Wildfires don’t just destroy property and blacken the landscape. Flags are at half-staff today throughout Washington state to honor the memory and service of Christian Johnson, assistant chief of the Okanogan Volunteer Fire Department. Johnson, an Army veteran who later served with the Washington state National Guard in Iraq, died October 2, a month after suffering severe burns while fighting the Spring Coulee Fire. Our hearts go out to Assistant Chief Johnson’s family, friends, and fellow firefighters for their sacrifice, and for his. .

On #NationalComingOutDay 🌈 we're honoring the bravery it takes to come out as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or as an ally. 31 years ago, the LGBTQ 🦄 community led the National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights. And in 2019, "coming out" remains a significant act of monumental courage. House Democrats in Washington state have long led the way on inclusive public policies. With an unfriendly federal administration and hate crimes on the rise, we will continue fighting for our LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈 neighbors like we always have:
🌈Washington Law Against Discrimination
🏳️‍🌈Ban on conversion therapy
🚫Replaced "malicious harassment" legal language with what it is: a "hate crime"
🌈Right to mark non-binary as gender identity on birth, death and marriage documents
🏳️‍🌈Preventing trans bullying in public schools
❤️Marriage Equality Act (BEFORE the Supreme Court)
🌈Established the LGBTQ Commission for Washington State
🏳️‍🌈Expanded access to reproductive health care, regardless of sexuality or gender identity

Pain isn’t always obvious, especially when it comes to behavioral health.

Suicide is a silent but roaring epidemic nationwide – particularly for young people, with suicide being the second leading cause of death among youth ages 10 – 24.
House Democrats are expanding access to behavioral health resources, because a healthy mind is just as important as a healthy body. But we have more work to do address this crisis.
On #WorldSuicidePreventionDay you can help #StopSuicide by knowing the warning signs of someone at risk: •Talking about suicide, feelings of hopelessness or being a burden, or feeling trapped •Increased drug and alcohol use. •Changes in sleep and mood, including aggression, fatigue, anxiety and irritability. •Withdrawing from friends, family and interests. •Giving away possessions.
If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide, find help at the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline by calling 1-800-273-TALK or texting TALK to 742741.

Putting People First. It is not just something Democrats say, it is reflected in our budget and revenue package. For families with a loved one in need of mental health treatment or treatment for substance use disorder, our budget puts them first. Kids who just want a good education and a safe school to learn in, our budget puts them first. When it comes to environmental protections, fighting climate change, protecting orcas, and free college tuition and training Washington workers to be ready for the new jobs and innovation of a 21st-century economy, our budget puts all that first. For people struggling with housing insecurity or homelessness, this budget puts them first.

Democrats did so by taxing wealth in Washington state. Not wealth concentrated in the hands of individuals, but wealth at the very top of our economy. Big Banks. Big Oil Companies. Global technology companies. The corporations that benefited the most in recent years and received tax breaks from the federal government this past year. We are asking them to pay more so that every Washington resident can live and thrive in a state that values them and their families.

Putting People First. That is our goal. That is what we value. That is what Democrats stand for in Washington state.

Well-deserved ranking from U.S. News & World Report. According to the magazine, the ranking “draws on thousands of data points to measure how well states are performing for their citizens. In addition to health care and education, the metrics take into account a state’s economy, its roads, bridges, internet and other infrastructure, its public safety, the fiscal stability of state government, and the opportunity it affords its residents.”
