Great study on sustaining community based partnerships and being more than just shared resources but mechanisms for change.

This is great to see people calling out the struggles that low income individuals and families face every day. Let’s build a society that makes it easier to overcome those pressures.

Quite the line up at Seatac today. Big boy brining up the rear! @jetcitystar

Rut is amazing! Love to see her jumping into the race to make a difference in local politics! Workforce Development often is viewed as a state or national issue, when in reality its the local focus that gets stuff done!

SEATTLE HAS ELIMINATED THE DEFENDING CHAMPIONS 🤯

This is a brilliant thread on an insightful study. Economic inequities are rising post Covid. The “mental tax” on low income households trying to optimize every dollar is something we see every day @SJIopeningdoors with our participants.

Great day on the hill talking Snap E&T policy with the super smart SJI consulting team. Thanks to @RepKimSchrier @RepDelBene @RepMGP for the great conversations on how to break the cycle of poverty in our communities

Need help with your taxes? Our partners @N__LAN is having a workshop. Let’s get it ✊🏿✊🏾

I recently introduced a bipartisan bill to help increase health care access in rural areas. The 8th District is ~10,000 sq miles. Many people need to drive a distance to receive care. We need to ensure there are doctors in rural areas to provide that care.

Ribbon cutting for the new @housing_hope community Twin Lakes Landing II. Congrats to new CEO Donna Moulton and retiring CEO Fred Safstrom. Great to see @RepDelBene joining a standing room only crowd despite the morning snow.

Our next office hours will be at the Duvall Library on Thursday, February 23rd. If you're struggling w/things like getting your tax refund, Social Security & Veterans benefits, or need an expedited passport, we may be able to help. I hope you'll stop by! More to be announced soon

The power of public-private partnerships took center stage in Portland, Maine today. Deputy Under Secretary, Stacy Dean, praised Maine for its approach to growing the economy and restoring individuals’ career pathways through SNAP E&T. “Maine is a model for the nation.”

Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft have collectively incurred $10 billion in expenses related to their massive job culls and cost cutting, while in return receiving $800 billion to their market caps as a reward from Wall Street. Totally ridiculous system. https://t.co/15h5j8RLqk
