If you need an abortion or gender affirmation care & it’s no longer legal in your home state, Washington is a safe place for you. We strengthened our commitment moments ago by passing the Shield Law off the Senate floor & sending it to the Governor for signature. 💜💜💜

Colleague-to-colleague elbow-bump with Senate Republican Leader Sen. Braun, a partner in #advocacy with our neighbors with #disabilities — cuz investing in resources for Washingtonians with disabilities is not a partisan issue. #WaLeg #DD #PeopleFirst

SIGNED: SB 5068 — extending postpartum Medicaid coverage for new birth parents from 60 days to 365 days. This lifesaving coverage will help close gaps in health outcomes. Esp as we round out #BlackMaternalHealthWeek , I’m celebrating this win for health #equity !

I’m proud to serve my community every day. Especially this legislative session–we invested in infrastructure, schools & students, working families & community housing solutions, we strengthened #reproductiverights in this WA, & passed 95% of bills with #bipartisan support. 1/

Feeling lucky 🍀 to live in a state that protects all patients' access to the reproductive care they need. Our #AffirmWAAbortionAccess Act became law today. Proud to sponsor & amplify our communities' commitment to safe and accessible healthcare. 💯 #WaLeg
