Our mission for the remainder of the session is focused on passing legislation that protects access and quality of healthcare. However, members are mobilizing in the 5th Legislative District to attend February, 17th District Town Hall to hold Mark Mullet accountable to the people that he wants to represent as Governor of Washington and make sure that he is not elected to the highest office of our State where he can further hold back progressive policy.
