Dear Neighbor,
The 2026 legislative session is moving quickly, and Our Community at the Capitol continues to spotlight the amazing people and organizations from the 20th Legislative District who are showing up and making their voices heard in Olympia. Each biweekly update features photos and highlights from constituents who visit the Capitol and bring their stories, ideas, and passion directly to the heart of state government.
Before we dive into all the visitors, I want to encourage you to stay connected to what’s happening in Olympia. Each week, in my role as House Republican Caucus Chair, I share a short video recap of key developments at the Capitol.
In this week’s update, I talk about the two citizen-led initiatives before the Legislature and Washington’s first proposed state income tax.
You can watch my weekly recap by clicking on the photo below or here. As always, I appreciate your engagement and participation in the conversation.
