Dear Friends,

As we enter the final weeks of the 2025 legislative session, we’ll be working late into the evenings voting on bills and negotiating the various budgets (operating, transportation, and capital). This past Saturday the Senate adopted the majority party’s $78.5 billion proposal, funded with over $20 billion in new taxes, the largest increase in state history.

Click here to watch my remarks and why I voted against that proposal.

It is simply unsustainable, and no secret how we got here. As the Seattle Times noted,

“Lawmakers overspent and overestimated revenues through 2024, the result of ignoring state economists’ forecasted warnings of reduced tax collections.”

Your input is critical as I work to represent our district. I gained valuable feedback at our in-person town halls last week and want to invite you to a final virtual town hall to discuss where we are in the session and what I’m working on for you.

Please join me on April 8, and tell your friends and neighbors!

Tuesday, April 8
⏰ 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM

Regards,

Sen. Phil Fortunato
31st Legislative District
