I’m humbled and grateful to be selected by this community to be our voice in state government. Thank you for the support and for your confidence in me.

Please join us to knock doors for Michael Shepard on Saturday! Talking to voters before the election is one of the best ways to make a difference in our Democracy.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at our fundraiser in Bellingham on Monday! If you can’t make it, please consider supporting our campaign at www.alexramel.com/donate

Trump is threatening war crimes of horrific proportions. There is no other interpretation of “a whole civilization will die tonight.” This isn’t America. Congress must intervene to stop this madness.

Let’s stand together against the lawlessness, corruption, and destruction of Trump administration and his Republican allies. This Saturday there are protests in Bellingham, Anacortes, Mount Vernon, Burlington, Blaine, and on each island in San Juan County. Link for details. #NoKings www.nokings.org

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

This is such a great space, a loving place where people can heal together. I was proud to work with Debra Lekanoff and Liz Lovelett to support this investment in Skagit County’s behavioral health system. www.cascadiadaily.com/2026/mar/18/... #pnw #washington #bellingham #whatcomcounty #skagitvalley

War with Iran is needless, thoughtless, and illegal under international law and the US Constitution. Like previous wars of adventure, it will end badly for US interests after costing countless innocent lives, traumatizing communities, and further dividing our country. My heart is broken.

Tomorrow the House Finance Committee will vote on the Millionaires Tax. I’m excited to take this step forward. For the next hour I’ll be monitoring this channel and happy to answer questions. #AskWaleg

I hope you can join me and Liz Lovelett and Debra Lekanoff at our town hall meetings: in person in Mount Vernon this Saturday, or the following Wednesday evening by phone.

’ve now watched three videos of federal agents restraining, beating, and shooting Alex Pretti, a 37 year old ICU Nurse in Minnesota. This is horrifying and deeply saddening.

Ken Bell lost his re-election last November to Carley James. He came to her first meeting sitting in his old spot to express support and to congratulate her. Leadership and politics can look like this. www.instagram.com/reel/DTRMu5V... #washingtonstate #pnw #washington #bellingham #whatcomcounty

ICE and DHS are not making our communities safer. The direction of this administration is deliberately inflaming tension, frightening innocent people, and acting with lawless, deadly violence. The killing of Rene Nichole Good by ICE agents and the shooting yesterday in Portland are heartbreaking.

Boosting our economy while supporting local farmers is a win-win! Excited for our community to gain this resource! www.goskagit.com/news/busines... #washingtonstate #pnw #bellingham #whatcomcounty #skagitvalley

Early childhood education is some of the smartest money we can spend; kids who each kindergarten ready to learn see impacts that ripple through their whole lives. I’m excited to see this facility open up to help meet this need in Anacortes. www.goskagit.com/anacortes/it... #anacortes #washington

Saturday Oct 18th, I’ll be at the #NoKings protest in Bellingham. They want us to be afraid and isolated. Coming together and making our voices heard is empowering and hopeful. I hope to see you there. www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve... #nokingsprotest #NoKingsRally #bellingham #whatcomcounty #handsoff
