OneAmerica Votes proudly endorses Rebecca Saldaña for State Senate representing the 37th Legislative District.  Since her appointment to the Senate in December, Senator Saldana has put her skills as a community organizer and strategic coalition-builder to work passing important legislation to protect victims of human trafficking, fighting for immigrant and refugee communities, and proposing important proposals to counteract the impact of regressive taxes and fees on low-income residents.  She has also fought for the residents of the 37th District in Olympia on issues ranging from transportation to housing, voting rights to paid family leave.  As a long-time community leader and woman of color, Saldana’s leadership is an inspiration to young people, in her district and across Washington State. There’s no better choice to represent Washington’s most diverse legislative district
