The final hurdle of the 2025 legislative session
$9.4 BILLION! That’s how much funding we protected for education, health care, housing, and other services that Washington families rely on. Together, we helped pass SB 5813, which will increase the capital gains tax on mega-millionaires and billionaires, SB 5294, which will close tax loopholes for special interests, and HB 2081, which will boost taxes on big businesses with taxable income over $250 million.
These bills still have one final hurdle, though. They’re not law until Governor Ferguson signs them. Can we count on you to write to Governor Ferguson and tell him to sign these bills and help fix our upside down tax code?
While we made great strides this year, we don’t expect our opponents to simply back down. Already, we’re hearing that some wealthy interests are considering running ballot initiatives to repeal some of the big improvements we’ve made this year. If they do, they can count on us defending our progress, just like we did with Initiative 2109.
