Happy Father’s Day to all Washington’s dads! You do so much to take care of your family but also please remember to take care of yourself. June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month – men are four times likely to die by su***de than women and are also far less likely to seek help. Senate Democrats prioritize mental health every year by expanding treatment options and access. In 2026 we passed a law to ensure behavioral health and wellness trainings are part of apprenticeship programs in the building and construction trades to combat growing behavioral health concerns in that industry.

The contrast couldn't be more clear! Trump and the Republicans couldn't do more to run our country into the ground if they tried. Meanwhile, Senate Democrats are putting the people of our state first. The Millionaires Tax will raise revenue to invest in schools, health care, and important services - all while lowering taxes for more than 99% of people of our state! The wealthy paying their fair share, lower taxes for everyone else, and kids and families getting the support they need sounds like the better deal to us.

As the USMNT prepares for a historic match with Australia tomorrow in Seattle, we are celebrating the World Cup by highlighting a few members of our caucus who love the beautiful game!

The Legislature has worked to make sure this historic event is successful with new funding for security, field and transportation improvements from Seattle to Spokane. Field upgrades at UW and Gonzaga will ensure the national teams from Belgium and Egypt have quality practice facilities for their base camps and added transportation funding will help fans get easily to and from the games in Seattle. Happy World Cup and Go USA!

We're proud Washington is a sanctuary for q***r people fleeing repressive red states. While Republicans across the country obsess over people's ge****ls and fight for out-of-touch policies that restrict freedom, Washington Democrats are focused on building a state where people can live freely and without fear of discrimination. See why Washington trumps the MAGA madness!

Republicans are begging for a bailout for Trump's gas prices — so much so they've changed their tune on the governor's emergency powers! They're trying to scapegoat the Climate Commitment Act, which Washingtonians overwhelmingly upheld by 62% in 2024, instead of pleading with Trump to fix the mess he created. We're not going to save Republicans from their poor decisions, but we are going to keep investing in transportation electrification to keep our state moving forward and ensure Washingtonians aren't punished at the pump for a reckless president's illegal war!

Republicans love to scream about how much they hate Seattle and think Washington state sucks, but our cities are some of the best places in the country to raise a family. Why? Because they give families better access to living-wage jobs and good healthcare, great public transportation and walkable neighborhoods, strong public schools and universities, more childcare and early learning opportunities, and incredible public libraries and parks. Plus, living in Washington means families can get Paid Family and Medical Leave, the Working Families Tax Credit, stabilized rents, free transit fares for their kids, and so much more. Democrats love this state, and we’ll never stop fighting to make it even better.

Wondering why costs are going up at the grocery store and the gas pump? Look to the White House. President Trump's unnecessary and illegal war with Iran is driving up prices across the board for Washingtonians. Washington Democrats are taking a different approach, focusing on affordability. The Millionaires Tax we passed asks those making more than $1 million a year to pay a little more and uses the money to LOWER TAXES for EVERYONE in Washington, along with important investments in K-12 education and making up for the health care cuts passed by the Republican Congress. Lower taxes on the middle class and more investments in schools and health care sounds like a better plan to us!
