Washington Democrats

Congratulations to our executive board officers for the 2025-2026 cycle! Chair: Shasti Conrad Vice Chair: John Thompson Secretary: Diane Young Treasurer: David Green

I’m proud of my two Senators who voted no! Thank you @PattyMurray and @MariaCantwell!

I know how I feel and I think it’s how most of us feel. It is the Republicans who have to own the fact that they control all branches of government and their priorities for the American people is to kick them off their health insurance and deny babies food. This is theirs to own.

What is Trump 😶‍🌫️?@TheDemocrats research team lays out the Trump Epstein facts.

Rep. Marilyn Strickland (D-WA) is not mincing words about the Trump tax-and-spending bill just approved by US House "The greatest, most cruel, scam in history"

I’d also like to congratulate our new senior leadership and DNC Associate Chairs: @libbyschneider, Jessica Wright, @JoyceBeatty, @ShastiConrad, and @sappelbaum. Their leadership will be critical as we take on Donald Trump and fight for working families.

Russ Vought—Trump's nominee to manage our nation's budget—is an abortion abolitionist, meaning he supports *prosecuting abortion as homicide and putting women in prison* even in cases of rape or when the mother's life is at risk. He's an extremist who has NO place in government.

If you’re feeling despair, I completely understand. But Trump’s second term is already exposing a reality that's been hidden from many Americans: the raw, stinking power of the American oligarchy. I’m hopeful that America will see this reality for what it is and respond to it.

WA Dems applaud Chair Conrad for her powerful run for DNC Vice Chair. Her election as Western Region ASDC Representative to the DNC Executive Committee means that Washington's winning party-building strategies will be front and center at the national level.

Congratulations to your newly elected DNC officers! We look forward to working with every one of them!

Washington Democrat's Statement Regarding Last Night's Aircraft Collision:

This is just more chaos and confusion. The American people deserve to know if Trump is freezing the programs they need to live. Tell them.

This is a big win, but make no mistake, this fight is far from over. The chaos, confusion, and illegal acts by the Trump Administration will only continue, and at every step, I'll be sure to stand up for the priorities of the Eighth District. seattletimes.com/nation-world/n…

Take 9️⃣1️⃣ seconds to hear my take on the Republican Rip-Off & how I’m fighting for #WA02 working families ⬇️

Sen. SCHIFF: “The last person you want” as FBI Director is someone like Kash Patel… dishonest, untrustworthy, lacking in character.

BREAKING: Trump has BACKED DOWN on his order to freeze federal funding. Why? Because Dems showed how this would hurt working families across America. Now, they’re no longer freezing Medicaid, Food Stamps, & more. We'll keep fighting to protect the programs that deliver for you.

This fight is far from over; the Trump admin is still illegally withholding funding across government. Republicans are still intent on confirming Russ Vought as this country’s budget director—someone who has REFUSED to say he will follow the law. Don't let up.

We took action to protect families from this unlawful & extreme overreach. I will remain vigilant against future attempts by President Trump to impose his Project 2025 agenda. npr.org/2025/01/29/g-s…

Wishing all those who celebrate a happy Lunar New Year! May the Year of the Snake bring you and your loved ones joy, prosperity, and new beginnings!
