From a constituent in Seattle, WA4/6Re-fund services at the state level
In the face of anti-federalist defunding of services throughout the country by the current federal administration, the only logical response is to increase services on the state level. I urge you to look at other means of increasing revenue, including a state income tax, which I realize will require
From a verified voter in Seattle, WA4/5Revenue, not cuts.
As our state faces budget challenges, there will be proposals that aim to use cuts to our Universities and schools to trim expenditures. I encourage to seek a different path. Our state must focus on stability in revenues to avoid the cycle of austerity that WA uses too often in crises. We have some

I am writing to urge you, as a state leader, to take an active and visible stand against the unprecedented overreach by former President Trump—most recently through his sweeping and economically dangerous tariffs announced on April 2, 2025.

Hi, I'm a constituent from Puyallup. I’m reaching out to you because I’m furious about Trump’s tariffs. They are going to crash our economy–the stock market is already in a tailspin. They will also ruin untold numbers of Americans. And they’ll destroy our standing in the world. I’m also hearing th

From a constituent in Edmonds, WA3/31Defending Democracy – No Third Presidential Term
I am deeply concerned about recent statements by Donald Trump suggesting he may seek a third term, as reported by NPR on March 30, 2025. The 22nd Amendment clearly limits a president to two terms, and any attempt to circumvent this restriction is a direct threat to our democracy. While this is a fe
