Oyster Farmer. Entrepreneur. Citizen Candidate.
Fighting to Restore the American Dream in WA-03
Meet Antony
Antony Barran isn’t a career politician.
He’s an entrepreneur, oyster farmer, and father who has spent over 35 years starting, growing, and leading businesses across the country.
From Fortune 250 boardrooms to oyster beds on Willapa Bay, Antony has created thousands of jobs and delivered hundreds of millions in economic impact. His focus has always been the same: results, accountability, and empowering people to succeed.
Today, Antony and his wife Cora run Willapa Wild, one of America’s most environmentally responsible oyster farms, alongside their son Richard. It’s hard, honest work — the kind of work that shows what government should do: support small businesses, not bury them in paperwork.
After decades of building from the ground up, Antony is stepping forward to serve as a citizen candidate — running for Congress to cut red tape, restore the American Dream, and return power to the people of Southwest Washington.
THE MISSION
The Middle Class Built America.
Small Business Built the Middle Class.
The only way to rebuild the American Dream is to invest in the people and businesses that built it in the first place.
In 1980, small businesses made up nearly half of all U.S. jobs. Today, it’s closer to 30%. As small businesses have declined, so has the middle class.
Our government has become a maze of red tape, regulations, and out-of-touch policies that hurt the people doing the work. It’s time for a new approach — one that puts small businesses, working families, and local communities first.
About Antony
Business Builder. Job Creator. Community Champion
Antony Barran isn’t a career politician — he’s a business owner who’s spent the last 35 years building companies, creating jobs, and solving real-world problems. From oyster farms and food halls to digital agencies and economic development work, Antony has helped grow businesses that fuel communities.
Now he’s running for Congress in Washington’s 3rd District — to bring common sense, private-sector experience, and a relentless focus on results to a government that has forgotten who it’s supposed to serve.
