Show Notes

Washington Senate Democrats have a new Majority Leader: Sen. Jamie Pedersen. He and Speaker Jinkins have actually known each other for 30 years, going back to when they were both (in her words) “…young whippersnapper advocates.” In this episode, she talks about what it’s like to work with him as her leadership counterpart in the state Senate.
