Rep. Steve Tharinger is running for re-election to the 24th Legislative District in House Position 2. Since 2010, Tharinger has been a progressive leader for the district, passionate about providing affordable health care options to all Washingtonians and unwavering in his advocacy for innovative policies that protect the environment.
This year, Tharinger sponsored bills to keep our communities safe by restricting ghost guns and prohibiting firearms in school board meetings. He also passed legislation to expand the paid family and medical leave program and increase youth access to behavioral health care.
Tharinger's opponent is Republican Brian Pruiett, who is making a second attempt to unseat Rep. Tharinger. Much of his platform is just rants about the governor and Democrats using an endless stream of Republican talking points. Some of his more absurd policies include producing a "polite society" by arming more people and rolling back police accountability. His plans to address homelessness and people struggling to afford rent include the helpful statement, "don't be underemployed." Notably, he also opposes increasing funding for public schools to ensure our kids have everything they need to succeed.
Like many Republicans running this year, Pruiett is trying to divide and scare on crime instead of providing our communities the care, security, and support we need. Our communities are safe when everyone, no matter what they look like or what zip code they're in, has opportunities for affordable health care, a great education, and fair wages.
Steve Tharinger's experience and ability to pass solid health and environmental protections make him the best choice in this race.Steve Tharinger

Debido a una iniciativa de Tim Eyman, la Legislatura está obligada a presentar cualquier proyecto de ley que apruebe que cierre las lagunas fiscales o aumente los ingresos a un voto consultivo no vinculante. La Legislatura tuvo una sesión históricamente productiva en 2021, lo que resultó en varios votos consultivos que aparecieron en la boleta. Esperamos que la Legislatura cambie la ley para eliminar estas medidas sin sentido en el futuro.
