Test OTI Senate Housing Cmte

House Page, Dhanyashree Ramanathan, asks Senate Housing Committee Chair, Jessica Bateman (D) 22nd District, and Ranking Member, Keith Goehner(R) 12th District, "...In my research on the Covenant Homeownership Program, I learned that Washington is trying to address the effects of redlining by helping first-time homebuyers from communities that were historically denied housing. Do you think policies like this are effective in addressing the long-term impacts of redlining, and what specific steps can the legislature take, from both a targeted equity perspective and a market-driven approach, to ensure fair and equal homeownership opportunities for everyone?

The Senate Housing Committee considers issues relating to:
Housing affordability and stability
Mobile home parks
Landlord tenant issues
Land use issues primarily related to housing

Senate Housing Committee

The Senate Housing Committee considers issues relating to:

  • Homelessness prevention
  • Housing affordability and stability
  • Mobile home parks
  • Landlord tenant issues
  • Land use issues primarily related to housing

Overview:

During the 2025 session, Legislative Pages (students ages 14-16) had the opportunity to interview legislators from both the Majority party and the Minority party about issues of interest. In this lesson, students will learn about where the Majority Party, currently the Democrats, and the Minority Party, currently the Republicans, stand on three important policies addressed by the House Education Committee.

Essential Questions:

  • What are the challenges regarding housing in Washington State?
  • To what extent can the government help right past wrongs?
  • How does the government balance the need for regulations with the need for growth?
