Read More April 10, 2024 Supplemental budget passes legislature, adds $2 billion in spending Record spending continued in the nearly $72 billon dollar supplemental operating budget the legislature passed this year. The good news is the two-year spending plan does not include any new taxes. Unfortunately, it also does not include any real relief for middle-income families who are struggling. Under Democratic leadership, state spending has doubled over the... Read More April 10, 2024 Power of the people: Legislature passes 3 initiatives Public safety was one of our biggest priorities in this short session. Your 35th District lawmakers are thrilled we were able to move the needle on this by passing the initiative to the Legislature to restore the ability of law enforcement to pursue criminals. Our 35th District sheriffs have told us for the past two... Read More April 10, 2024 Stopping a huge property tax increase Senate Bill 5770 was among the biggest threats this session. The bill would have raised the more than 20-year-old 1% cap on the growth of state and local property taxes to 3%, allowing cities and counties to increase property taxes by that much every year without voter approval, creating a devastating compounding effect. The compounding effect of...

Read More Keep Reading Thank you for visiting my website! I’m Drew MacEwen, your Senator from the 35th Legislative District. Our district is a special place, a land of great natural beauty – forests, mountains, waterways, marshes, bays and inlets. We are one of the most rural districts in the state, which means our issues are different than those of urban areas. We need to make sure our voice is heard. We’re interested in economic growth and opportunity, good roads and good schools, and improved services for rural areas. We want to preserve our way of life and keep it affordable. This is the perspective I bring to Olympia. I have represented the 35 th District since 2013, spending a decade in the state House before moving to the Senate. We face many challenges, and I believe the best solutions come when legislators work across the aisle and listen to their constituents. You can play a part in that. I want to hear from you! If you have a problem with a state agency, or you have a comment or a concern about the direction of state government, please do not hesitate to contact me or my legislative assistant, Rob Barnes. You can give us a call at (360) 786-7668, send me a letter at the address below, or drop me a quick email at Drew.MacEwen@leg.wa.gov . It is an honor to represent you in the state Senate, and I hope you will stay in touch.
