Let's Go Washington PAC watching results of ballot initiatives

So we want to go over first, before we bring in Sandeep and Randy into the conversation, we do want to turn to reporter Lauren Donovan, because she's at the Let's Go Washington party where, you know, Let's Go Washington, Brian Haywood, he is the founder of that Let's Go Washington group that is behind the three ballot initiatives on the ballot this year. So you're in Redmond, Lauren, what is the vibe there? I know that we don't have any of those results yet, so I'm sure people on that side waiting for those results. Thank you. Yeah, so right here, Hannah, we are in a barn, actually. I'm standing up in the rafters. If you're familiar with 60 Acres Soccer Fields, we're not too far away from that right now. And this is a big gathering of really the conservative advocates here in Washington State. Brian Haywood, the man behind Let's Go Washington, just spoke briefly about transgender participation in girls' sports here in Washington State. And that is one of the ballot initiatives of the three ballot initiatives brought forth by this group, Let's Go Washington, that I want to dive into specifically. So, if you're not familiar with this, if you didn't check your ballot, I bet you didn't because this is a real hot button issue. But in summary, initiative 638 is prohibiting transgender student athletes from competing in girls' interscholastic sports. So it would require every student participating in those girls' competitions to provide a signed statement from a healthcare provider verifying their biological sex. Now, this is Ron Iyer from both sides of the aisle, it's been a hot button issue. We saw it playing out in Camas, Washington. Within the last couple of weeks making national headlines when girls on the cross country team there walked off in protest or on counter protest. I was able actually handed to speak to a couple of young student athletes, two young girls here that are in high school, one from Tumwater, one from East Wenatchee about their experience. They are here advocating for a yes vote on this initiative. Take a listen to what they had to say. I competed against a male competitor in the 1600 in eighth grade and now I'm a junior and I've competed against four biological males and I might be competing against one soon at state for cross-country this weekend. We need people to use their voice to take a stand for the girls. Neither of us are old enough to vote yet and that's why it's that much more important that we've had the adults take that opportunity and have the courage to vote for us. Anneli, who was the first girl that you heard from there, she's referencing potentially participating against that Camas high school student that has been in the headlines having joined the girls cross country team. So we're gonna keep up with them throughout the rest of the night. Obviously, we wanna get their reaction, yay or nay. I've been talking to them about it. They're feeling confident. They themselves are not eligible to vote. They're too young at this point. So they're telling me they're hoping that Washington voters who are eligible stand up Now, Brian Hayward was out here giving remarks within the last 10, 15 minutes or so. He is the guy behind this political action committee, Let's Go Washington, once again. And he was saying that there have been encouraging signs in other states like Colorado with similar initiatives pushing against transgender participation in girls' sport. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out here. Hannah and David, we'll send it back to you.
