Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Happy New Year and welcome to the 2025 Legislative Session! In odd-numbered years, Washington’s Constitution requires a “long session” that will last 105 days. But before we get to work, I want to invite you to participate in a few celebratory events next week. 🥳
On Monday, January 13 at noon, I’ll be sworn in to serve my third term in the House of Representatives. Wow! It’s truly an honor to serve you. Please join me in the House Gallery to watch or tune into TVW to stream it live.
On the evening of Wednesday, January 15, the 2025 Washington State Governor’s Inaugural Ball will be held at the State Capitol. It will be a festive night of fun, food and dancing to celebrate our new and returning statewide elected officials and members of the House and Senate. The entire Legislative Building will be open to all. Buy your ticket here – I hope to see you there!
How you can be involved
If I don’t see you next week, I hope to hear from you during session. Your participation is vital to the democratic process! We have made it easier than ever to be involved, whether you want to come to Olympia in person or stay home. We have options to watch and participate in committee hearings, contact your legislators, comment on a bill, or just learn more about what’s going on.
Keep in touch! Please reach out to me, or my Legislative Assistant Sam Tinsley, anytime.
Talk soon,
State Representative Liz Berry
36th Legislative District
