Jessyn Lynn Farrell (née Staulcup,[1][2] born November 8, 1973) is an American activist and politician who served as a member of the Washington House of Representatives from 2013 to 2017.

"[6] After graduating with a degree in history from the University of Washington, where she was the leader of the saxophone section in the Husky Marching Band, Farrell served as an AmeriCorps volunteer with the Youth Tutoring Program at Yesler Terrace.

[11] She started out as Transportation Advocate at the Washington Public Interest Research Group in Seattle, where she directed their efforts to reduce the health and environmental impacts of automobile emissions.

[10] From 2005 to 2008, Farrell served as the executive director of Transportation Choices Coalition (TCC), the leading nonprofit advocate for public transit in Washington.

[6] Under her leadership, the group led a coalition of transit and environmental organizations that successfully lobbied to redefine the state view of transportation capacity in a way that allowed more public funding to shift toward light rail and away from highways.

[12][13] Farrell and TCC also supported the passage of the 2008 ballot measure for Sound Transit 2, which funded light rail expansion north to Lynnwood, south to Federal Way, and east across Lake Washington.

[14] After her time at TCC, Farrell joined the executive team at Pierce Transit, where she helped oversee the response to the Great Recession.

[16] Farrell served on the Transportation (Vice Chair), Rules, and Commerce and Gaming committees in the State House.

[24] Farrell was also a strong proponent of the 2015 Equal Pay Opportunity Act, which passed the House, but not the Republican-controlled Senate.
