800,000 people who have healthcare coverage in WA state are at risk if the Affordable Care Act is struck down. The #ACA has saved lives, strengthened consumer and patient protections for everyone, and is keeping costs from growing unabated. #ProtectOurCare https://t.co/qmnIgI3ZdU — PolitiTweet.org

When we invest in salmon recovery, it’s not just salmon that we’re saving. This funding also preserves our PNW legacy, our way of life, our jobs, our neighborhoods and our communities. Whether you live near, love to play in, or simply care about #PugetSound, this is a win for WA. — PolitiTweet.org

Just out from WA Dept. of Licensing: “Our DOL has implemented strict standards to ensure data is not released to any law enforcement entity for immigration purposes or without a judicial court order or subpoena. There is no external access to the Facial Recognition System." — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to the @USWNT for this incredible victory. You’re an inspiration to all of us. Go #TeamUSA! #WomensWorldCup2019 — PolitiTweet.org

The Wilson Way Bridge and Dune Peninsula at Point Defiance is possible because so many partners committed to transforming an old polluted smelter site into a community treasure. Thanks to @EPA @EcologyWA @CityofTacoma and the many others who helped with this decades-long effort. https://t.co/IcyNl8Wrsw — PolitiTweet.org

Hillside slides, beautiful trails and remarkable views! Congratulations to @metparkstacoma for opening an incredible new jewel for WA’s south sound region. https://t.co/efpv7X9Uyy — PolitiTweet.org

This year we passed the Workforce Education Investment Act to ease the financial burden of education for students & grow career-connected learning in WA. Tuesday I joined @ResultsWA to hear how we can better connect students with great career jobs. #waleg https://t.co/OHfAqljjhb — PolitiTweet.org

But the Declaration of Independence is more than sentiment, it’s something we must work to uphold. For me, #IndependenceDay is a day that I recommit to finding & removing barriers until all Washingtonians have an equitable opportunity for life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Trudi and I wish everyone a fun, safe holiday celebrating with family and friends this #4thofJuly. The sentiment of the Declaration of Independence is as important today as it was in 1776, that all people are created equal and should be treated as such in our nation. — PolitiTweet.org

I love WA's outdoors, and I want my grandkids to get to the chance to love & want to protect them too. At a time when public lands are more and more at risk of being developed — or lost altogether — these grants support our outdoor spaces for current and future generations. #PNW — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Just announced: $126 M in grants for WA's outdoors. Not only do these grants support our state’s parks, forests & farms, but they also fuel a powerful outdoor recreation economy that puts about 200,000 Washingtonians to work and generates more than $26 B in spending every year. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Even the Trump administration knew they were on the losing side of this effort. And while this victory helps ensure that each Washingtonian is counted, we know our work continues. That’s why we remain committed to ensuring a #CompleteCount2020 in WA state. https://t.co/cgV6ur2zOn — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

The Trump administration made the right decision today to drop efforts to add a new citizenship question to the 2020 census. As the Supreme Court recognized last week, the administration has not shown any compelling reason for adding this question at the last minute. https://t.co/Q1VbE8aZsn — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Welcome Gov. Bullock & Montana to the @USClimate Alliance. I echo what you said in your announcement, now IS the time to roll up our sleeves & work together on solutions. With over half the US now collaborating on #climatechange, I know we can do this. https://t.co/k6rbdTSWB7 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Congratulations to both Sen. Derek Stanford and Rep. Davina Duerr for your new appointments in the #waleg. I look forward to collaborating with both of you as we work to make our state better for all Washingtonians. @WASenDemocrats @WAHouseDems — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Laws raising the purchase age for semiautomatic weapons, banning ghost guns, & requiring safe storage are now in effect. Thanks to #waleg, community advocates & law enforcement leaders who have been part of our ongoing effort to reduce gun violence in WA. https://t.co/rocKlYEIGD — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Happy #CanadaDay to my friend Premier @jjhorgan and all of our neighbors to the north. Like this project just completed at the Peace Arch, our common commitment to a shared future inspires us to work together to tackle problems both big and small. https://t.co/h3TxlYF8mm — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Our state’s natural wonders are a big part of what makes WA so special. In recognition of this, I’m joining with @WDFW to proclaim today Appreciation Day for Washington’s Fish and Wildlife. Thanks for 25 years of working to provide quality habitat for all of WA’s native species. https://t.co/kwFnELoYjs — PolitiTweet.org

Marilynn, one of the students I met, is finishing her residency before heading to work in Grand Coulee's Family Medicine Clinic. Providing more services, especially in underserved & rural areas, is crucial ⁠— & why we’re building the nation’s largest psychiatric program at UW. https://t.co/bl6bWPFhGo — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

This year #waleg & I funded @UWMedicine to develop a first-in-the-nation #behavioralhealth teaching hospital. Along with helping WA treat more people who need psychiatric care, they'll implement a cutting-edge curriculum to train more much-needed behavioral health professionals. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Today I toured UW Medical Center & met with patients, students & the incredible team of medical professionals at @UWMedicine. They’re helping us transform WA's mental and behavioral health care as we build a community-based system to help more patients get care closer to home. https://t.co/jMFxFkAHeZ — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

When I visited the Spokane Resource Center last month, I saw their innovative approach and how they are building creative partnerships to address the needs of those working to escape the cycle of poverty. This grant will fund sustainable programs to serve these communities. https://t.co/RRZkAA3OkK — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Congratulations to Spokane Resource Center and @WDCSpokane for winning our Economic Security for All grant. This $1.7 M will make a tremendous difference for the families and communities you serve. https://t.co/roWaZydu8i — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Pride! Today across WA & the nation LGBTQ+ communities and their allies are celebrating Pride. In our state, we are proud to be a leader in protecting the rights of LGBTQ+ communities, and we will continue to fight for liberty and equality for all. #PrideMonth2019 🏳️‍🌈 https://t.co/KvYlSN8VPG — PolitiTweet.org

Trudi and I send our deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Jim Richards. As longtime communications director for the @WAHouseDems, Jim was incredibly respected and well liked. He will be missed. #waleg — PolitiTweet.org

@50StateNews In WA we’re working collaboratively across public and private sectors to address this scourge. It has touched my family and I know it has touched so many lives across our state. I hope you will join me in this fight against Alzheimer’s and other dementias. #UnitedAgainstDementia — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

June is Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month in WA. I'm in the fight against Alzheimer’s because I am committed to improving the lives of the 22 million people and family caregivers living with this disease across the country. #UnitedAgainstDementia @50statenews https://t.co/CJY5CrriJQ — PolitiTweet.org

While the distribution of wealth in the US has changed dramatically, the number of salaried workers eligible for overtime protections has plummeted. Today, only 7% of salaried workers are compensated for working 40+ hours a week, yet almost half of workers work 45+ hours weekly. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

WA state is proud to be a leader on workers' overtime rights. The 40-hour work week has been a foundation of our social contract, yet for many workers in our economy, it’s not true. The erosion of these protections since the '70s has been an egregious assault on the middle class. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Our aggressive effort to ensure a #CompleteCount2020 will continue in WA. We will not let Trump use this fight to discourage people from participating, causing profound political & fiscal implications for the next decade. We are committed to counting each and every Washingtonian. — PolitiTweet.org
