A message from Marcus: Pre-session update

Hello from our state capitol!

It’s an honor to once again represent the 3rd Legislative District – the heart of Spokane – in our state legislature. The last couple of weeks have been busy with post-election organization events in Olympia.

Caucus leadership elections and committee planning for the 2019 legislative session have now taken place. When the session begins on January 14, I will once again be serving as Majority Whip in the House of Representatives. I’m proud to be represent Spokane at the leadership table in our state House, and to serve in a role that helps ensure our legislative process runs smoothly and efficiently.

There is a lot to discuss as we move into the legislative session, and I look forward to keeping you apprised of what I am working on. A robust democracy can only exist with an active and engaged citizenry, so I am asking you to continue to do your part. Please continue to share your thoughts and concerns so we can together move Spokane and our state forward.
