War with Iran is needless, thoughtless, and illegal under international law and the US Constitution. Like previous wars of adventure, it will end badly for US interests after costing countless innocent lives, traumatizing communities, and further dividing our country. My heart is broken.

Tomorrow the House Finance Committee will vote on the Millionaires Tax. I’m excited to take this step forward. For the next hour I’ll be monitoring this channel and happy to answer questions. #AskWaleg

I hope you can join me and Liz Lovelett and Debra Lekanoff at our town hall meetings: in person in Mount Vernon this Saturday, or the following Wednesday evening by phone.

’ve now watched three videos of federal agents restraining, beating, and shooting Alex Pretti, a 37 year old ICU Nurse in Minnesota. This is horrifying and deeply saddening.

Ken Bell lost his re-election last November to Carley James. He came to her first meeting sitting in his old spot to express support and to congratulate her. Leadership and politics can look like this. www.instagram.com/reel/DTRMu5V... #washingtonstate #pnw #washington #bellingham #whatcomcounty

ICE and DHS are not making our communities safer. The direction of this administration is deliberately inflaming tension, frightening innocent people, and acting with lawless, deadly violence. The killing of Rene Nichole Good by ICE agents and the shooting yesterday in Portland are heartbreaking.

Boosting our economy while supporting local farmers is a win-win! Excited for our community to gain this resource! www.goskagit.com/news/busines... #washingtonstate #pnw #bellingham #whatcomcounty #skagitvalley

Gratified to see our community coming together to support the food bank and our neighbors. #washingtonstate #pnw #washington #whatcomcounty #skagitvalley #SNAP #foodinsecurity

Early childhood education is some of the smartest money we can spend; kids who each kindergarten ready to learn see impacts that ripple through their whole lives. I’m excited to see this facility open up to help meet this need in Anacortes. www.goskagit.com/anacortes/it... #anacortes #washington

In Washington we are doing everything we can to make sure our neighbors don’t go hungry. If you are in a position to support your local food bank, please consider doing so. Https://www.cascadiadaily.com/2025/oct/29/wa-directs-state-dollars-to-food-banks-as-snap-funding-cliff-nears/

Participants young and old nearly filled Maritime Heritage Park, and people were still arriving an hour into the program.

Saturday Oct 18th, I’ll be at the #NoKings protest in Bellingham. They want us to be afraid and isolated. Coming together and making our voices heard is empowering and hopeful. I hope to see you there. www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve... #nokingsprotest #NoKingsRally #bellingham #whatcomcounty #handsoff
