Happy Disability Pride Month! As July comes to an end, let’s take one more opportunity to celebrate the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act, 36 years ago, which protected people with disabilities from discrimination. 🧵(1/2)

As a proud member of the DNC’s Rules & Bylaws committee, I have been proud to be a part of helping to build one of the most inclusive and diverse primary calendars we have ever had! 🧵(1/3)

I voted! It took me less that 5 mins to complete and mail in my ballot. I'm so proud to live in a state that makes voting accessible and convenient for voters. Get your Primary Election ballots in by Tuesday, August 4th at 8pm.

Happy 250th birthday, America! On this milestone for our democracy, we must remember that we always have the right and the power to choose a better path for ourselves. Our democracy was a hard-fought victory. Let us work together to keep it alive.

This week, the millionaires tax became law in Washington State. 9.9% tax on income over 1 million dollars, to be used to fund education, childcare, and working class tax credit. Thank you to Governor Ferguson and our Democratic legislators for getting this done and delivering for Washingtonians!

Thank you, Virginia Voters! This is a major step in fighting back against Republicans' shady and shameful attempts to rig the midterms. Huge kudos to the organizers in Virginia and beyond that helped with this major win!

I'm horrified by the news coming out of Utah about the attack on Charlie Kirk. Political violence has no place in our country. Not now, and not ever. Praying for him and his family.

Last night was one for the books! I was in beautiful Poulsbo, WA, to speak at the 23rd LD Dems Salmon Dinner. I spoke about our Party’s fight to defend our country against fascism. It was also an evening of community, fun, and joy!
