The Washington State Fair is run by partisan hacks and political cowards. They banned the Pierce County GOP booth after years of participation but kept the Democrats. They can’t handle free speech, so they censor like the petty, corrupt losers they are.

WA Dems call it a “wealth tax,” but it’s really an unrealized capital gains tax—a backdoor income tax. It forces people to pay taxes on investments before they sell. If the market crashes, the state keeps the money. This reckless tax kills jobs and drives businesses out of WA.

WA drivers pay ~50 cents more per gallon thanks to Democrats climate scheme. Now millions of dollars are funding radical environmental activists through the HEAL Act. Instead of fixing roads, or cutting spending or taxes, Democrats are bankrolling their activist allies with your

WA Democrats want to replace the 1% property tax cap with automatic hikes based on inflation and population. That means skyrocketing taxes with no voter approval, crushing homeowners, renters, and small businesses while making WA even more unaffordable.

Tariffs aren’t affecting my small business, we manufacture custom cabinetry right here in Washington. What’s hurting us is Democrat tax increases. Everything we create is made and sourced in the Pacific Northwest with American labor. If anything I’m more competitive because I

WA Dems proposal to automatically raise property taxes based upon inflation+population (without any cap or voter approval) will be the most devastating tax increase in WA State history. It’ll force seniors and lower income people out of their homes and onto the streets. Early

Jay Inslee 975 days of emergency powers and mandates, the left doesn’t blink an eye. Trump enforces the law and they push “No KiNgS” riots. Grandma dying behind glass in a nursing home < them protecting illegal child rapists

Hold up a second… WA Senate Democrats saw Chris Hansen on NBC catching sex predators who target children and thought, ‘poor sex predators, we should drop SB 5312 to reduce penalties for them’?! Testimony even went so far as to say law enforcement were the real criminals in

Business in WA is harsh. A small business owner myself I know all too well. After the largest tax increases in state history and loads of new radical policies, I’m seeing more and more sad announcements like this. The legislature must step back from the ledge, this is

New WA budget drops: taxes on fishing, hunting, bottles, packaging, Zyn, and even VACATIONS?? They really said: kill fun, punish the poors, and call it equity.

Let me be even clearer: if Washingtonians lose healthcare it will be due to the $782M in cuts to low income and Washingtonians that Bob Ferguson and Democrats signed into law. The LARGEST Medicaid cut in state history. LONG BEFORE the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ was ever proposed.

Let me be very clear: that is at least 80,000 more Washingtonians who will lose health coverage, in addition to the 250,000 Washingtonians we already expect to lose coverage because of Medicaid cuts.
