Friends and neighbors,<\/p>\n

This week the Senate passed a supplemental operating budget that puts Washingtonians first and we\u2019re working around the clock to pass some other heavy hitting legislation that gives back to working families.<\/p>\n

We know Washington state is ranked #1 for the most regressive tax code in the nation and that it is disproportionately burdening our working families who in many cases are barely getting by.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This budget isn\u2019t balanced on the back of the worker. \"\"<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

$350 million<\/strong> will strengthen our state\u2019s groundbreaking paid family leave program to help families spend more precious time together.<\/p>\n

$345 million<\/strong> to stabilize school districts that experienced enrollment declines because of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

$172 million<\/strong> to add nurses and counselors to schools to help us better meet the physical and socio-emotional needs of students.<\/p>\n

$100 million<\/strong> toward aggressively addressing workforce shortages and improving access to behavioral health services amongst our laborers.<\/p>\n

$95 million<\/strong> is going toward increasing access to lifelines for people across the state and prioritizing childcare, behavioral health services, child visitation, and in-home care.<\/p>\n

$75 million<\/strong> for the Farmers-to-Families Food Box Program to get fresh, healthy food to food banks across the state.<\/p>\n

The legislature has an opportunity to build a supplemental budget that recognizes the sacrifices schools, businesses, and communities have had to make the last two years. With smart planning over these last few tough years, we\u2019ve yielded a $6B dollar 2-year surplus that allows us the give back to Washingtonians. We achieved this through hard work and determination, and by leveraging one-time federal funds that allowed us to maximize our investments.<\/p>\n

Some of these numbers may change as the final budget is negotiated with the House over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Honored to Serve,<\/p>\n

Patty Kuderer<\/p>\n

State Senator<\/p>\n

48th District<\/p>\n
