A busy House welcomed newly-appointed Rep. Laura Grant-Herriot with a round of applause and full day of floor action. Grant-Herriot, D-Walla Walla, was picked to fill the 16th District seat left vacant by the passing of her father and long-time member, Rep. Bill Grant.
“I have a lot of work to do, including getting to know the other 146 members of the Legislature. Thankfully, due to the relationships that my father had already developed, they already know the issues I want to talk about,” Grant-Herriot said.
“Farms are hurting, our schools deserve continued support, and my neighbors want us to come home with a balanced and responsible budget.”
