Ummmmm. I hate to say it but this is NOT a late April Fools’ joke. We are seeing quite a bit of snow in our region this morning. Crews sent me these pictures of I-90 (east of Sprague left, Fishtrap right). Please watch for our crews treating and clearing the roadway. Not a drill
Team Riccelli is approaching our first fundraising deadline for our campaign for State Senate. Can you chip in today? With your help we will ensure we have the resources to take our message directly to the voters - thank you! https://t.co/teqejMuD6o
MIRACLE ACHIEVED! It sounds like the owner of the gifts has been identified and will be reunited with the gifts at our Leavenworth maintenance shed! Merry Christmas everyone!
I’m pleased to receive endorsements of neighborhood advocate & former candidate for Mayor Patrick McKann & champion for historic preservation, Republican Joanne Halstead Moyer. Her late husband, my former opponent, started “1st Steps” for new moms & babies, & I helped expand it.

Last week Marcus partnered to secure $3 million in funding to conserve land and shoreline along the Little Spokane River. It was the final link connecting Waikiki Springs Nature Preserve and Riverside State Park. He joined the Spokane Tribe in reintroducing salmon into the river.
Marcus had a great time at the Spokane Democrats Annual Salmon Bake and listening to candidates up for election. Don't forget to turn your ballots in for the August 1 primary!
Please tune in to this announcement! I'm looking forward to building on the legislation I sponsored last year with a proposal to provide school meals to all Washington students. Live stream link below starting at 8:30am. #FoodIsHealth#EndChildhoodHungerInWA#FoodFighters#waleg

Thank you for joining us for yesterday's celebration, @marcusriccelli! We are grateful for the support the #WALeg has shown for the UW's medical education programs here in Spokane and across our state.
"With this proposal and the work that will follow, this is an important next step to ensuring that free school meals are for all students. And it’s critical action toward meeting our collective goal of ending childhood hunger in Washington.” #FoodIsHealth

I appreciated the opportunity to speak at the opening of the new building that will house the UW-GU Health Partnership in Spokane. I am proud that UW has a permanent home in Spokane. It’s a demonstration of UW’s and our state’s commitment to serving this community.
Sandy Williams was a warrior for all those systematically oppressed. This is a tragic loss for Spokane and our state. I want to extend my deepest sympathy to her family. She influenced so many lives including my own. Rest In Power.
I learned yesterday that Al French is failing to participate in the League of Women Voter's upcoming forum. The incumbent's inability to find a small window of time to participate in this forum confirms that he campaigns the same way he governs: the less people know, the better.
