Jacquelin Michelle Maycumber[1][2] (née Anderson, born 1979)[3] is an American politician of the Republican Party. She is a member of the Washington House of Representatives, representing the 7th Legislative District.

Career[edit]

Maycumber served as the legislative assistant to Representative Shelly Short.[4]

In February 2017, Maycumber was appointed to serve the remaining term of Representative Shelly Short after Short was appointed to the Senate.[5] Maycumber won her retention election in November 2017.[6]

On March 7, 2022, Maycumber voted for HB 2057, which "Establishes Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Standards for State Patrol."[7]

In 2024, Maycumber endorsed Nikki Haley for President.[8]

On May 18, 2024 Maycumber was endorsed by the Washington State Labor Council for Congress in Washington's 5th congressional district. A self-described progressive organization, the WSLC typically only endorses Democrats for elected positions.[9][10]

On March 26 2024, Maycumber donated $5,500 to the Washington State Republican Party. Two days later, the party donated $5,000 to her Congressional campaign. The filing transfer was not initially reported as required by state law, but was filed as an amendment to Maycumber’s March filings and only became public in May. This was in attempt to circumvent state campaign finance laws as regulated by the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission. Jim Walsh, the chair of the Washington State Republican party, suggested that "the party was willing to act as a pass-through in circumvention of the rule." The transfer may still violate federal campaign finance laws, and if found guilty, Maycumber could be sentenced to up to 5 years in prison.[11][12]
