LEGISLATURE 2023-24: What issues matter to you and your family for the 2024 session? (REP. DAVE PAUL)
State Representative Dave Paul (D-Oak Harbor) sent this email to constituents from his legislative account on Tue., Dec. 5, 2023.
Dear friends and neighbors,
One of the best parts of my job as your state legislator is hearing from constituents about the issues and ideas that are important to you. I hope we can continue to have good discussions about ways to make the 10th District – and our state—an even better place to work, live, and raise a family.
I’m in Olympia for a few days to get ready for the upcoming legislative session. I’d really appreciate if you could take a moment to share your thoughts and priorities with this short survey.
We’ll use the results to guide our work—and I can share your stories (first name only) with other lawmakers to support key reforms and services during the session.
I hope to hear from you—and I’ll share some of the responses in a future e-newsletter!

Please come along for a look at parts of the 10th District and some issues affecting all our families—including ferries, education, public safety, mental health, and parks!
Working together to get things done
The 2024 session starts in January and runs for a short 60 days, ending in early March. Here are some bills and policies that I’m working on—with folks back home and lawmakers from both parties—for the upcoming session.
- Lowering the cost of lifesaving medicines, such as asthma inhalers and epinephrine injectors
- Making it easier for high school students to earn college credit while still in high school
- Strengthening workforce training to help fill shortages and make sure local residents can get high-paying jobs
- Improving local transportation, particularly for our ferry system
It’s my hope that we listen to each other with respect this session, and get things done for all the people we represent in the great state of Washington.
As always, it’s an honor to serve.
Sincerely,
Dave Paul
