Amid all that happened this session, this flew under the radar—and it shouldn’t! Senator Deb Krishnadasan and I expanded property tax exemptions for seniors, folks retired due to disability, and veterans! People need to know about this. It starts for next year’s filings. Spread the word!

We passed the Millionaires Tax! People have asked, what's next? It's on its way to the governor's desk for signature and we're working to help the state take this next historic step for tax reform!

Breaking - the Senate has just concurred in the House amendments to the Millionaires Tax, and this historic tax reform is going to the governor's desk! I am so excited to pass this transformative change to fix our upside-down tax code, provide major tax cuts for small businesses and working families, and provide more funding for the schools, health care, and higher education that we all know Washingtonians are counting on. This is a day for celebration after years of work! 🎉🎉

I’m tired of an upside-down tax code that asks so much more from small businesses and working families than it does from the people making untold millions from the tech economic boom. The Millionaires Tax will do so much to fix our tax code, ask the people making more than $1 million a year to pay a bit more, so we can more than double the small business tax credit and offer the largest tax benefit for small businesses in the history of our state AND make the investments in our schools and health care that we all know we need.

Washington state has been called the “Cayman Islands of the United States" for how we shelter our wealthiest few from having to pay their fair share in taxes. I’m tired of the inaction! We need to pass the Millionaires Tax and ask those who are making a million dollars a year or more to pay back and help make the investments everybody needs. Less than 1% of our state will pay this tax, but 100% of our state will benefit!

Massachusetts recently passed a Millionaires Tax. You know what happened? The millionaires didn’t leave. They stayed and they contributed back to their community for the benefit of all. That’s what’s going to happen here in Washington when we pass our Millionaires Tax and raise money to invest in public schools, health care, higher education, and the other essential services that people in our state are counting on.

We celebrated “Children’s Day” in the Senate this week, an annual tradition where legislators bring their children and other children in their lives to the Senate floor. It’s a fun way to share our workdays with our families and teach the kids a bit about the legislative process and why Mom is gone so many days in winter. Making sure that all children in this state have the resources and support they need to thrive is the issue that drives me every day in the Legislature. We need to create a society where no one is left out and left behind, especially our children, and I will always fight for state government and a state budget that makes the investments in families and communities that we all need. My son stayed to watch the first hour of the Millionaires Tax debate - an important bill to help make the promise of that society real for every Washington family.

I’ve spent ten years in the Legislature working to fix our upside-down and regressive tax code. That passion comes out of my own childhood in the Battle Ground School District, where I felt the impact of what happens when school levies fail, and students and their schools are let down by their communities. The Millionaires Tax is a transformative piece of legislation to make the changes people in our community are demanding and provide the funding for schools we all know we need!

I shared a very personal story on the floor of the Senate this week while we were passing SB 5917 - a bill to help expand the availability of mifepristone and misoprostol, a pair of drugs important for both inducing an abortion and for managing a miscarriage. The speech was about my own health and a miscarriage I personally experienced and it was something I haven't publicly shared until now. I hope you'll take a few minutes to watch this. This bill is about women's health care. These are medications that are safe, they have been approved by the FDA for more than 25 years, and they are still hard to get access to. I am proud that Washington state, after passage of this bill, will be a another step closer to being a state where you can manage a miscarriage with dignity. That's what we're trying to do here and I look forward to the House acting on this bill to ensure we have good, strong access to women's health in our state.

Yesterday, we mourned the loss of bills from this session's first cut-off (committee of origin). Here's to all those who put in the work and might be feeling a certain type of way right now. Just remember, most bills take way more than one run before becoming law. It's an unfortunate part of the process, but it isn't the end.

Honored to be selected as a champion for our kids, and grateful to Children's Alliance for all the work they do! We’ll keep pushing for SB 5708 to protect Washington children from social media platforms sparking and then preying on poor mental health and addictive feeds.

Congratulations to Sen. Emily Alvarado, Representative April Berg, Rep. Adam Bernbaum, Representative Lisa Callan, Senator Noel Frame, Rep. Natasha Hill , Rep. Monica Stonier, Rep. Jamila Taylor, and Sen. Yasmin Trudeau
