Letter: We made history

November 10, 2020 By The Suburban Times

Submitted by T’wina Nobles.

We did it – we made history! Thank you for everything you have done over these past seven months to send me to Olympia.

You flipped the 28th District Senate seat from red to blue for the first time since the 60s. 

You elected the only current Black member of Washington’s State Senate. 

You elected only the second Black woman to EVER serve in the Senate chamber! 

To the voters in the 28th District, the hundreds of volunteers who gave up valuable time in the middle of a pandemic to text and call their neighbors, and the thousands of supporters who donated to this campaign: this victory is yours! We were determined to elect a Senator in our district who would be a champion for education, supporting working families, mental health, environment, small businesses, housing, LGBTQ+ rights, and social justice.

I am honored to have the opportunity to continue to serve my community as the next Senator from the 28th District, and I look forward to getting to work to fight for equity and justice for communities across Washington State.

Once again, thank you so much for your faith in our mission and your support.

    So sad that everything is becoming one-sided, only one party in complete power, similar to what happened in Europe in World War II. Not everyone’s voice will be heard. So sad.

    What are you going to do about the $30 car tabs issue that voters approved and government overturned?
    Oban worked vigorously on supporting the voters, thats why we voted for him.

    How much fraud was involved to get Nobles elected, it sure reminds me of 2004 when Dino Rossie won Governor, but King County kept coming up mysteriously with more ballots for Gregoire. Washington state is as corrupt as California!

      Agreed….I wouldn’t put it past her party to have fixed this, especially after what has come to light about vote harvesting and Dominion voter machines. O’Ban is a well educated constitution lawyer and an EFFECTIVE leader. I doubt ms. nobels will do much on her own that isn’t thought out for her by the big D machine here in Washington.

      Did you ever get those tabs and tickets sent to collections paid for ms. nobels?
