Washington Attorney General

I appreciate it.

Well, why don't we get right to it? You were elected AG out in Washington in November of 2024, the same day Donald Trump was reelected to the White House.

And

on the energy front, you've challenged

Well, you know, let me just sort of start at the macro level.

Washington State, for many years now, has been one of the foremost state leaders when it comes to climate resiliency programs, environmental protections, developing and being very mindful of the strategic need to think about energy alternatives as we move forward.

So this has been a multi-year, multi-decade focus of Washington state, both in our legislature and through our AG's office, but also just a lot of policy leads and outside groups who have been very important for us.

And that's a good foundation, I think, to sort of start with, because Donald Trump, sort of to the second part of your question, really presents a unique threat to those efforts and a unique challenge.
