Rep. Ruth Kagi

Rep. Kagi speaks on the House floor about how marriage equality protects children and families:

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my website. Here you will find contact information, news, videos and more as we continue through the 2011-13 biennium.

These are challenging times for the families of the 32nd District and the rest of Washington as the damage from the worldwide recession continues to take its toll. Resources are stretched thin everywhere, and we’re learning to make do with less, including in state government and the services it provides.

In my role as the chair of the Early Learning & Human Services Committee, I want to make sure our young people have the resources and education they need to succeed in life. And as a member of the state budget-writing Ways & Means Committee, I will be working hard to prioritize our limited resources while not losing sight of those people who rely on essential, safety-net services. If you ever have any suggestions, concerns or reactions to state issues, I encourage you to contact me. Communication is critical to the success of the legislative process.

Sincerely,

Rep. Ruth Kagi
