“We don’t really know how the events in the Senate will eventually unfold, but regardless of who is in charge of what, our goals remain the same: move forward on fully-funding education, creating jobs, increasing access to higher education, and protecting the health and safety of Washington’s residents. We have always worked collaboratively with members from both chambers and from both sides of the aisle.
“Today’s events certainly have the potential to make reaching consensus even more difficult in an already-difficult year. But we can’t allow this Washington to devolve into the bitter drama and endless gridlock we too often see in the other Washington. Let’s keep working together for bipartisan solutions that reflect the values of the state we all love.”
