They're off and legislating, and doing it remotely again
OLYMPIA — The first day of Rep. Brandy Donaghy’s first legislative session didn’t go quite as planned Monday.
When the newly appointed south Everett lawmaker arrived on the Capitol campus, her office wasn’t quite ready. She couldn’t hang out on the House floor, either, because the session is starting off virtual due to the spread of the omicron variant.
Her only recourse: back to her hotel room. There she took part in the proceedings via computer, followed by an afternoon of meetings, capped off with her first transportation committee hearing.
“Yeah, I’d have like to have been there,” she said, referring to the House chamber. “It doesn’t diminish the value of the work that gets done. Tuesday I’ll be working out of my office. That’ll be cool.”
