Joel William McEntire^[1] (born 1987)^[2] is an American politician of the Republican Party. In 2020, he was elected to the Washington House of Representatives to represent the 19th legislative district and took office on January 11, 2021.^[3]

In 2023 a Twitter account in his name replied to other users and used the terms "straight up loser", "dim wit dem", and "utterly pathetic" among others. In response, McEntire stated that control of the account was "handed off to a kid from Vancouver to use" after an earlier statement that claimed the posts were "photoshopped".^[4]

On the final day of the 2024 legislative session, McEntire, who is a U.S. Marine Corps reservist, was on duty during mandatory service and unable to attend. In his place, he was succeeded by Lilian Hale, his stepdaughter. Hale, attending the session on her 18th birthday, became the youngest, legally eligible legislator in Washington House of Representatives history.^[5]
