AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Election Results: Washington Democrats expanded their legislative majorities as voters kept the millionaires tax and approved a transit tax increase in Seattle. Voters also passed Initiative 638, restricting transgender girls’ participation in school girls’ sports; a parental-rights measure trailed. Close Races: Rep. Michael Baumgartner holds a narrow lead over Carmela Conroy in Eastern Washington’s 5th District, with ballots still being counted. Historic Win: Jaelynn Scott won the 37th District House seat, becoming Washington’s first openly transgender legislator. Seattle Budget: City Council members are weighing $55.5 million in additions to Mayor Katie Wilson’s budget proposal despite a projected $175 million general-fund gap. Spokane Tragedy: A Spokane County deputy died after a domestic-violence shooting near Spangle; a second deputy was not expected to survive.
