When trying to get a product fixed, you might find yourself in a fix. That’s why the FTC wants to hear what happened if you recently tried to get a product repaired. Learn more: https://t.co/6VGBZZhFMA #RightToRepair /1
“'Government can’t close that gap all by itself, it has to have for-profit, market-rate housing built all at the same time,' said @MiaGregerson33, a Democrat."

My favorite part of this is all the replies being like "wait ... we agree on something!?"
Right to Repair is just common sense to everyone who doesn't make equipment. Let us fix our stuff.
"The Pacific NW is a leader in the resurgence of this form of affordable housing. OR last year passed a bill opening the door for micro-apartments and WA state lawmakers this year did the same."
Thank you @MiaGregerson33, @TheJesseSalomon, and @AKB1968!

So much of my work is based on relationships in everything from advocacy to policy. It was terrific to partner up with so many housing champions this session. I will continue to fight for rent stabilization, I hope you join us.
@AARPWA was proud to support another great @MiaGregerson33 bill to expand housing choice. Many older adults find these as great choices to help them age in place and in their communities. #agefriendly
