Dear neighbors, We have officially ended the 2022 legislative session and I am proud to report we made tremendous strides for everyday working Washingtonians. This year we adjourned on time for the fifth year in a row, a record not held by any legislature since 1899. That’s good government. Additional days, special sessions, cost the state millions of dollars. This exemplifies our commitment to serving Washington’s workers and families and not wasting their money. Scroll below for a quick a digest of this legislative session’s key impacts. While we still have more work to do, I am proud of the investments and the impactful public policy we enacted to #PutPeopleFirst.
