Hi, it’s Senator Lisa Wellman. March is Women’s History Month, and today, I’m reflecting on the inspiring and history-making women of our Washington State Senate.
This Women’s History Month, please join me in celebrating my fellow female colleagues in our State Senate!
I am proud of the progress women have made for Washingtonians — especially the women who lead our senate as chairs of critically important committees. I personally have the honor of serving as the Chair of the Early Learning & K-12 Education Committee, and I am inspired by the work my colleagues and I have accomplished this year:
- We passed the Fair Start for Kids Act out of the Senate — much needed legislation that will increase the accessibility and affordability of childcare.
- We prioritized the needs of our students with large investments in education wrapped into our state’s COVID relief packages.
- We expanded transportation for our school districts so students can get the resources they need while learning remotely.
These wins are what make this work so meaningful. It’s been truly humbling to take on some of Washington’s biggest challenges this legislative session alongside the women who represent diverse communities across the state.
So today, celebrate Women’s History Month by recognizing the incredible women senators who keep our state moving:
