Dear Friends and Neighbors,
This week, many of you will receive our 36th District 2026 Legislative Report in your mailbox. Sen. Frame, Rep. Reed, and I shared highlights of the past legislative session, including challenges from the federal government, passage of the Millionaires Tax, and funding for key local projects like safety improvements on Aurora Avenue and restoring public access to the Pacific Science Center courtyard. Read it online here.
Town Hall Success!
Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our virtual town hall on Monday night. There were a lot of questions, from data centers and a state bank to funding for public schools and universities. I appreciated the chance to share my thoughts and more on the work we did in Olympia on your behalf.
If you missed the virtual town hall, you can watch it online on my Facebook page or the Washington House Democratic Caucus YouTube channel.
Restrictions on Communications During An Election Year
State Ethics law put certain restrictions on legislator communications to prevent the use of state resources for election purposes every election year. These restrictions include a freeze on my legislative Facebook page and my legislative webpage beginning Monday, May 4, 2026, until after the general election in November.
But I can still respond to you! Please reach out to my Legislative Assistant Christoph Mair or email me if there’s anything I can do for you. You can also use my legislative website as a resource or find out more about the work I’ve done during the last two years: housedemocrats.wa.gov/berry

This will be my last legislative email newsletter before the restrictions begin, so I hope you have a great summer. See you around the neighborhood!
Take care and keep in touch,

State Representative Liz Berry
36th Legislative District
