Stronger Families. Stronger Communities. Stronger Washington

This week, I had the pleasure of giving opening remarks at the Washington State Building and Construction Trades Council convention in Ridgefield at ilani and welcome hundreds of skilled workers, affiliates, and guests from across Washington state.

I highlighted worker safety, affordability, workforce development and apprenticeship, and initiatives to address mental health.

Thank you to all the organizers and supporters!!
