WAGOP Chairman’s Update: Voter ID Initiative Chairman Jim Walsh delivers his weekly update from the Capitol in Olympia, announcing that the Washington State Republican Party's voter ID initiative (IL26-126), requiring proof of citizenship at voter registration, fell short of the 310,000 signatures needed for the legislature by today's deadline, despite gathering nearly 200,000. Walsh vows to refile the voter ID measure next week as a direct initiative to voters for November 2026, with a more centralized signature drive led by the reactivated political operations committee aiming to build on prior support by late June. This effort aligns state policy with federal reforms under President Trump to enforce election integrity laws and restore voter trust through incremental steps. |

He called for a thorough investigation into how grant money is allocated and spent, suggesting that current tax expenditures should be scrutinized before considering tax increases on working families. |

The Next Step in Washington’s Plan to Replace Parents Washington State has spent decades building a homeless‑youth system that allows minors to enter shelters, host homes, and state‑run facilities without parental consent, without abuse, and without due process. SB 5935 is the next step in that system, dramatically expanding state authority while cutting parents out entirely. |
