Dan Lewinski - Thank you to the Skagit, Tulalip, Stillaguamish and Coastal Salish

The most important thing was the leg being able to supercede the voters!!!

Delta Airlines and Coca Cola

What does omnibus vote mean?

Nancy Jenny, Mount Vernon, Coast Salish, Stillaguamish, Sauk Suiattle, Skagit

YES, and Guv just signed abolishing death penalty.

in WA state???

no, Virginia

why is Manchin so conservative? Is his state conservative?

Manchin's state is one of the reddest states. Trump took it by something like 40%.

40% margin that is

meaning 70% trump 30% biden?

W. Va is 93% white. Many coal miners. Lots of Trump voters. If it weren’t Manchin, it would be a republican.

Mercer

Trump took W. Virginia with just under 69% of the total vote, to Biden's just under 30%

Our redistricting in WA is Bi-Partisan, not non Partisan. It’s independent of the state legislature, but 4 of 5 members of the redistricting commission are appointed by the 2 major parties.

which is better: speeding or slowing the census?

Bring back the Fairness doctrine

Its most important to count all people accurately.

That’s tomorrow, Cindy! Time flies!

Needed to ensure both representation and spending for social services, which are based on census of even non-US citizens

thanks

What is the purpose of meeting with Cantwell/Murray on For the People Act? They are already "yes", right?
