Here's to bring everyone up to date on the current bills before the house & senate.
This doesn't mean you can or should quit writing your legislators!
I know some wonder whether or just believe it's a waste of time and won't bother writing their own reps, much less writing to others outside their district, but the legislator that sent this isn't even in my district. That proves to me it's worth the time & effort to contact as many reps as possible. This letter is one of a few others I've received from legislators that aren't in my district. Consider the info below with a cautionary mind. I also took the time to send a thank you back to her office.
Like she states;
"I offer the caveat that where I have noted a bill appears to be dead… these things have a nasty habit of springing back to life unexpectedly in the 11th hour, so I would encourage you to remain diligently engaged on the progress of these bills."

Thank you for your e-mail regarding the many anti-gun and anti-second amendment bills currently pending in the Washington Legislature.

SB 6307 (Liias) – Communicating mass violence threats.
Passed from Senate committee on 2/6. Should be in Senate Rules Committee next, one stop away from a floor vote.
There are so many of these bills in both chambers, it is possible I may have missed one or more. If there is a specific bill you were concerned about and I didn't include it in the list above, please let me know the bill number and I'd be happy to provide you a status update and contact information for the prime sponsor.
I offer the caveat that where I have noted a bill appears to be dead… these things have a nasty habit of springing back to life unexpectedly in the 11th hour, so I would encourage you to remain diligently engaged on the progress of these bills. As you likely know, I am opposed to each and every one of these bills and will continue to fight on your behalf. But please keep contacting the sponsors of these bills (their e-mail addresses are linked above) and let them know how you feel about them. You should also contact Governor Jay Inslee and Attorney General Bob Ferguson, as many of these bills were directly requested by them.
Yours in service,
