While overall numbers can still change, it appears that I am moving on to the General Election in November! I really appreciate the confidence the voters have expressed by voting for me in higher numbers than any of the other candidates.

This is what our tax code does to our communities: It becomes difficult for them to balance their budgets (regardless of the constant demands for „belt tightening“) and the need of attracting large commercial investments may result in less than favorable terms for everyone but the business. #WALeg

If you’re worse off now than just a year ago, this may just be the reason. Except for: #Corruption #Tariffs #SomeDumbWar Those are probably also to blame. I will do the work to protect WA residents from corrupt and capricious federal government overreach. Kelso4WA.com

As a Veteran and Immigrant myself, I am deeply disturbed by this reporting. Unfortunate I know that this is not an isolated incident, as my friend Zahid Chaudhry, a decorated wheelchair-bound disabled Veteran was held in ICE detention for months last year. #WALeg

Michaela Kelso For Washington LD 6 (D) @kelso4wa.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

I agree! A moratorium would give Washington state the time to draft and pass legislation to properly regulate AI industry and protect residents from higher electricity costs, water shortages and pollution, noise, and more. If they need infrastructure improvements, they must pay for that! #WALeg

I will vote No on I-645, but yes on the Spokane Transit Authority and library measures. Here is why you should, too: We deserve well funded schools, libraries provide tremendous resources for everyone, and #STA connects us! @no645.bsky.social #WALeg

🌳 Trees are nature’s best air conditioning—and they’re free. They provide shade and actively cool the air through evaporation. On a summer day, a single large deciduous tree releases hundreds of liters of water through its leaves—an effect comparable to having several air conditioners running.

Heads up: The U.S. Postal Service has proposed a new rule that would allow it to refuse to deliver mail ballots in states that don't turn over voter rolls to the federal government. Dems say it's clear evidence the Trump admin is trying to unconstitutionally intrude on state-run elections.
