the devastating fires

I just returned from another visit to Eastern Washington. The devastation from the fires is heartbreaking. I am working with federal, state, and local governments to help Washingtonians who have lost so much. I declared a statewide emergency, activated National Guard members to support firefighti…

Washington is moving on up

When I took office, Washington ranked 14th in CNBC's annual ranking of the best states for business. One year later, we've moved up three spots and are the 11th highest-ranked state in the country. That’s not all. New data from the United States Bureau of Economic Analysis shows that Washingto…

Sending a Powerful Message

Tonight is our July deadline — and we're just 1,300 donations away from 20,000 individual contributions to our campaign. As your Governor, I focus on Washingtonians – from improving our economy to addressing the affordability crisis. I center the people in everything I do. That's why I am the onl…

closing the gap

We have just hours left before tonight's July deadline. While Trump wages war on our values, Bob is fighting back every single day. That work doesn't stop. But neither do MAGA Republicans like Washington GOP chair Jim Walsh who is already organizing for 2028. Bob is the only Governor in the…

what this milestone means:

One day left until our July deadline. At the start of the month, I was 4,000 donations away from hitting 20,000 total — a milestone that shows what's possible when a campaign runs on individual supporters instead of corporate checks. We need just 1,500 donations to reach this goal. I am the…

We are 1,500 donations away from hitting 20,000 total — and our July deadline is tomorrow. Bob is the only Governor in the country who doesn't accept donations from large corporations or corporate PACs. That means every donation comes from supporters like you. Will you chip in $10 before the d…

Before the weekend

Before you head out for the weekend, I wanted to send you a quick message. It doesn’t come as a surprise that MAGA Republicans are already organizing to take this seat in 2028. But I won’t focus on them — I’ll keep focusing on what Washington needs and what I can do to help. That’s why I’ve…

Friends, Washington's Supreme Court plays a vital role in protecting our Constitution, safeguarding individual rights, and ensuring that justice is applied fairly to everyone. That's why electing highly qualified, independent Justices matters. I'm proud to support four exceptional candidates f…

A Milestone

Bob is the only Governor in the country who doesn’t accept donations from large corporations or corporate PACs. That’s why we’re so excited we’re just 3,100 contributions away from reaching a major milestone for Bob’s campaign – 20,000 total individual contributions. Hitting that mark means on 20…

Tonight is our June deadline and we still need $1,947 before midnight. Every day, my administration is taking action to protect Washingtonians from harmful policies coming out of Washington, D.C. That work doesn't stop. Consequently, neither can this campaign. I’m the only Governor in the coun…

Tomorrow is our June deadline. Here’s why I need your help: Washington Republican Party Chair Jim Walsh went public with his preparations to run for governor in 2028. You can bet he'll have no problem taking money from large corporations and corporate PACs to fund that run. I am the only Gover…

Let’s make sure our kids can learn in school – math not memes

I just announced a top legislative priority for the next session: banning cell phones in schools statewide. 95% of teenagers have smartphones — and 97% of them use them during school. On average, teenagers spend roughly a quarter of their school day on their phones. That's more than 41 instructio…

Not there yet.

Tonight is our May deadline. We need to hit 1,500 donations for the month before midnight — and we're not there yet. While Trump does everything he can to hurt Washington, I've spent this month fighting back by protecting access to Mifepristone, a safe and effective pill used for abortion ca…

re: Millionaire’s Tax

I recently signed the Millionaire's Tax into law. It taxes income over $1 million — and puts that revenue directly back into the pockets of Washingtonians: Here's what that means: 1. Free breakfast and lunch for every K-12 student 2. The largest small business tax cut in state history 3. No more…

Protecting our rights

Access to Mifepristone is under attack across the country — and Washington is ready. I recently signed legislation making it easier for providers to access our state's stockpile of Mifepristone by removing barriers that were getting in the way. We have 17,600 doses on hand, and now they'll be eas…

This is unacceptable.

This is unacceptable. The GEO Group runs a private immigration detention facility in Tacoma. Detainees have filed more than 3,500 complaints describing contaminated food, dirty water, denied medical care, and assault by staff. Washington law gives us the authority to inspect that facility. But…
