Rep Alex Ramel

INBOX: King County Superior Court Judge Judge Sandra Widlan has ruled that I-2066, the initiative that banned state agencies from encouraging the phase out of methane gas use, is unconstitutional. Widlan said it violated Washington state’s rules around ballot measures.

I’m glad to have folks like Alex fighting for us in Olympia. Let’s get this passed!

It’s time to stabilize rents in Washington. I’m excited to cosponsor this priority legislation. washingtonstatestandard.com/2025/01/10/was…

Voter support for the capital gains tax makes it clear, it’s time to reform our upside down tax system in Washington. cascadiadaily.com/2025/jan/08/le…

The Legislative session starts on Monday, here are a few of the priorities on my mind as our work begins. goskagit.com/anacortes/anac…

Any effort to get voters in those key battleground state helps--every election cycle, we see how razor thin the margins are. Go to votesaveamerica.com/vote to get a free script to encourage three swing state voters in your life today!

I’m grateful to be endorsed by SEIU 925—their union is on the front lines, ensuring that the children of WA have access to quality education. And I’m in great company! If you’re still making up your mind about how to vote, check out their endorsements! seiu925.org/2024endorsemen…

Initiative 2117 was funded by a millionaire hedge fund owner from California with ties to the fossil fuel industry. This initiative will cut investments in clean energy, transportation, healthy forests, and more. LET’S VOTE NO! seattletimes.com/opinion/climat…

Multi-modal transportation can reduce pollution and is critical to the 25% of Washingtonians who don’t drive. That’s why Transportation for WA’s mission is vital. I appreciate their endorsement and I’m committed to promoting equitable public transit! facebook.com/Transportation…

NO on Initiative 2117 Stop the effort to remove limits on pollution & gut funds for salmon habitat restoration & transportation infrastructure. NO on Initiative 2124 This would increase healthcare costs and medical debt by taking away long-term care benefits.

Haven’t filled out your ballots yet? Here’s a reminder to reject the efforts of powerful interests: NO on Initiative 2066 Attacks energy efficiency and would increase your energy bills. NO on Initiative 2109 This would strip billions of $$$ from public schools and childcare.

I’m proud to have the endorsement of the @IBEWlocal191! For over 100 years, the IBEW has been working to protect electrical workers while ensuring the highest standards for the electrical industry, which keeps our communities powered⚡️⚡️

Among the many exciting features of Mount Vernon’s new Library Commons building is its public EV charging station—now one of the largest in the US. I agree with Senator Cantwell that transit-oriented projects like this create more livable communities. bellinghamherald.com/news/state/was…

It’s a privilege to be endorsed by, supported by, and to fight alongside the @whatcomdems and @skagitdemocrats. Together we can advance policies that increase housing stability, improve education, protect the environment and defeat the MAGA-backed initiatives.

Amazing turnout last weekend in Mount Vernon to get out the vote for Democrats and to stop the 4 statewide initiatives. Thanks to all the volunteers and organizers who helped make this happen!

So great to see so many volunteers turned out to help get out the vote at DoorBellingham! @whatcomdems @No_on_2117 @no_on_2066 @No_On_2124

The women of Grandmother’s Against Gun Violence have watched their children and grandchildren threatened by growing risk of mass shootings, and have called on us to act. I’m honored to have their endorsement.

Doorbellingham 2024! Ballots will be mailed next week. Join us to mobilize voters and get out the vote for all of our priorities. I’m helping to organize this huge volunteer event, kicking off at Hotel Leo, on Saturday the 19th at 10:30AM. RSVP here! facebook.com/events/1246231…

Mount Vernon has just opened its Library Commons project, boasting a massive children’s library, ample parking with EV chargers & a community kitchen. It’s being hailed as a “national model” for rural development and I’m proud to have supported it. cascadiadaily.com/2024/oct/01/mo…

I support the efforts of Bellingham council members to get rid of junk fees for tenants. Costs to renters should be upfront and consistent, not hidden and piecemeal. These costs create added barriers to stable housing. bellinghamherald.com/news/politics-…
