House Republicans believe that Washington state is your home and you should expect more. You should always feel safe in your home and community. You should not have to endure new tax, regulatory and financial burdens. And you should expect the governor and Legislature to be held accountable for their decisions and results.
When House Republicans consider legislation, we will look through the lens of: Will this make Washington state more safe, affordable and accountable?
Safe.
The governor and Legislature must do more to help keep our communities and residents safe, including those who have homes and those who do not. Addressing public-safety challenges requires compassion, enforcement and accountability. Communities need the resources and tools to respond to the root causes of the homelessness. It is also important to provide our law enforcement professionals with the support they need to keep our communities safe. Some of our solutions include:
- Support our law enforcement professionals. | House Bill 2537, House Bill 2538, House Bill 2539, House Bill 2560
- Ensure safe neighborhoods through proactive policing. | House Bill 1501
- Crack down on property crime. | House Bill 1159
- Provide local governments more options to address homelessness. | House Bill 2282, House Bill 2658, House Bill 2639
- Prohibit supervised injection sites. | House Bill 2112
- Encourage safe schools through common-sense reforms. | House Bill 1035, House Bill 1507
- Protect communities from wildfires. | House Bill 1188
