WSDCC – July 21, 2025

We’re facing bad news story after bad news story. So let’s focus on the good today.

Despite it all, Washington State Democrats are standing strong, delivering real solutions that protect our families, defend our values, and fight for the future of our state.

Here’s what Washington State Democrats have been up to: 

✅ Medical debt will no longer ruin credit scores.

Thanks to leadership right here at home, a new law will wipe medical debt from credit reports, helping thousands of people across our state breathe a little easier. Senate Bill 5480, sponsored by Sen. Marcus Riccelli and taking effect later this month, will stop collection agencies from reporting overdue medical debt. No one should be punished for getting the care they need.

✅We’re fighting to protect kids’ mental health.

After the tragedy in Uvalde, Congress funded school-based mental health programs. Now the Department of Education is slashing those funds, and putting vulnerable students at risk. Attorney General Nick Brown is suing to stop it. Because our kids deserve support, not more setbacks.

✅WA Democrats are standing up to Trump.

In Congress, Washington State Democrats are standing up for Washingtonians everyday. Senator Patty Murray is exposing Trump’s backdoor abortion ban buried in the latest budget—and fighting to protect reproductive freedom. Rep. Pramila Jayapal is taking on Trump and his allies over cruel ICE deportations that rip families apart.

This is the fight we’re in, for healthcare, for our kids, for women’s rights, and for immigrant families. We’re leading the charge, and won’t slow down now. Will you stand with Washington State Democrats today?

If we don’t fight back now, we’re looking at a future where basic rights are reserved for the wealthy, leaving the rest of us to fend for ourselves.

Let’s stop this before it’s too late,

—Chair Shasti Conrad
