I’m honored to have been appointed your new State Senator after fifteen years of representing the 33rd District in the State House of Representatives. Now, I’m running to retain this seat and continue fighting for a future where every Washingtonian has the legal protections and resources needed to thrive.
As your Senator this session, I’ve partnered with our district’s many diverse communities to increase healthcare access and equity, expand protections for vulnerable students and adults, and help more people afford and stay in their homes. I hope to earn your support again this year and would love to hear from you.
In service,
Tina Orwall
