Generation to generation, women's ability to make their own health care decisions has changed drastically—and the SCOTUS decision that ripped away the constitutional right to abortion dragged our country backwards.
Watch this powerful testimony from today's Senate HELP hearing.
Honored to be endorsed by Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates. When women’s bodily autonomy is threatened, the work this organization does is more important than ever. The right to a safe abortion is protected in Washington, and I will work to ensure it stays that way.
Evidence mounts about the health dangers of burning gas in our homes. New research about emissions of benzene and other carcinogens justifies this is not “natural gas.” It is dirty gas. It is why transitioning from dirty gas is necessary for our health.

If unions didn’t help working people, then massive corporations like Amazon wouldn’t fight so hard to stop their workers from unionizing.
The Senate needs to protect workers, immediately pass the PRO Act, and send it to the President’s desk.

How can we let this go on? The more guns in people's hands, the more shootings, the more loved ones left with grief and sorrow for the rest of their lives. #stopnow
I filed for the Washington State House, LD 22 to continue fighting for full reproductive rights, worker rights, climate solutions, gun responsibility, housing solutions, education, police accountability and the needs and priorities specific to the mighty 22nd LD!!!!! #run22
This is a step forward in Washington State transitioning commercial and large multi-family away from gas appliances for space and water hearing. And as @rebleber says, we hope it spurs other states to follow. Who's next?
Buildings are our state’s second largest source of emissions. Clean buildings are more efficient, and healthier for people and our planet. Thanks to the Building Code Council for helping our state lead the way!
WA is one step closer to giving local jurisdictions the tools they need to make sure new homes are built clean and energy-efficient—vital to achieving our emission reduction goals. #WALeg Senate Energy committee approves #HB1770, next headed to the Senate floor
With Rep. Laurie Dolan’s retirement, I am running for the legislature. I still have work to do on climate, housing, worker's rights and so much more. https://t.co/vamGc8Yvdm
The Heating and Cooling Relief Act introduced today by me and @SenMarkey will end energy poverty, clear utility debt, promote energy & climate justice and even save lives.
We need this bill passed now so that people can save on utility costs and maintain their energy use.
If there's anyone in this country that can take Exxon and others to court and win it's @BobFergusonAG. Time to hold them accountable for their misinformation campaigns about climate change to protect their profits over public health. Thanks @Hackney4the11th.
State Rep. David Hackney, a former federal prosecutor, says it's time for Washington to hold polluters accountable for lying about their role in the climate crisis.

DYK that HB 1767 will pave the way for improved customer choice and lower the cost of going #allelectric? It’s beneficial for both utilities AND customers, so it’s a win-win. Time to #electrifynow with @WAHouseDems in the HouseEE committee right now!
@jonny_roby @LisaParshley We have a lot of buildings and homes that rely on the fossil fuel called gas. And unfortunately in Olympia, our electricity still has coal in the mix - but thanks to the Clean Energy Transformation Act, that will be a thing of the past in 2025.
Thank you Olympia City Council and the leadership of CMs @LisaParshley and Dani Madrone for your action to transition our buildings to be all electric. #climateleadership#cleancodes
More local #climateleadership: The Olympia City Council is committing to electrify all city-owned buildings, and will explore policy options for requiring all new buildings to be fossil fuel-free. Resolution (initial) text: https://t.co/VeRQw8liCF
