Dear friends and neighbors,
This week we kicked off the 2025 Legislative Session! What does that mean? We have a part-time state legislature that works on a two-year cycle, alternating between long and short sessions. This year is the first year of a new biennium, which means it’s a long session year. We’ll be down in Olympia for 105 days passing legislation and putting together our state’s biennial budget. I’m looking forward to the work and am grateful for the opportunity to serve you all again this year. In case you missed it, I also had a chance to join some of my colleagues for an interview with the Seattle Channel last week, we talked about how we’re thinking about the investments in our state budget, evaluating and expanding climate protections, and more. Check it out here. |

There are a lot of different ways that you can be involved in the work down in Olympia. As always, you can reach out to my office by phone (360) 786-7952 or email. You can also watch committee hearings on TVW, comment on a bill, or testify either remotely or in-person. You can read about how a bill becomes a law, or you can watch a video about it instead (in English or Spanish). If you have questions, please reach out!
