Fighting for Our Community

I have an unwavering commitment to strengthen public schools. In the 2025 legislative session, I safeguarded funding for K-12 education and championed an additional $1.4 billion investment in school districts. As prime sponsor of&nbsp;<a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=5263&amp;Year=2025&amp;Initiative=false">SB 5263</a>, I secured a $750 million increase in special education services. I also shepherded&nbsp;<a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=2049&amp;Year=2025&amp;Initiative=false">HB 2049</a>&nbsp;through the Senate, empowering districts such as Seattle to seek additional enrichment levy funding. I will build on this momentum to deepen Washington’s investment in classrooms and communities.

Education

I believe that stable, affordable housing is essential for healthy communities. I led efforts to provide $770 million in new funding for housing. As tenant issues dramatically affect many constituents, I helped pass rent stabilization, expand prohibited rental provisions; and enacted laws aimed at streamlining housing construction and preventing homelessness. I remain dedicated to policies and investments that will increase housing access and affordability.

Housing

I continue working hard to combat climate change. To address extreme heat and wildfire threats, I supported legislation to cut emissions, reinforce carbon-reduction programs, and accelerate clean energy development. I worked to defend the Climate Commitment Act, a landmark policy targeting a 95% emissions reduction by 2050. I am committed to leading Washington State into a green future.

Climate

I am determined to make Washington safer for everyone. I helped pass legislation prohibiting domestic violence abusers from having&nbsp;guns, and introduced and got passed legislation strengthening the State’s&nbsp;authority to revoke law enforcement licenses after serious misconduct. I also introduced and got passed legislation to allow individuals who are concerned about suicidal thoughts to voluntarily waive their right to purchase a gun. I was a co-sponsor of successful bills enacting a stricter firearm permitting process, an assault weapons ban, and a $100 million investment in new law enforcement&nbsp;hiring and training, and in increased behavioral health alternative response staffing staffing across Washington. Through these and other initiatives, I am working to ensure that all communities and feel safe.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Delivering Real Solutions for Seattle</h2><h4 style="text-align: center;">By&nbsp;leading our Democratic majority to pass&nbsp;progressive,&nbsp;forward‑thinking legislation, and&nbsp;securing critically needed investments for our district, I have&nbsp;been able to deliver real results for our community. Below are just four of the priorities for which I have helped our state make significant progress.</h4><h4 style="text-align: center;">There is still much more to be done, and what is happening at the federal level makes our work even more urgent. We have to do more to reduce the cost of living, speed up production of affordable housing, and continue to protect our neighbors and our institutions from the cruelty of the Trump administration.&nbsp;</h4>
