We are #1, again. U.S. News & World Report has named our state the best place in the country.

It takes all 7.6 million of us to make Washington the special and dynamic place it truly is. @usnews

At the start of this legislative session, Speaker @lauriejinkins2 & @WAHouseDems said they'd prioritize racial justice.

Today's legislative deadline will show if they meant it.

They must pass #HB1156 (local options for RCV), #HB1202 (ending qualified immunity), & #HB1297 (WFTC)

[Governor Bob Ferguson @GovBobFerguson]

Increasingly, there have been escalating acts of violence targeting Asians and Asian-Americans in our state and across the country. This absolutely unacceptable.

Why is Representative @ElectKHT leading the effort for #RankedChoiceVoting Local Options in Washington?

It's about inviting more voices to the table!

[Pramila Jayapal @PramilaJayapal]

The Senate parliamentarian issues an advisory opinion. The VP can overrule them—as has been done before.

We should do EVERYTHING we can to keep our promise, deliver a $15 minimum wage, and give 27 million workers a raise.

[Jermaine Johnson 🇺🇸 @Dr_JLJohnson]

I will NEVER put party over people. It's the two party system that has every day Americans suffering in my district! #NEW80

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

Half of employees who make under $15 an hour get food stamps, Medicaid and welfare. This costs taxpayers $107 billion a year.

So instead of paying a few cents more for a hamburger, you're paying billions more to subsidize corporations paying literal poverty wages.

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

@PramilaJayapal when people talk about how Democrats never get anything done, this is the exact thing they're talking about.

If this were Republicans, they'd fire the senate parmesan like they did in 2001 to pass tax cuts for the rich.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Democrats won't lose sight of the fact that people are working 40hrs/week but still live in poverty, and many are being paid subminimum wages. After 10+ years since the last federal minimum wage increase, the tides are turning & there is overwhelming support for Congress to act.

[FairVote Washington @FairVoteWA]

The legislature moves fast! There's always so much happening.

That’s why we're launching a “Legislative Briefing” series where you can get updates on our #RankedChoiceVoting Local Options Bill as it advances through the legislature!

Also they can go to the doctor any time they want and not go bankrupt

[Rep. Adam Smith @RepAdamSmith]

As child care costs skyrocket, it's more critical than ever that we help working parents. I'm glad that the COVID relief bill expands the child tax credit, but it's crucial that single parents get just as much help as married parents.

There shouldn't be a #SingleParentPenalty.
