We know the risks associated with tobacco and nicotine. It is easier to prevent our children from becoming addicted in the first place than to treat the addiction later, or even worse, treat the cancers and diseases caused by smoking. #waleg #Tobacco21

95 percent of smokers start before the age of 21. Today WA joins the growing number of states and 400+ cities that recognize the opportunity to save lives by raising the age for purchasing tobacco and vaping products to 21. The #Tobacco21 law WILL save lives. #waleg twitter.com/WAStateGov/sta…

Today, at the Gift of Life Awards, I was privileged to stand with families of 112 Washington organ donors who saved more lives than ever before in 2018. 1,683 Washingtonians are waiting for an organ transplant - you can become an organ donor online at lcnw.org. pic.twitter.com/8xz7GdFcC1

Despite snow in many parts of the state, #climatechange means that we will continue to see lower water supplies across Washington and we need to plan now for the impact. #WADrought

Today I declared a drought emergency in the Methow, Okanogan and Upper Yakima watersheds. We must take steps to ensure that Washingtonians have the water they need to sustain their farms and livestock. #WADrought

I had a wonderful time speaking at @WSUPullman today about WA's transition to #cleanenergy and celebrating students who registered thousands of their peers to #vote in 2018. Spending the morning with these bright, forward-thinking students gives me hope for our future. #GoCougs! pic.twitter.com/UwIMEatgeC

Today I was honored to sign Brennen's law, giving patients access to #behavioralhealth services in a more timely manner. Brennen took his own life while waiting too long for help. With this law, we can start to ensure other families don't have the same tragic experience. #waleg pic.twitter.com/GePrct7Ugz

Washington state has the opportunity to become an important model for other states to emulate when it comes to #cleanenergy and its public health and economic benefits. This morning I'll be at the @foleyinstitute to talk about our state's transition to a carbon-free future. twitter.com/WAStateGov/sta…

We’ve started a paid family leave program offering some of the most progressive benefits in the nation to all WA workers — regardless of their employer. Closing the #wagegap is complex, but we're up to the challenge. We have a lot more work to do, but we're doing it. #EqualPayDay

WA is ranked the best place to work partly because we have rules to ensure #equalpay, accommodations for pregnant workers, sexual harassment protections and laws prohibiting pay secrecy in the workplace. We also have strong unions that raise the bar for all workers. #EqualPayDay

Today marks #EqualPayDay, symbolizing how far into the year women have to work to catch up to the earnings of men from the previous year. And women of color have it worse — nationally they’ll need to work several more weeks or even months to achieve equal pay. #wagegap

The opioid crisis has played a major role in raising the number homeless families in WA. This federal grant provides $887,000 to help homeless Washingtonians affected by opioids. Thanks @ESDwaWorks, PacMtn and local leaders for making this work possible.

I'm happy to see our #cleanenergy bills moving closer to the finish line. Congratulations to Rep. @gaeltarleton for leading SB 5116 through the House finance committee this morning. We’re one step closer to securing #100percentclean electricity for WA state. #waleg

There is so much at stake in the #2020Census count. We must be ready, proactive and prepared to make sure every Washingtonian is counted in every part of our state. #CompleteCount2020

It’s more than just disappointing. It is irresponsible. We need an administration that believes in the science of both gravity and climate change. We need a national mobilization to drive innovation across every sector of our economy. #ActOnClimate #USleg #climatechange

Unfortunately, the Trump administration isn’t just failing to act — they are setting the fire. They're rolling back the #CleanPowerPlan in a massive giveaway to polluters, attacking fuel economy and clean car standards, cutting renewable energy by more than $2 billion and more.

There are more jobs in fighting #climatechange than denying it. We are growing clean energy jobs by the bucketful, in communities urban, suburban and rural. It’s time for the federal government to embrace those jobs. #ActOnClimate

I’m proud of everything we’ve done in WA state — and in states across the country — to start defeating #climatechange. We're leading the charge to build strong, low-carbon economies. But without leadership from the federal government, we won’t be able to do enough fast enough. pic.twitter.com/IcToXHPB97

I’m just about to deliver an important message to the U.S. House: Bipartisan governors and mayors from across the country are still all in on climate, but we need Congress to get back in the game if we’re going to beat this threat. #ActOnClimate #USleg

It removes state flexibility, rips away food assistance from 755,000 vulnerable Americans, worsens our homelessness crisis and fails to achieve the Trump administration’s stated goal of improving self-sufficiency. It is a cruel policy that damages people and businesses alike.
