Trudi and I send our deepest condolences to the family of Officer Jackson. Our hearts go out to the Bellevue PD and all who worked with him.
Quote Tweet
Many have asked where they can pay their respects to Ofc. Jordan Jackson. This memorial is set up at Bellevue City Hall (450 110th Ave NE) on the second level outside the police lobby. Thank you all for your kind words and support through this incredibly difficult time.

Small businesses are the heart of our economy. Often, a little bit of technical assistance from a trusted adviser can make the biggest difference. Thanks to for helping provide entrepreneurs among WA’s diverse and rural communities the lift they need to succeed.

In a @seattletimes op-ed, @WAComDirector expanded on Commerce's recently released Technical Assistance study and the real-life needs of the more than 600,000 small businesses in Washington. bit.ly/3hV0CIN

Washington will remember, too. Our hearts are with the victims’ loved ones and the LGBTQ community in Colorado Springs and beyond. We also lift up the bravery of the two patrons who took the gunman down. Their actions saved lives.
We can’t let hate win.

Great news for our transportation decarbonization efforts. WA has already adopted the Advanced Clean Truck rule; we’re just awaiting approval which will allow states like WA and CA to move forward. States are in, the U.S. is in, consumers and manufacturers are in… let’s go!

NEW: The U.S. has signed an international agreement with 16 other countries at #COP27 to work towards a shared vision of 100% new zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicle sales by 2040. We have to work together across oceans and borders to meet our clean energy goals.

We will miss working with Premier . If I had to pick an executive to serve as a model of leadership, it would be John. We wish him well and hope he has more time to watch the win.
Quote Tweet
It's been the honour of my life to serve as Premier of BC. I've tried my level best to make a positive difference in people's lives.
I'm looking forward to spending more time with Ellie, serving as an MLA, and going back to being John from Langford.
Thank you, for everything.

Nancy Pelosi’s two decades in congressional leadership distinguished her as a generational force in American politics. Her mastery of legislative politics made her a steadying presence in times of chaos. The American people will miss her contributions.

A long overdue step forward for love and equality. #RespectforMarriageAct
Quote Tweet
Love is love and Americans should have the right to marry the person they love. Today’s bipartisan Senate vote gets us closer to protecting that right.
The Respect for Marriage Act protects all couples under law – I urge Congress to send the bill to my desk so I can make it law.

It’s also a chance to learn how a wide array of countries are responding to climate. I spoke with Niger’s Dr. Kamaye Maazou, Australia’s Assistant Secretary Kushla Munro, and Dhaka Mayor Atiqul Islam, just to name a few.

A just transition towards climate and energy independence is imperative. I’m proud our state has joined as we urge leaders to speed efforts to keep oil and gas in the ground. #COP27
Quote Tweet
At #COP27 @GovInslee announced WA’s membership to the @beyondoilgas Alliance. WA policies such as zero emission vehicles by 2035, cap and invest, and clean building codes will drive down demand for gas and oil so it can stay in the ground. Full video: youtu.be/XGUgygpCc2k
