  • 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.
