January 29, 2026

Rep. Travis Couture, R-Allyn, joined a live broadcast of KVI’s The Ari Hoffman Show from the Capitol campus to address the majority party’s refusal to hold public hearings on two initiatives signed by more than 400,000 Washingtonians that are aimed at protecting girls’ sports and restoring parental rights. He also provided an update on his years-long effort to reform the state’s child welfare system and prevent deaths and near deaths of babies and toddlers left by DCYF in homes where adults are actively using hard drugs, including fentanyl.
