In this WA legislative race, Democrats' agenda is at the center of the debate

Washington’s most competitive legislative contest this fall is shaping up as a referendum on how to change the direction that majority Democrats in the Legislature are steering the state.

And one of the two candidates calling for that change is a Democrat herself.

Deb Krishnadasan, the state senator campaigning to retain her seat in November, says she is best positioned to influence her caucus colleagues who are passing fiscal policies that are hurting residents.

“I bring a balanced voice to the majority party. That is what we need right now,” she said at a forum this month in the Pierce County hamlet of Vaughn. “We need to bring a voice that will get the majority party to work for our people, to take the word ‘taxes’ off our most vulnerable. We need to change direction.”
