Senator Noel Frame

I’m so honored and fortunate to work for you each and every day in the Senate. Although the work will continue, the way I’m able to communicate with you for the next several months will be changing.

Election year restrictions on official legislative communications begin on May 4, meaning that until right around Thanksgiving, I won’t be able to reach out to you via my e-newsletter or provide updates through my official Senate website or social media.

The work will continue though, and my office will remain open and ready to assist you. If you need to reach me to ask a question or seek assistance with a state agency, send an email any time to [email protected]. Thank you so much!

I’m tremendously proud that we passed the Millionaires Tax to fix our upside-down tax code and make the investments in schools, health care, and services that we all know Washington needs. But Washington isn’t alone in taking action – states across the country recognize that growing inequality and federal cuts from the Trump Administration mean we need to step up and enact progressive tax reform. I talked with reporters at Stateline about the work we’re doing here in Washington and how it fits into the broader and growing movement across our country – read more here: https://stateline.org/2026/04/29/millionaire-taxes-gain-steam-as-states-face-budget-crunches/

I sponsored SB 5211, legislation to pay parental caregivers of children with disabilities, and I'm going to continue fighting to do the right thing for these families. These are parents who desperately love their children and are taking on deeply complex care work that many of us can't imagine providing are doing so to help their child live their best life, and their stories absolutely break my heart. The Washington State Standard has a recent story up covering developments on the issue that I hope you'll read: https://washingtonstatestandard.com/2026/04/22/why-families-caring-for-children-with-disabilities-are-suing-washington-state/

Breaking - the Senate has just concurred in the House amendments to the Millionaires Tax, and this historic tax reform is going to the governor's desk! I am so excited to pass this transformative change to fix our upside-down tax code, provide major tax cuts for small businesses and working families, and provide more funding for the schools, health care, and higher education that we all know Washingtonians are counting on. This is a day for celebration after years of work! 🎉🎉
