Enjoyed giving an update to the DuPont City Council last week. Partnerships at all levels are critical to get things done on behalf of residents. Grateful for their invitation!

@LeeConger2 Rewrote it minutes later as I couldn't edit changes I wanted to make in my original paragraph and so reposted with clearer comments. Don't see how that's fraud when posting on my personal account and rewriting a paragraph.

@RepLeavitt Did you erase this? Why. You fraud. You should be fired.

Each of the electeds who spoke were poignant and appear focused on being unified in support their community. All three of the local legislators provided solace as did the other electeds from the Governor to federal reps. The Military Dept was there and their team are solid in state disaster response. And, it goes with out saying the first responders were responsive to questions and information. Hearts and prayers go out to those who lost a family member or are impacted. Such a tragic day for those communities.

Good conversation with Rep. Smith on how far political violence are taking over.

@thehoffather @UW It was really interesting.

Fascinating lecture with civil discourse at @UW tonight Great presentation by Dr. Brandy Shufutinsky on Antisemitism in K-12 schools and higher education Too bad the professors from the Middle East Studies Department weren't here for it

Something struck me tonight as I entered a building at UW to attend a lecture/presentation in one of their buildings. There was security at the door. Two armed officers greeted me and opened the door as I entered. That is not the norm and atypical. The difference is that the presentation was on challenges our Jewish folks face in today's environment and have faced for some time. This is not something we should accept as normal. It's not and demonstrates the dangers or threats our Jewish Washingtonians face just doing regular daily activities. It's concerning on so many levels and must be for all of us if we are to make any real changes.

Attended an interesting presentation on antisemitism tonight @UW. While a provocative title, the content of the conversation was not. In fact, it highlighted the actions that need to be taken in both spaces to ensure students feel safe and able to engage without fear. Unfortunately, that is not the reality right now for students or staff alike. Appreciated the opportunity to learn.

Our thoughts and our prayers are with everyone impacted by this tragedy. My full remarks in Longview today on our state's response.

Glad to read this. I just did a tour of Lumen Field that had a public safety focus on how they are mitigating general risks as well as learn about their efforts to address efforts of trafficking that uptick during these events. I serve on the related State's Task Force Against Trafficking of Persons and we must be focused not just now but always and get good work done. knkx.org/law/2026-05-21…

@JeremyHarrisTV @komonews The Islands are so beautiful. I used to live on San Juan as a child and the entire region is gorgeous.

A few weeks ago, a signal from another TV station started interfering with our tower on Orcas Island. We sent a crew out to investigate. They checked on the tower with our drone and in the process captured some really cool video of the area. @komonews

@jtwilcox111 So love our ports and take every opportunity to support them and their good work. Congrats on Tacoma receiving the environmental stewardship award for the cleanup. Always happy to support Port of Tacoma efforts.

The Wilcox Farms board spent 3 days in Montana visiting with staff and growers. Our largest of 6 processing plants is in Great Falls. Besides our outside board members we had Wilcox's from farm generations 3, 4, 5 and 6 along. Staff and partners want to know we are committed for the long run and bringing 4 generations is a pretty good proof of committment. Also spoke with some very large shippers of grain who depend on our ports.

Fab wear blue to remember event this morning in the 28. Touching to see flags given by soldiers to gold star youth that were carried on the flight. Many runnings and walkers were present, each of us with a soldier's name - family or otherwise - on our bins.

Solemn ceremony today in the 28 in Lakewood sponsored by the Pierce veterans advisory committee. Grateful to see all who came out in the wind, cold and rain and took the time to recognize the sacrifice given. #28thLDStrong

Sound of freedom. Chinook landing now in the DuPont in the 28 as we prepare for the morning's Wear Blue to Remember. On this Memorial Day, may we all remember. #28thLDStrong

@HoffmanJess My view on ferry heading over to one of the islands in my district today.

Beautiful Puget Sound from the window of the great wheel today 🥰

Another poignant ceremony honoring our fallen in the 28 at Clover Park High School at the Arlington Project. Comments by those who spoke reminded us of why we remember. The student led music and color guard were exemplary. #28thLDStrong @CloverParkSD

@WAPolicyGreen Sorry for your loss, Todd, and for her family.

A longtime friend just passed away. She had metastatic cancer for many years and it is a medical miracle that she was able to live so long. I’m thankful for the time she had. Embrace every moment with those you love.
