Rep. Luis Moscoso (D-Mountlake Terrace) released the following statement in response to the Senate Majority’s DREAM Act announcement:
“I enthusiastically welcome the announcement from the Senate Majority Coalition Caucus that they will join their Democratic colleagues in advancing one of the most important pieces of legislation we will consider this session: The Washington DREAM Act.
The House of Representatives passed the DREAM Act on the first day of the legislative session with strong bipartisan support. Regardless of which side of the aisle you stand on, we can all agree that every hard-working student who calls Washington home should have the opportunity to better themselves and their community.
I commend the Senate for responding to our call for action and agreeing to pass the DREAM Act. With Governor Inslee prepared to sign the legislation, we are now closer than ever to giving every Washington student a fair shot at the American Dream.”
