BREAKING: Senate Majority Leader Andy Billig announced today he will not seek re-election in 2024. Over the last 6 years, he's led Senate Democrats on a path of unprecedented progress on voting rights, climate action, gun safety, reproductive rights, education & housing. #WALeg
Thank you to Senate Majority Leader and 2023 WSMA Legislator of the Year @andybillig for joining us at the #WSMAsummit to talk about his perspective on session dynamics and what's happening in Olympia!

As part of @TCS_Spokane's “TCS Bikes” program, students got to hear from Sen. Majority Leader @andybillig about bike policy & how students can promote a bike-friendly #Spokane.
TCS Bikes started after a 2022 project called “Livin’ Life on Two Wheels” prompted the school to continue helping student learn about biking in the city & how they can advocate for bike safety. TCS Bikes Program was made possible by a grant from @spokanecounty's Bike Swap, which funded a bike storage unit & bikes.

Big turnout for our Bike Town Hall! Thank you to everyone who attended & to @ZackZappone for co-hosting with me. We had a pleasant ride & productive dialogue about bike infrastructure as we work toward the goal of making biking safe, accessible & enjoyable throughout our city.
Logan Elementary addition is on the move! Excited to provide space for a school health clinic and early learning programming. Grateful for the local support and state legislators like @andybillig that made this project possible #SPSPromise#BuiltOnLove
Spent part of the day with Medical Lake Mayor Terri Cooper learning more about the Gray fire and learning how best to support the communities experiencing loss & displacement. Could not be more impressed with Mayor Cooper & her dedication to helping the people of Medical Lk.
I just received an update on the fires from Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz. She said the most important message to everyone at the moment is to follow evacuations orders. This allows firefighters to most effectively do their jobs and, of course, keep everyone safe.
@WashingtonSRC Are you really trashing legislation to address climate change while fires caused by climate change are literally burning down whole neighborhoods in Spokane County!?!
I am grateful for the incredible effort being made by firefighters & other first responders from DNR & local agencies working on the Spokane area fires. We are monitoring closely to make sure all possible state resources are available to assist.
