What do you want to know?.

President Trump seems to think he can lead a federal takeover of state elections. Be assured that the U.S. Constitution assigns the administration of elections to states, and no executive order from this president or any other will end our proven practice.

President Trump has again falsely claimed the use of mail-in ballots leads to crooked elections. Washington’s vote-by-mail system for administering elections is secure, accessible, and transparent.

One child in five is unsure where they will get their next meal. Reading just 20 minutes a day for a child promotes healthy brain development and family bonding. This drive for food and books is as important as ever. Great work, Combined Fund Drive team.

Secretary of State Steve Hobbs. noted that more than 250,000 legitimate ballots—postmarked on or before 2024’s General Election day—were received in the days following the election. “Had this rule been in effect, those voices would have been silenced.".

RT @secstatewa: Woo!! Congratulations to all the winners and honorable mentions 🥳 #2024Clearies.

The Washington Talking Book & Braille Library is a statewide resource that serves those who can't read standard print in a way no other library does. Cuts to WTBBL, the Central Library, libraries in state prisons & hospitals, and library development team would be devastating.

.@thecolumbian: 'Washington received its written notice of grant termination effective April 1. 'The way Hobbs sees it, the scrapping of the multi-million-dollar, library-supporting grant. will lead to “devastating consequences,” particularly for rural and small institutions.'.

New in @thecolumbian: Hobbs was especially blunt in a video posted a couple days prior that also takes aim at the IMLS grant cancellation. “If last week was a s*** show,” Hobbs said in that reel, “this week was a four-alarm dumpster fire — filled with burning s***.”.

Libraries ensure people have access to information at library locations across Washington. This commitment is rooted in the fundamental principle that an educated and informed citizenry is critical to a free society. That goal is not a partisan issue.
