Chili Hicks is a straight-talking Navy combat veteran, father of three daughters, and proud grandfather of six who believes Washington families deserve honest leadership and real accountability. Known for telling it like it is, Chili brings a genuine, approachable, and no-nonsense style focused on common sense over politics. He’s running to fight waste, fraud, and abuse, stand up for veterans and working families, and push back when government becomes too disconnected from the people it serves. Chili believes the mission is bigger than politics — it’s about protecting the future for our kids and grandkids, restoring opportunity, strengthening Washington’s economy, and making government accountable to the people again. He listens, asks questions, and focuses on real solutions because he understands the everyday challenges families are facing and believes leadership starts with honesty, trust, and putting people first.
Robert “Chili” Hicks doesn’t just talk about family values—he lives them. As a husband, father of three daughters, and proud grandfather of six, Chili knows that family is the foundation of everything that matters. He also knows Washington families are feeling squeezed—by rising costs, unsafe communities, and a government that seems more focused on politics than people.
Councilman Hicks proudly serves the people of Stanwood, Washington. A retired U.S. Navy Master Chief with over 20 years of service, Chili brings the kind of steady, proven leadership that only comes from real-world experience. He and his wife Cheryl have called Washington home for nearly three decades—raising three daughters and now enjoying time with their six grandchildren.
