KING County DEMS September Agenda Greetings from the Chair Fellow Democrats, September is the month of transition in our King County. As we move from the sunny months of summer to the falling leaves of autumn, we are reminded that change is a part of nature and in political life. I want us all to celebrate the changing of the guard in the 41st Legislative District by honoring the work of outgoing State Representative Marcie Maxwell and celebrating the future endeavors of her successor, Mercer Island City Council member, Tana Senn. Ms. Senn's overwhelming support by the PCOs in the 41st Tana Senn being sworn in at the is a testament to her impact she has on her local community and a reflection of the King County Council Meeting, quality elected officials from the citizenry of East King County. Photo by Al Garman Congratulations Representative Senn. This month, we are now transitioning from the primary election to the general - and Democratic Party supporters must now get out the vote. With less than six weeks before ballots are mailed, we must be reminded that the Republicans are now on the offensive. Our opponents want to ensure their kind of change by defeating our endorsed Democratic Party candidates at the polls. Most vulnerable are: Shari Song, Running for King County Council, Position 9 John Creighton, Port of Seattle, Position 1 Steve Kasner, for Bellevue City Council, and Richard Conlin for Seattle City Council. With the huge loss last November, Republicans and smaller parties are desperately looking for any means to grab the electorate's attention and bolster their predictable messages of anti-President Obama rhetoric and anti- revenue measures that will stall our State's economic growth. SepTEMBER 24, 2013 We must remember to support initiatives like the State's Transportation package and fully fund the State's education system with real revenue solutions. I call on Democrats to vote for our endorsed candidates, call your state senators and representatives to improve our state's education system and pass the transportation package. Both education and transportation solidifies Washington State's position in the international market place as the destination of choice for trade and global business. Economic development, economic prosperity for our country, economic equality, and economic justice is what our Democratic Party seeks. To do this, we must elect the candidates that represent our neighborhood values - our Democratic Party values. Lets Build. Lets Grow. Lets Win!!!!

  • SBE Legislative Strategy
    LEGISLATIVE SESSION PRIORITIES BACKGROUND SBE Visits to Legislature During the afternoon of January 13, Board members are encouraged to meet with their district legislators. Although SBE staff met with legislators often during session, these meetings have value because a message from a constituent always carries weight. SBE staff will provide the members with folders of information and handouts for the legislators. If you haven’t done so yet, please contact your legislators to schedule a 15 minute meeting to discuss the work of the Board. Your first meeting can begin at 2:00 p.m. Election Results and Committee Membership The 62nd Legislature will convene for 105 days beginning January 10 and will end April 24.The Democrats have retained a majority in the Senate: 27-22 and in the House 56-42, but have a slimmer majority than in the previous Legislature.1 The House has retained Representative Frank Chopp as the Speaker and the Senate has retained Senator Lisa Brown as the Majority leader. The new Senate Ways and Means Chair is Senator Ed Murray and the new House Ways and Means Chair is Representative Ross Hunter. The Education Committees have undergone major changes since last session. Senator Rosemary McAuliffe, 1st Legislative District, is remaining as the Chair of the Senate Early Learning and K-12 Education Committee; however, neither of the past vice chairs was reelected (Senator Oemig and Senator Kauffman) and a few other members retired. The House Education Committee membership has also changed because Representative Dave Quall, 40th Legislative District, who was the long time House Education Committee Chair, has retired and will be replaced by Representative Sharon Tomiko Santos, 37th Legislative District.

[email protected] / www.wa-acte.org Senate Committees House Committees Washington State Legislature Welcome to cutoff! Today all bills that are not passed out of their policy committee of origin by the end of the day today are “done” for the session and can only be reintroduced next year. We have three key bills that move the Washington ACTE / WAVA Legislative Focus forward that are poised to pass out of their committees today. Their status at the time of this writing follows: The status of getting HB 1656 - Establishing statewide high school graduation requirements that permit increased flexibility for students to select courses based on their interests and plans (Stonier) through the House Education Committee is the same as last week. Getting this bill to pass out of committee has been full of political maneuvering. If the bill does not come out of committee today it will be because the voices in support have lost to the power of the “ed reform” movement in our state. The argument seems to be that this will water-down the rigor and lower our expectations for all students.
