Congratulations to the Mariners on their incredible postseason run. I’m proud our fans got to experience so much October baseball. While it is disappointing to see their historic season come to an end, I know this is a sign of great things to come. See you next season!

Phyllis Gutiérrez Kenney was a trailblazer, serving 14 years in the Leg. + championing immigrant rights, workforce development, & ed access. Her family was one of the earliest Mexican families in the Yakima Valley.

Her legacy lives on. #WAleg #Womenshistorymonth

What's disrespectful is to continue peddling this truncated quote that completely misrepresents what was said on the floor of the House. Watch what was actually said before believing any random graphic you see on the internet. #waleg

[WA House Democrats @WAHouseDems]

@AnthonyMixerWA The 48 hour notification was already established law & unanimously agreed to by #waleg 20 years ago, with 2 current Republican members voting for it. We talked to law enf. before changing the notification language -- but thanks for giving us the opportunity to point that out!

[WA House Democrats @WAHouseDems]

Amplifying this falsity to point out that this is NOT what was said and is a misrepresentation of the facts. Really sad that it has come to this in #waleg. Here's what was actually said.

[Anthony Mixer @AnthonyMixerWA]

The chair of the @WAHouseDems caucus, Rep. Ortiz-Self, doesn’t like parents having access to their children or what they are learning in taxpayer funded schools.

Give her office a call and tell her how you feel!

[WA House Democrats @WAHouseDems]

To absolutely NO ONE'S surprise, this is not the full quote. You want to know what was actually said & how Rep. Ortiz-Self was actually advocating for ALL parents? Watch for yourself.

This tweet is ridiculous. #waleg

WA House Dems are debating our proposal to invest MORE in public safety, yes including law enforcement, but also de-escalation, use-of-force policies, & more. Watch live & see why we believe in giving communities the tools and flexibility they need: https://t.co/bmS8HS9fV8 #waleg

After a week of floor action we have stood up for Washingtonians, including bills addressing gun violence, increasing access to hormone therapy prescriptions, & ensuring science is how public health decisions are made, not politics. #waleg https://t.co/vxXL1eM1QP

On Aug. 10, 1890, Fay Fuller became the first woman to summit Mount Rainier—rocking a flannel bloomer suit (scandalous!), blackened face for sun protection, & pure grit. She later helped create Mount Rainier National Park & co-founded climbing clubs. #WomensHistoryMonth

Oh no, we're still fighting racism. The audacity.

[WA House Republicans @WaHouseGOP]

Despite Washington’s looming multi-billion-dollar deficit, House Democrats are pushing a bill to expand interest-free loans and closing cost assistance to individuals earning up to $172k, paid for by document fees charged to taxpayers.
