“Washington’s war on parental rights, businesses, and Second Amendment freedoms is shocking and a terrible reminder of the cost of the Left's mission to make corrupt mass mail-in voting the norm,” said CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp. “The bills coming out of Washington should worry and disturb people interested in human freedom and dignity.”

CPAC recognizes several lawmakers in the Washington State Legislature for earning CPAC’s Award for Conservative Achievement for voting with the conservative position at least 80% of the time during the 2023 session.

The bills featured in CPAC’s 2023 Ratings of Washington weaken parental rights, undermine Second Amendment freedoms, and increased the size of the welfare state. These issues, coupled with our mission to protect life, liberty, property and upholding the American family, created the basis by which the CPAC Foundation rated the Washington legislature.
