We just heard HB 2607 in the House Transportation Committee—I like it a lot. #askwaleg
Hey #AskWaLeg, will you support #HB2607/#SB6304 to improve access to state ID for youth and young adults experiencing #homelessness? #Puttingpeoplefirst

I met with a constituent from Whidbey Island last week who is very excited about this option for our communities! #askwaleg
Hi legislators! I’m excited that backyard cottages are part of the discussion about expanding less expensive housing choices for people in every neighborhood in our state. How do you plan to educate your constituents about these & lower local barriers to build them? #AskWaLeg

Affordable housing is one of the most important issues in rural districts like the 10 LD. Thanks for your advocacy on this important issue.
In Washington there are only 50 affordable and available homes for every 100 households who are considered very low income (earn less than 50% AMI). Can we count on real progress to solve the housing gap for the lowest income people this session? #AskWaLeg
Happy to join tonight’s #askwaleg town hall!
Looking forward to participating in another #askWALeg town hall at 6:30 tonight! Ask my House and Senate Democratic colleagues questions on your mind about the legislative session!

Like many of our friends, student loan debt is a huge financial burden for my spouse and I. I love the Student Loan Bill of Rights (thanks @MarkoLiias!) and I'm curious what's on deck in 2020 to help out Washingtonians struggling with the high price of higher ed? #askwaleg

Women on Apple Health are kicked off soon after giving birth, and women of color have higher post-birth mortality rates. Who will make sure they have access to healthcare? #askwaleg @runsinthehalls @EmilyRandallWA

Many thanks to @TanaSenn for her leadership on this important issue!
We just make #childcare more accessible, affordable for low-income and working families. We must support the workforce, increase supply with capital grants and invest in birth to 3 programs. Good for kids brain development, parents employment and biz and the economy! #askwaleg

Excited to have just voted to increase property tax exemptions for disabled veterans & senior citizens--an issue I have heard so much about across the 41st! This will be critical to help the elderly stay in their homes! #waleg #AARP #Bellevue #mercerisland #issaquah #newcastle
