Beth Doglio represents Washington’s 22nd Legislative District and serves as Chair of the House Environment & Energy Committee. A longtime community organizer and climate advocate, Beth works for Climate Solutions and has spent her career fighting for clean energy, affordable housing, reproductive freedom, LGBTQIA+ rights, workers, and strong public services. She is running for re-election to keep building a more equitable, sustainable, and inclusive Washington.
My top budget priorities are protecting public education, housing and homelessness services, health care, behavioral health, child care, climate and clean energy investments, and the safety net for seniors, people with disabilities, immigrants, LGBTQIA+ communities, and low-income families.
Washington’s tax code is upside down, and we should not balance the budget on the backs of working families. I have supported progressive revenue, including the Millionaires Tax, because those with the greatest ability to pay should contribute more.
If reductions became necessary, I would oppose across-the-board cuts and look first at ineffective tax breaks, duplicative spending, administrative efficiencies, and areas where public dollars are not producing real public benefit.
Washington should continue investing in accessible, transparent, and secure elections. That means supporting county auditors and election workers, protecting vote-by-mail, automatic voter registration, ballot drop boxes, same-day registration, and clear voter education.
We also need to confront election misinformation and political intimidation. People should understand how ballots are processed, signatures verified, results audited, and where to find trusted information from election officials.
Civic participation is strengthened when people believe government is responsive. I support expanding voter access, protecting voting rights, increasing transparency, and making it easier for people to engage with legislators and local government year-round, not just during elections.
The most effective public safety strategies are those that prevent harm before it happens and ensure accountability when it does. That means investing in behavioral health, housing, youth programs, domestic violence prevention, community violence intervention, reentry services, and treatment for substance use disorder.
We also need to continue strengthening gun violence prevention, including safe storage, keeping firearms out of the hands of people who pose a danger, and supporting survivors.
Public safety also requires well-trained, accountable first responders and emergency systems that can respond appropriately to crises. State government should help communities build the right mix of prevention, response, accountability, and support so people are safe and root causes are addressed.
Local journalism is essential to democracy. Washington should support access to reliable local news while protecting editorial independence and the First Amendment.
That means preserving public notice requirements, improving access to public records, supporting local and nonprofit journalism models, and making sure communities have timely information about elections, emergencies, schools, local government, and public health.
I would also support media literacy and civic education so people can better identify misinformation and know where to find trusted information. The state’s role should not be to control coverage, but to strengthen the conditions that allow independent local journalism to survive and serve the public.
I support keeping Washington’s independent redistricting commission, but the 2031 process should be more transparent, accessible, and accountable. The last process showed real weaknesses, including rushed final negotiations and too little public visibility at key moments.
I would support stronger public meeting and disclosure requirements, earlier and more meaningful community engagement, clear standards for protecting the Voting Rights Act and communities of interest, and a better back-up process if the commission deadlocks or misses deadlines. Redistricting should not be about protecting incumbents or parties; it should be about fair representation, compact and understandable districts, and making sure voters — especially historically underrepresented communities — have a real voice in
The greatest challenge facing the 22nd District is affordability — especially housing, homelessness, energy costs, child care, and access to health and behavioral health care. People are working hard and still struggling to stay housed, pay bills, and get the support they need.
State government has a central role to play. We need to invest in affordable housing and homelessness services, protect renters, expand health care and behavioral health access, lower energy costs through efficiency and clean energy, and make child care more affordable. We also need progressive revenue so we are not asking working families to carry the cost of solving problems they did not create.

Just an engineer that is now retired and ready to serve my community. Could go on and on, but this is really boring to others.
The state of Washington has a spending problem, not an income problem. Our government needs to budget money just as the reset of us have to with our own personal money.
Have politicians that have ethics. Not the professional politicians in office, but more regular citizens that have lived a real life.
Support our police department as well as our fire departments and emergency responders. The state needs to stop pretending to support them and then cut their budgets and talk bad about them.
Why have more government involments here? The issue is generally government overreach into our lives as it is. Why create more govenment agencies to spend our tax dollars on?
None, leave it alone. Or, if redistricting is needed, let the voters decide on how to redistrict thier own communities.
Government overreach. Then as a result, high taxes to pay for this overreach. We have a government that is spending money buying stuff that we the public don't need and don't want with money we don't have.
