The Senate unanimously passed a resolution I cosponsored that designates May 12-17, 2025 as National Police Week. I join my colleagues in honoring the integrity, dignity, and bravery of the federal, state, local, and tribal police officers throughout our country who keep us safe every day.
The House is trying to sneak in a massive cut to Medicaid that will shut down hospitals, kick people off of health insurance, make them go to emergency rooms, and cost us all more money. Republicans and Democrats in the State of Washington have already said – don’t do this.
In the legislature, she was a champion for education equity, leading the fight for a groundbreaking law to provide undocumented individuals educated in Washington State access to state tuition rates at our public colleges. (3/4)
Even before being elected to the State House, Phyllis' mark was being felt across Central Washington as she worked to bring childcare and educational services to migrant children. (2/4)
It's also good to see U.S. manufacturers winning in the lucrative widebody airplane market. It’s also a reminder why it’s time to sell to meet big demand instead of pursuing trade disruptions. (2/2)
Medicaid pays for essential long-term care for over 100,000 seniors and people with disabilities in the State of Washington. Cuts to Medicaid could force nursing homes to consider closing.
I joined my colleagues in urging Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Assistant Attorney General Maureen Henneberg to reverse the abrupt cancellation of hundreds of public safety grants that serve crime victims and improve public safety in communities across the country.
Washington’s U.S. senators are demanding the Trump administration reverse the cancellation of more than $50 million in grants for local public safety efforts. washingtonstatestandard.com/2025/05/06/w...
As I’ve heard around the state, these shortsighted Medicaid cuts would be devastating, and will only hurt vulnerable patients, force hospitals to slash services or close altogether, and cost taxpayers more in the long run. (3/3)
Proud to join former Redmond Mayor John Marchione, current Redmond Mayor Angela Birney, Sound Transit CEO Dow Constantine, U.S. Rep. Susan DelBene, and King County Councilmember Claudia Balducci at yesterday’s opening of the Downtown Redmond Link Extension!
Today I helped cut the ribbon for the new Downtown Redmond Link Extension. Redmond Station becomes the tech terminus of our light rail system, connecting people where they live, work, and play so Puget Sound can continue to be a world-class innovation center.
Congressional Republicans are trying to cut funding for safety net programs like Meals on Wheels, Head Start, and others to fund tax cuts for billionaires. I joined my Democratic Senate colleagues in sending this warning letter to the American people.
During #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, we recognize the importance of mental health care. Over half of the counties in WA don’t have enough mental health providers. We must keep working to expand access to mental health services.
I join the millions of Americans around the country in celebrating the selection of a new pope. Pope Francis had a message to the world: all of us must help lift the most vulnerable up. Pope Leo XIV -- the first American pope -- has my prayers for strength as he leads the Catholic Church.
Washington’s Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders make our state and our country stronger and more diverse. I'm cosponsoring a Senate resolution recognizing #AANHPIHeritageMonth and the AANHPI community’s contributions to our state’s culture and way of life.
