Lawmakers Discuss Key Issues at Mid-Session Roundtable

​Lawmakers Discuss Key Issues at Mid-Session Roundtable

The Tri-City Regional Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Washington Policy Center, recently hosted a roundtable discussion with local lawmakers to talk about important bills moving through the state legislature. This event gave business leaders and community members a chance to hear directly from their elected representatives and ask questions about policies that may impact them.

Attending the discussion were Rep. April Connors (R-Kennewick), Rep. Skyler Rude (R-Walla Walla), and Rep. Mark Klicker (R-Walla Walla). They provided some updates on key legislative issues, including property taxes, road usage charges, and executive powers.

These topics affect everyone in the Tri-Cities, from homeowners and business owners to daily commuters. Understanding how these laws might change can help residents stay informed and engaged in the political process. Our legislators want to hear from us and we should be letting our positions be known.

The Chamber and the Washington Policy Center will continue to host events like this to keep the community updated. If you want to be part of the conversation, stay tuned for future meetings and opportunities to connect with lawmakers!
