Dear friends and neighbors,<\/p>\n

The 2023 legislative session is little more than a month away, and I\u2019m excited to share with you some news about the issues I\u2019m going to be working on in the coming year. From making it easier to build affordable housing, to addressing the drug addiction crisis in our state, to ensuring that we have enough nurses in our health care system so that every patient can get high-quality care.<\/p>\n

First, though, I\u2019d like to share that my Democratic colleagues have chosen me to serve as the Senate lead on writing our state\u2019s capital construction budget. I\u2019m honored by their trust in me and I\u2019m excited about the opportunity to play such a pivotal role in our state\u2019s infrastructure investment plans.<\/p>\n

The infrastructure budget is massively important \u2013 it appropriates money across the state for school construction, building affordable housing and new health care facilities, making improvements and repairs to government infrastructure like parks and sewers, \u00a0and investing in our state\u2019s community and four year colleges. And these construction projects help create tens of thousands of good-paying jobs every year.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m looking forward to working with my colleagues in the Senate and House in the style that I work on every issue \u2013 with a collaborative, bipartisan approach towards finding investments that are fiscally responsible and make the biggest positive impact for our families and communities. Having spent the previous ten years helping out with our state\u2019s construction budget I feel like I\u2019m well prepared to be successful in my new role. It is also an excellent way to utilize both my background in finance and my current role as a small business owner.<\/p>\n

If you have any questions about this or other issues coming before the Legislature this year, feel free to contact me at any time at mark.mullet@leg.wa.gov<\/a>. I look forward to staying in touch with you.<\/p>\n

Take care and stay safe,<\/p>\n
