Dear Friends and Neighbors,
The Legislature is off and running for the 2020 session. Week one is officially in the books. During the even numbered years, the 60-days of session start of at a sprinters pace, rather than a marathon, as we dive right into the work ahead, introduce bills, and begin our time in committee hearings.
I'd like to start this weekly email update with an announcement on our newest communication tool:
Introducing your go-to source for the latest legislative news: The Washington State Ledger | A News Aggregator. I encourage you to bookmark this website (http://waledger.houserepublicans.wa.gov/) so you can always stay up to date on our latest breaking news, current headlines, and more. This is a great resource for news and information.
You'll often hear buzz phrases from the majority party referencing, “One Washington” and “Putting People First.” However, under their one-party control of Olympia, the facts show that many parts of Washington state have become unsafe, unaffordable and unaccountable. It's time to expect more.
We believe that Washington state is your home and you should expect more. You should always feel safe in your home and community. You should not have to endure new tax, regulatory and financial burdens that make your home unaffordable. And, you should expect the governor and Legislature to be held accountable for their decisions and results.
When we consider legislation this session, we will look through the lens of: Will this make Washington state, your home, MORE:
- Safe
- Affordable
- Accountable
We've already introduced bills this session that offer solutions to many of our state's current unsafe, unaffordable and unaccountable issues. Please bookmark this website (http://houserepublicans.wa.gov/our-priorities/) and check back throughout session for updates on our continued efforts to make Washington state safe, affordable and accountable.
Stay up to date!
