Statement From Mayor Victoria Woodards Congratulating
State House of Representatives Speaker-Elect Laurie Jinkins 

 

“Tacoma is proud to be home to the first-ever female Speaker of the House. Speaker-Elect Jinkins has been a strong advocate for Tacoma since she was elected to the House of Representatives’ 27th Legislative District in 2011. Her expertise, passion and leadership have been of immeasurable benefit to our community, and I know they will serve her equally well in her new state role. 

There are many challenging issues facing Tacoma and Washington state including housing affordability, access to behavioral healthcare, transportation and much more. Speaker-Elect Jinkins is well equipped to lead the House in finding solutions that will brighten the future of both our city and state. 

The City of Tacoma looks forward to continuing to partner with Speaker-Elect Jinkins in her new role to identify policy solutions for Tacoma and Washington state.”
