Franklin earns perfect score for votes on children’s and families legislation

OLYMPIA – For her steadfast support of legislation to help Washington’s children and families, Sen. Rosa Franklin, D-Tacoma, was recently awarded five stars, or a “perfect” ranking, from the Children’s Alliance.

“I’m very proud of my voting record on issues affecting our children,” Franklin said. “Making our communities better places for our families through a great education system, and high-quality health care and social services, has been my top priority as a legislator.”

The scorecard is intended to inform advocates for children and the public about the voting record of state legislators on issues affecting children and families. It is based on votes taken on 13 key bills, including health coverage of all children (Senate Bill 5093); family leave (SB 5659); and SB 5828 (Early Learning Advisory Council).

The Children’s Alliance, a statewide advocacy organization, champions public policies that deliver the essentials children need to thrive — confidence, stability, health and safety.
