On February 1, the Washington State Senate voted to approve SB 6239, the marriage equality legislation, by a vote of 28-21. Your senator, Ed Murray , voted with the majority to grant loving, committed same-sex families equal civil marriage in the Evergreen State. Please send Sen. Murray a thank you right now by clicking here.

The senate was considered by most observers as the more difficult chamber to pass the legislation through. Without Sen. Murray ‘s support, advocates would have failed to make Washington State the 7th in the nation to legalize same-sex marriage.

With the State House expected to vote on the measure in the coming days, it’s time to take a moment to recognize the courage and conviction your senator took for standing up and doing the right thing. Thank Sen. Murray today!

Thank you,

Marty Rouse National Field Director
