#waleg Rep. @MichelleCaldier isn’t leaving the House. She doesn’t need to resign to run in 2025 special #waelex. Her *seatmate’s* retirement allowed a seat to flip, giving Dems 60% supermajority—enough to pass bonds, but not amend state constitution.
A WA Republican's 🐘 exit from the House just gave Democrats 🫏 a quasi-super majority, giving them full-rein to amend the constitution 📜 and pass debt without any R votes. 💸
Democrats haven't signaled what they want to do with this big stick. #waleg

Who is ready for another year of bullshit?! A thread of miserable predictions to snap you out of the elation of the number 2020 changing to the number 2021 follows...

This week we presented U.S. Rep. @HerreraBeutler the Guardian of Small Business Award. “These Members of the U.S. House have proven themselves to be real champions for small business,” said @NFIB's Kevin Kuhlman. #smallbizguardian https://t.co/PDLYY5yALi
@MLEA_Prez That’s unfortunate, but it’s hard to blame voters’ for a lack of enthusiasm at spending more money to support shuttered schools. #waelex#waedu
