Statement: As our Senator, Annette Cleveland has delivered the results our community needs. A Vancouver native, Annette has over three decades of private and public sector experience, and has demonstrated a record of common sense, collaboration, and community driven service. With our support, she will continue to champion Vancouver's priorities - jobs, education, transportation, and affordable healthcare and housing - in Olympia.

Annette stands up for women and families, our children and seniors. Annette sponsored legislation to ensure equal pay for equal work. She helped cut through red tape to allow citizens to seek affordable, quality care anywhere in our region and established a taskforce to tackle the high out-of-pocket costs for prescriptions. Annette passed legislation to help abused children, worked to fight elder abuse and sponsored legislation to protect families from short-notice evictions.

Focused on Main Street - not Wall Street - Annette made transportation investments to reduce gridlock. Annette is working on an I-5 bridge replacement and helped pass landmark laws increasing safety standards for oil transport.

Annette is working to build a better future for our children and grandchildren. Let's keep Annette in the Senate as our voice in the legislature for a brighter future!
