Michelle 4 Senate

It has been my honor to serve as your State Representative.  Things were different when I was first elected in 2014.  In the State Senate, Republicans gained control when they formed the Majority Coalition.  In the House, it was almost evenly split, with Democrats holding a tiny one-seat majority.  Fast forward to today: with Republicans losing seats virtually every election cycle, Democrats now have a constitutional three-fifths supermajority in both the House and Senate.  They can pass bonds and take on more debt over the objection of every Republican in the legislature.  Budgets will pass without a single Republican in the room.  Over the last few years, with unchecked Democrat control, we have seen our communities deteriorate- skyrocketing crime and drug use, more homelessness, ballooning cost of living, and an education system that is failing our children.

After current 26^th district senator Emily Randall moves to Congress, there will be a special election for her vacated Senate seat in 2025.  Taking this seat back will stop a supermajority and bring balance back to our state.  This is why I am running for the Senate in the 26^th Legislative District.  I have a proven track record of winning in our battleground swing district, but will need your help to achieve victory in this tough election.  

On December 14th, I will enter a “freeze” when ethics rules prohibit legislators from raising campaign funds during the legislative session.  Any financial contribution or commitment to volunteer is needed before the “freeze” period.  In this one Senate race, our community has the opportunity to make a huge difference for all of Washington.  Let’s do this together!
