Earlier this week, the governor signed the Millionaires Tax into law. This is a historic step in fixing Washington's upside-down tax code and building an economy that truly works for everyone.

✅ The Millionaires Tax will save a working parent of two young children tens of thousands of dollars annually, thanks to the preservation and addition of cost-saving programs.

✅ The Millionaires Tax will put hundreds of dollars back into students' pockets with the expansion of the Working Families Tax Credit.

✅ The Millionaires Tax will support small business owners with the most substantial small-business tax breaks in state history by doubling the Business and Occupation (B&O) tax credit and increasing the B&O tax return filing threshold to $250,000.

Thank you to everyone who supported this work, including advocates like you!

Tonight, we are celebrating history. The Millionaires Tax passed out of the House 51-46 after nearly 25 consecutive hours of debate.

Tomorrow, we will continue to fight for economy justice and an economy that works for everyone.
