I wanted to reach out personally to share the news of a meaningful victory my team secured in federal court today. A judge granted my request to stop the sale of the National Archives building!
In coalition with tribes and community organizations, my office took action to protect the invaluable documents that hold the history of the Pacific Northwest — including treaties and records related to the internment of Japanese Americans and the Chinese Exclusion Act.
As you know, the federal government was attempting to rush the sale of our National Archives building and scatter invaluable, original historical records of our region thousands of miles away. Today’s ruling makes it clear that these documents, the DNA of our region, belong here.
On a personal note, this building is a special place in my family. My late father, Murray Ferguson, was a frequent visitor and sometimes took his children there. His love for our history inspired my own collection of political memorabilia.
I’m proud that our coalition took action to preserve these invaluable, original historical records of our region. I thank you for your support along the way in this case.
We have a number of important cases on the horizon and I want to make sure you and I continue to stay in close contact about this important work. Please follow me on Facebook [[link removed]] and Twitter [[link removed]] for the latest news and updates.
