No Washingtonian who works more than 40 hours a week should still live in poverty. In fact, more than half of people in our state who earn the minimum wage are over 30 years old, and many support a family.

Here in Southwestern Washington, fairness matters. It’s only fair that women who do the same work as men should be paid the same.

State Rep. Lynda Wilson voted NO and it failed.

Without sick leave, people must make dangerous, difficult choices that impact the health and safety of our entire community. Nearly one million workers in Washington state – a third – don’t currently have earned sick leave.
State Rep. Lynda Wilson voted NO and it failed.
