I’m Senator Bonnie Westlin, and I’m running for re-election to continue to represent Plymouth, Maple Grove, and Medicine Lake in the State Senate. I have worked hard for our community, securing critical funding for all three cities in my district. I authored the largest increase in special education funding in our state’s history, and passed laws to improve our elections, provide greater transparency in campaign finance, and support our democracy.

I’ve also voted for critical fraud prevention measures, including establishing an independent office of inspector general and the Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act. I helped deliver nation-leading tax credits for families with kids, and I’ve worked to keep our kids safe by supporting comprehensive, gun violence prevention laws.

I believe our common values bind us together as a community and should always serve as our guide for making our state work better for all of us, no matter what we look like, where we come from or what our economic status is. It’s time to reject the politics of division. I will continue to be a leader who works to bring us together, not tear us apart.

I’m Senator Bonnie Westlin and I’m asking for your vote again in November to continue the good work for our community and for our state.
