I spoke to both Senator @vandanaslatter.bsky.social and Insurance Commissioner @pattykuderer-waoic.bsky.social about this issue because I was worried about not just the availability but the insurance coverage. I was glad to hear that our state has our back. ❤️WA

“The new Standing Order allows most residents to go directly to a Washington pharmacy or clinic and receive the COVID-19 vaccine without an individual prescription. The vaccine remains covered by most private insurers, removing barriers and helping people stay healthy.”

Meanwhile on the Eastside, progressive #WALeg champion @vandanaslatter.bsky.social is CRUSHING Amy Walen by over 20 points!

That's despite Walen raising more than 2x as much in campaign contributions, mostly from big corporations who want to cut services to dodge paying what they owe in taxes.

Legislative District No. 48 State Senator election results

Amy Walen
(Prefers Democratic Party) = 5,545 votes, 38.33%
Vandana Slatter
(Prefers Democratic Party) = 8,588, 59.37%
Write-in = 332, 2.30%

Big Oil tried hard to meddle in this primary. The likes of Chevron and Koch Industries, among others, dumped a LOT of resources into these races.

It's on to November for @victoriahunt.com, Deb Krishnadasan, and @vandanaslatter.bsky.social. We'll be standing with them every step of the way.

Big Oil and conservative PACs are pouring money into this State Senate race—trying to buy a seat that belongs to you. But they don’t speak for us.

Those standing with me in this video, and all neighbors in the 48th, are who I answer to.

Watch, share, and vote by August 5.

Ahead of the primary in Washington State next week, we're endorsing ‪‪Vandana Slatter for State Senate.

Fossil fuel and big business interests (including the likes of Chevron and the Koch family) have already spent boatloads of dark money to defeat climate champions like Vandana. 🚨

Endorsed by Insurance Commissioner Patty Kuderer, who represented the 48th Legislative District in the State Senate before I was appointed to this seat. We’ve worked to expand access to health care, protect consumers, and put people first. I’m honored to carry that work forward with her support.
