Healthy Families Bills Clear Cut-Off Milestone

Rep. Riccelli joins March of Dimes supporters from across the state, holding a banner of handprints from constituents.

Greetings from YOUR state capitol in Olympia. Today is “Cut-Off Day,” the deadline for most bills to pass out of their first committee.

I’ve been working on a series of bills to keep our families healthy and ensure every kid has the same opportunity to start out strong.

I’m pleased that each of these bills have passed out of committee before the cut-off deadline.


Rep. Riccelli addresses advocates gathered in Olympia to promote fresh, healthy food in schools and improve our local food system.


Healthy Children and Families

People from across the state march across the capitol to promote a strong foundation for Washington’s children.

Healthy families are the cornerstone of thriving communities. But right now, we’re headed in the wrong direction. High health care costs and our broken food system have led us to a point where my son and daughter’s generation is expected to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents.

That’s a tough pill to swallow. It doesn’t have to be that way, and that’s why I’ve sponsored these bills.

The battle doesn’t end here. It has been a privilege working with advocates from Spokane and across the state in our continued efforts to secure a brighter future for Washington’s children. It is an honor to serve the 3rd District.

Best Regards,

 
 

Representative Marcus Riccelli
3rd Legislative District – Spokane
