Shop local this holiday season. Support small businesses and local families that rely on them.

Last night at city council, Kennewick Mayor Gretl Crawford proclaimed Saturday, Nov. 29, 2025, as Small Business Saturday in the city of Kennewick and urged residents of our community to support small businesses and merchants not just on Small Business Saturday, but throughout the year.

This great young leader will be missed. Prayers for his beautiful young family. His murder is the epitome of EVIL from someone who was threatened by Truth and discourse, or as I like to call it, Free Speech. He stood up for Faith, for Truth, for our young generation that has been through so much. It was the ultimate sacrifice… a hero.. who gave all…. God Bless you Charlie Kirk.

WHERE’S THE FUNDS?! $1.17 BILLION MISSING:

As Legislative Democrats try to make YOU pay new taxes and MAJOR tax increases, former Gov. Inslee's administration, through various state agencies, is still missing or not adequately accounting for $1,170,000,000.00 in Federal Covid Relief Aid -taxpayer funds. This is according to the State Auditor's Office (D).

Struggling WA families, individuals, and small businesses needed those funds.

We have repeatedly called for better and more transparent management of your money.

BREAKING: WA Senate Democrats just voted to shut the public out of the budget process. Instead of resolving differences between the Senate and House Democrat Budgets out in the open, the final budget deal will be cut behind closed doors. Four Democrats will emerge right before the end of the session with a record-spending budget (close to $80 BILLION) no one else has seen. There will be no public hearing on the deal. No amendments will be allowed, not even from moderate Democrats, much less Republicans. Just a yes or no vote. All Senate Republicans voted NO on this abuse of legislative process.

This severe lack of transparency is a massive disservice to you, your family, and the people of Washington. Government should be open and transparent for everyone. They’re your tax dollars.

Former Gov. Inslee and Legislative Democrats' Legacy of Failure: Comparing 2013 to 2025.

Crime: WA 30th Most Unsafe in U.S. -> Now 1st

Housing: 12th Most Unaffordable in U.S. -> Now 4th

Rent: 22nd Most Unaffordable in U.S. -> Now 2nd

Homelessness: 8th in U.S. -> Now 2nd

Accountability: Missing $1.17 BILLION of taxpayer money and severe lack of transparency

And this is just scratching the surface. WA deserves better.
