This is what climate action looks like. Advocacy isn’t always about who is the loudest. Sometimes it’s enduring hours long meetings to update rules. I joined the state’s building code council to help adopt these measures to transition away from fossil fuels. Now they are here!

Updating building codes, for greater energy efficiency and transitioning away from fossil fuels, may be one of Washington’s most promising tools in combating climate change. columbian.com/news/2023/apr/

"This increased PAC spending severely undermines the goal of the voucher program to level the playing field in elections, making it harder for candidates that aren’t supported by monied organizations to make a case and respond to independent expenditures."

11 dead in Monterey Park 12 wounded in Baton Rouge 7 dead in Half Moon Bay 2 students dead in Des Moines 300 shot EVERY SINGLE DAY Every time you vote for a lawmaker who opposes gun safety, you’re voting for policies that make it more likely your loved one will be slaughtered.

A gunman has murdered ten people and injured over a dozen others in Monterey Park, where tens of thousands of Asian American families had gathered to celebrate the Lunar New Year that day. He is still at large. This should be getting way more coverage in media. A terrible act.

Mississippi, Louisiana, Wyoming, Missouri and Alabama have the highest firearm mortality rates in the country, according to the CDC States with the lowest gun death rates - Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island and New York I wonder what these states have in common 🤔

As a society we ban inanimate objects all the time especially if they harm children. I can’t get my kids Kinder eggs in the US because 10 kids worldwide choked on them. All I’m asking is we as a society take gun safety as seriously as we do kid toys.

You’re literally using the same lazy & false talking points from last year where your caucus lost a seat (and have every year for almost a decade) Maybe try a new strategy next year? Or don’t change, that’s fine too because the

Gov. Inslee and Democrat lawmakers plan to make you pay new taxes. This is despite record inflation and a $6 billion surplus. Families and individuals deserve tax relief, not increases. #waleg #UnaffordableWA #ReturnAffordability Read: ow.ly/a2yi50M55ue
