Dear neighbors,
I’m happy to report that we finished our work on time—in 60 days—with a balanced state budget, a record-breaking construction budget, and a transportation budget that keeps Washington moving.
Soon, I’ll send updates about major funding, new laws, and details about capital budget and transportation projects here in the 1st District.
Today, I wanted to make sure people saw two bits of news aimed at students.
WAVE scholarship – deadline extended to March 19!
The Washington Award for Vocational Excellence (WAVE) scholarship is up to $7,700 over two years.
It’s for career and technical programs for high-demand fields here in Washington state, and I hope every student and worker interested takes the time to apply for this scholarship.
If you know of anyone interested, they can learn more and apply via this link: https://wtb.wa.gov/wave/
Legislative Youth Advisory Council
This is a nonpartisan youth advisory body to the legislature. It’s composed of 24 students aged 14-18 from across the state. These advisory members advise lawmakers and ensure that the interests and opinions of youth are heard and considered. The council actively works as a liaison with youth organizations in our communities and educates the public on civic engagement.
You can apply to join the advisory council here:
