As you consider any additional COVID-19 economic relief packages, we, the undersigned elected leaders of Washington State, write to respectfully request significant investments in and attention to the challenges facing child care. Here in Washington State and across the country, the child care industry is providing critical services enabling medical professionals, first responders, and other essential workers to provide for communities in our time of greatest need. And yet, the infrastructure of this critical system is crumbling in front of us and threatening our ability to recover from COVID-19 now and in the future. According to Child Care Aware of Washington, our state has already lost 143 child care centers, 105 family child care homes, and 19 school-age-only child care programs to COVID-19 related closures -- totaling a loss of 12,000 child care slots.

  • May 10, 2021 Dear Governor Inslee, at This Time One Year Ago, You Had
    May 10, 2021 Dear Governor Inslee, At this time one year ago, you had just announced “Safe Start Washington,” the first of the phased approaches to reopening our state economy. Since then, Washington’s restaurants, bars and other hospitality establishments have demonstrated a strong commitment to following established safety protocols. Just this week, you publicly noted hospital stays are shortening and mortality rates are decreasing as the latest wave of the pandemic appears to be leveling out. We also have noted our state’s COVID-19 vaccination numbers are comparable if not better than those of most others. Yet Washington’s hospitality establishments, more than any other economic sector in our state, must contend with continued restrictions on their ability to serve customers. We see California is now poised to fully reopen its economy June 15, with Oregon intending to follow suit before the end of June. These are, with our state, the original members of the Western States Pact, which was formed with a shared vision of addressing COVID-19. We encourage you to now share the vision of Governors Newsom and Brown and decide that Washington, also, should fully reopen June 15. These establishments are operated by our constituents and are important to our local economies. By announcing an end to the phased reopening, not merely a pause, you would free them from the emotional rollercoaster that goes with the threat – or reality – of being forced back to tighter restrictions. They have endured enough and should be allowed to begin focusing on their recovery. We trust they will act responsibly if restrictions are lifted fully and believe you can do the same.

  • Seattle City Council Letter of Support
    Dear Seattle City Councilmembers Bagshaw, González, Herbold, Juarez, and Sawant, Together with the National Women's Political Caucus of Washington, we stand with you as you weather these sexist and disturbing attacks in response to a recent land use vote. Hate speech, personal threats, and misogyny have no place in our city, state, or any community. This week's reaction reminds us that sexism is alive and well, and we must recommit ourselves to stomp it out along with all other forms of oppression. Whether or not to build an arena is an ongoing public discussion, but the righteousness of misogynistic, hateful attacks on Seattle’s City Councilwomen is not up for debate. If anything positive can come from these attacks, let it be a redoubling of our efforts to unapologetically uplift women’s voices at the dais and beyond. In solidarity and sisterhood, National Women's Political Caucus of Washington and over 1,000 of your supporters below Diane Bedwell ∙ Noel Frame ∙ Bryan Yambe ∙ Hannah Mcleod ∙ Megan Knight ∙ Christine Tezak ∙ Sarah Schacht ∙ Marcia Reyes ∙ Reiny Cohen ∙ Heather Fralick ∙ Cathy Allen ∙ Antoinette Bonsignore ∙ Sarah Scott ∙ Kaitlyn Donahoe ∙ Lisa Mikesell ∙ Lauren Simonds ∙ Christopher Roberts ∙ Cara Schwartz ∙ Robin Hall ∙ Julie Stoltman ∙ Ina Percival ∙ Maggie Rich ∙ Molly Lawrence ∙ Lindsay Wolpa ∙ Alexandria Denny ∙ Anita Yandle ∙ Stephanie Heffner ∙ Megan Dunn ∙ Nicole Keenan ∙ Winona Rennick ∙ Emily Hiraki ∙ Samantha Casne ∙ Kari O'Driscoll ∙ Denise Lint ∙ Bill Dow ∙ Jessica Cafferty ∙ Danielle Wallace ∙ Karlene Rytkonen

  • Week 9 Report
    WEEK 9 REPORT ON 2021 SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE & WEEK 10 HEARINGS LIST For WRPA President, Executive Board, Executive Director, Legislative Committee Doug Levy – 3/15/2021 A major cutoff deadline – passed. A pivotal revenue forecast update – drawing closer. A federal bill providing major budget relief to Washington State – done. A further reopening of Washington State’s economy and core institutions – coming soon. That sounds some of the key notes for Week 9. The major cutoff was last Tuesday’s deadline for Senate bills to move off the Senate Floor and for House bills to move off the House Floor. Those that cleared the gauntlet now make their way to the “opposite chamber” for hearings and deliberation over the next two weeks. Those that did not are likely “dead” for the 2021 Session unless they are linked to budgets or can be amended onto still-alive bills. We are told the Senate and House ended up passing about 200 bills apiece off the Floor. While our attention has been hyper-focused on bills, the Operating, Capital, and Transportation budgets will move closer to the spotlight after the Economic and Revenue Forecast Council presents an update this coming Wednesday morning. We are told that for Operating Budget purposes, the Legislature is likely to have some $600 million in additional revenue to work with – if not more. The Legislature’s budget-balancing work got decidedly easier last Wednesday, when the U.S. House approved along party-lines the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (H.R. 1319). The rescue plan will provide Washington State with an infusion of $4.25 billion in COVID-19 relief funds – and the figure for all units of government tops $7 billion (including $1.4 billion for counties and $1.1 billion for cities).

  • 2020 State Legislative Elections Update and 2021 Session Context
    2020 State Legislative Elections Update and 2021 Session Context November 12, 2020 By Emily Murphy Strategies Budget Update: While the revenue forecast has improved since the most dire projections this Spring – shrinking the projected revenue shortfall from approximately $9 billion to now $2.7 billion for the 2021- 2023 biennium – by no means are we out of the woods. Due to the pandemic, state revenue collections are expected to fall nearly $4 billion short of the amount needed to sustain existing commitments to schools, health care, child care, and other essential investments for the next three years1. Revenue experts are also quick to note they are not epidemiologists, and there is no precedent in the modern era to account for a global pandemic on the economic forecasts, especially as we experience spikes in new COVID cases in the winter months, and some nations enter more restrictive lockdowns. The Office of Financial Management projects an estimated $2.4 billion in the Budget Stabilization Account (“Rainy Day Fund”) over the next 3 years. In June, the Office of Financial Management directed state agencies to propose 15% cuts as part of their budget reduction exercise, which amounted to nearly $2 billion in proposed cuts and elimination to services impacting hundreds of thousands of Washingtonians, ranging from maternity support, hospice care, nursing homes, higher education, early learning, housing, and many other programs. While state agencies and lawmakers are clear the budget reduction exercise was simply an exercise (cuts take an act of the legislature), it is a testament to the severity of the economic realities facing our state.
