washington in 2024. Information below was calculated on June 4, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Sixty-two candidates ran for Washington’s 10 U.S. House districts, including 26 Democrats, 25 Republicans, three Independents, and eight non-major party candidates. That’s an average of 6.2 candidates per district. That’s lower than the 6.8 candidates per district in 2022 and the 7.3 in 2020.

The 5th and 6th Congressional Districts were open in 2024, meaning no incumbents ran for re-election. That’s the most open districts in an election cycle this decade.

Incumbent Reps. Cathy McMorris Rogers (R-05) and Derek Kilmer (D-06) did not run for re-election because they retired from public office.

Eleven candidates—five Democrats and six Republicans—ran for the open 5th Congressional District, the most candidates who ran for a seat in Washington in 2024.

All 10 primaries were contested in 2024. Between 2022 and 2014, an average of 9.6 primaries were contested per year.

Eight incumbents—seven Democrats and one Republican—were in contested primaries in 2024. Between 2022 and 2014, an average of 8.8 incumbents were in contested primaries per year.

No districts were guaranteed to either party because Democratic and Republican candidates filed to run in all 10 districts. Washington utilizes a top-two primary system. In a top-two primary system, all candidates are listed on the same ballot. The top two vote-getters, regardless of their partisan affiliations, advance to the general election.
