Yesterday we launched the campaign to get rid of flavored tobacco products in Washington State!
It was great to hear from bill sponsor @RepReevesWA, Tacoma NAACP's Jonathan Johnson, youth advocates and community members supporting this life-saving policy.

I’m evidence of that promise & its future. Accountability in how we recount history of the founding of our country is the most patriotic thing I can offer as an American. So, when we “celebrate” 250 years, we recognize our WHOLE history, not just the “yt-washed” parts.
If @RepReevesWA cannot see the promise of the US, she shouldn't be representing Americans. Even abolitionist & former slave Frederick Douglas referred to the Constitution as a "glorious liberty document." @washdems = nihilism. @LtGovDennyHeck

Great visit from community health advocates to promote youth access to mental health supports! Big thx to these leaders for joining me to fight for our kids & their future! @uwpediatrics
@Hotel231 Thanks for the feedback! Always appreciate perspectives and experiences shared. Helps me make better informed & more representative decisions.
It has been a full first day of the 2024 #waleg session! From citizen legislator to #workingmom to grad student, we are doing the work to make things work better for you! I represent you best when I know what matters most to you & your family! Please 📝, ☎️, 📧, 🐥 or 💬 anytime!
@Hotel231 Thanks for the feedback and recognize we have a difference of opinion but recognize your right to have that opinion. Still hoping we can agree that part of my job is to defend our democracy, even if we disagree on how best to do that. Have a great day!
@SteveFarnum Thanks for the feedback Steve, can you share more on why you want to repeal that law specifically? I wasn’t in the #waleg when it passed, so would welcome your insights.
@EngineerBarbie Thanks for sharing Nikki! I have definitely heard from a lot of our neighbors and #workingfamilies on how pinched their pocketbooks feel!
Humbled to join #CityofAlgona in honoring Mayor David Hill for his leadership by naming this wetland in his name. Thx to @SenClaireWilson for partnership in securing $600k in Capitol budget to protect & preserve this land on behalf of our neighbors!
Such an amazing experience today with @federalwayhigh & the #LatinosUnidos leaders in celebration of #HispanicHeritageMonth2023! These students are engaged & care deeply about our future! Proud to be fighting for a future that includes us all!
Proud to join the @federalwayhigh Latinx Club in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month! Thanks for inviting me to share my story as a Afro-Latina elected official & the work I am doing to fight for a future that includes us all! #hispanicheritagemonth#fwps
I'm proud to champion #childcare access & affordability in #waleg. Fair Start for Kids was solid win, but we must get to #universalchildcare if we are to ensure economic recovery & opportunity for all in WA. I will continue to push us in that direction!

Can't believe we have to say this, but: STOP FLYING DRONES NEAR WILDFIRES. DRONES GROUND OUR AIRCRAFT.
Our firefighting operations are more important than those 12 likes you'll get on Instagram.
Last #waleg session passed law to protect Orcas. Today, grateful to Erin of @ThePWWA & Capt. Brian for hosting & educating on important work happening in Puget Sound to protect orcas through data-sharing, boater education, and ecosystem restoration & protection. 🐋 ♥️
