Hi legislators! I’m excited that backyard cottages are part of the discussion about expanding less expensive housing choices for people in every neighborhood in our state. How do you plan to educate your constituents about these & lower local barriers to build them? #AskWaLeg
In Washington there are only 50 affordable and available homes for every 100 households who are considered very low income (earn less than 50% AMI). Can we count on real progress to solve the housing gap for the lowest income people this session? #AskWaLeg
Looking forward to participating in another #askWALeg town hall at 6:30 tonight! Ask my House and Senate Democratic colleagues questions on your mind about the legislative session!
Hi folks, I’ll be participating in tonight’s Twitter Town Hall as soon as the Transportation Committee wraps up its work tonight—I hope you can join us! #askwaleg

Like many of our friends, student loan debt is a huge financial burden for my spouse and I. I love the Student Loan Bill of Rights (thanks @MarkoLiias!) and I'm curious what's on deck in 2020 to help out Washingtonians struggling with the high price of higher ed? #askwaleg
Women on Apple Health are kicked off soon after giving birth, and women of color have higher post-birth mortality rates. Who will make sure they have access to healthcare? #askwaleg@runsinthehalls@EmilyRandallWA
We just make #childcare more accessible, affordable for low-income and working families. We must support the workforce, increase supply with capital grants and invest in birth to 3 programs. Good for kids brain development, parents employment and biz and the economy! #askwaleg
Young ppl are pumped about pre-registering to vote at 16 +17 in WA 🤩What are you doing this session to keep on making our democracy more accessible for young voters? #AskWaLeg@WashingtonBus

Excited to have just voted to increase property tax exemptions for disabled veterans & senior citizens--an issue I have heard so much about across the 41st! This will be critical to help the elderly stay in their homes! #waleg#AARP#Bellevue#mercerisland#issaquah#newcastle
Abigail and I are having a great time at the Oak Harbor Boys & Girls Club fundraiser tonight. The Club is doing great work serving youth in our community!
Congratulations to Rep. Melanie Morgan, whose first bill to pass both chambers was approved by the Senate this morning. HB 1688 addresses in-state tuition for veterans. #waleg
