Jesse Young is an American politician, who was appointed to the Washington House of Representatives on January 17, 2014 to succeed Jan Angel following the latter's election to the Washington State Senate. He represents the 26th District as a member of the Republican Party.

Young, a business consultant from Gig Harbor, Washington, ((needs new link, this is broken.)) also previously ran for election to the United States House of Representatives in the 2010 and 2012 elections, but was not elected.

Bridge proposal

An item Young inserted into a transportation budget proposal in April 2015 attracted some national attention. Young proposed $90,000 be spent on studying whether it would be feasible to repurpose retired aircraft carriers to build a pontoon bridge between Bremerton and Port Orchard. The budget passed the state House.
