Sen. Emily Randall

Talking education & workforce, housing & “vegetable husbandry” (my words, not the Extension’s 😉) with the @WSU_Cougar_Pres and team over good food at Axe & Arrow. Thanks for visiting the 26th!

We know in our post-Roe world we must explore every option to ensure WA’s long legacy of safeguarding reproductive freedom continues. That’s why we passed SB 5768 to protect access to mifepristone, so our neighbors can get the abortion care they need when they need it. #WALeg

If you need an abortion or gender affirmation care & it’s no longer legal in your home state, Washington is a safe place for you. We strengthened our commitment moments ago by passing the Shield Law off the Senate floor & sending it to the Governor for signature. 💜💜💜

@galena_white I’m working hard for full service restoration on our @wsferries — this bill bill doesn’t take anything away from them, but rather ensures that both agencies are treated the same when it comes to DNR over-water leases

We talk a lot about companion bills in the #WALeg. But what does that term mean?    Rep. Spencer Hutchins and I break it down and talk about our companion bills (SB 5292/HB 1334) to support our local passenger-only ferries. ⛴️

Happy #TransVisibilityDay to all our trans & nonbinary neighbors. In Washington, we will never ever, ever give up on our work to expand access to care for all folks — no matter where they live, their age or the pronouns they use. #WALeg

Big news, y’all. 👇🏽 The state Supreme Court upheld the capital gains excise tax—a major step forward to fixing our upside-down tax code. This will inject much-needed funding into childcare support for working parents & provide relief for low- to middle-income taxpayers. #WALeg

Did you hear the news?! My first bill passed the House floor today. 🥳 #SB5394 support physicians trained at international medical schools in providing care in Washington by helping grow practice opportunities. #WALeg

I loved the questions and feedback I heard from neighbors this weekend at our four town halls! We talked about everything from health care access and public safety to transportation and housing. Can’t wait for another opportunity to connect in real time soon!

@matthew4brem Good question! We (along with other states) have indeed voted to end it — pending federal action. More info here: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

We know cost remains a significant barrier to higher education. That’s why I’ve proposed SB 5703 to increase the number of students who qualify for the WA College Grant — one of the nation’s strongest financial aid programs. #WALeg Learn how at the link in the comments ⬇️
