Last month I requested federal relief for farmers in Okanogan County who faced significant damage to their apple, pear, cherry and stone fruit orchards due to severe spring frost.
I’m grateful to announce that U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins granted that request and issued a Secretarial disaster designation. This enables farm operators in the affected area to apply for Farm Service Agency emergency loan assistance.
It looks like voters will get a say on whether to maintain the tax on income over $1 million that was passed earlier this year- and I look forward to the public having their say on this important policy. To be clear, this reform of our regressive tax code included expansion of tax credits for working families, relief for small businesses, and investments in K-12 and affordable childcare. One more thing voters should know: so long as I am Governor I will veto ANY attempt to lower the threshold or raise the rate of this tax-- we are asking those who make the most to pay a little more, and providing relief to workers and small businesses. Let's keep it that way.
Governor maybe read the article before you talk about it. It’s about the illegal gerrymandering that happened to a duly elected State Senator who happens to be a Latina. I didn’t hear you in 2022 talking about these efforts, your office declined to help with the challenge.
President Trump put out the call to rig the system in order to maintain the Republican majority in Congress, and red states are answering. I support efforts to level the playing field. In Washington state, we would need a two-thirds majority in both the House and Senate to change our redistricting process. If we get that supermajority, I would not only support a redistricting effort — I would lead it. https://t.co/t5JFHmxI8Q
@FedEx Do you tell your truck drivers to throw all customers packages? Just watched our driver from my window throw it onto our porch. Wow. @Hallmark know that your packages you send your ornaments customers are being treated poorly.
Breaking: WA State Sen. Nikki Torres is pivoting, will abandon her run for reelection in the 15th LD to run in the 8th LD after Sen. Boehnke announces for Congress. Rep Dufault now has a clearer path to winning the Senate seat Torres holds. #waelex#waleg@WAGOP@washdems
-we have gone from $19 billion in cumulative surpluses to $10-12 billion in projected deficits
-our All Wise and All knowing governor has
—-squandered the surplus
—-raised taxes even higher
—-squandered that money
—-created hidden taxes
—-taken $2billion from you when you fill
—-passed that out to his friends, cronies and anyone he might need politically
And then @GovInslee goes overseas and calls us miscreants for opposing his feckless and pompous behavior…
The deficits, lack of any credible success on the environment, and the poor performance of government have only one party to blame for this….
The same one that has been singularly in power for over 40 straight years.

@DrKimSchrier went to bat for Washington tree fruit growers, and fought to remove harmful Indian apple tariffs that threatened 68,000 jobs in the apple industry. Thanks to her efforts, our communities and local orchards are stronger than ever! 🍎 #WA08#waelex
#wa08 ICYMI… Washington was recently ranked the most dangerous state in the US. This is a problem. What has Kim Schrier done to support law enforcement? In 2022, she voted to defund the police and voted against the Police Act of 2023. As the only candidate with the WACOPs and the King County Police Guild’s endorsement, I stand ready to support law enforcement in Congress.
I’m a huge fan of giving my significant other a kiss before leaving for work, even if it’s early in the morning. My ex hated it, however you never know if that’s the last time you see or touch each other.
#wa08 In the last five years, violent crime in Washington state has increased by nearly 20%. Kim Schrier claims to support our community and law enforcement, yet why has she voted to cut police funding by $22.2 million through HR 7617? As the only candidate endorsed by WACOPs and the King County Police Guild, I will support funding a safe community. @WAGOP

Manka Dhingra has repeated that she’s a “Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney with King County since January 2000” over and over. Yet, the Prosecuting Attorney's Office asked her to remove the claim, suggesting she hasn’t worked there for nearly 3 years.

I know I’m tired of paying more for gas! It’s not the oil companies causing pain at the pump. It’s our political leads. I’m glad to be supporting Carmen Goers.
Are you going somewhere the 4th of July? Since Schrier first took office, gas prices have risen nearly 65%. She’ll say it’s because of corporate greed, but it’s really because of the policies she’s advocated for. Families are feeling the pinch. Can we really afford another two years of Kim Schrier? #WA08
@Delta I’ve never had issues with your flights until today. The flight attendant helping first class was too busy playing on his phone then doing his job. Truly disappointed by the lack of lack of customer service on this flight.
