T’wina Nobles, the president and CEO of the Tacoma Urban League, was sworn in as a Washington state senator on Jan. 8, 2021.
She is Washington’s first Black Senator in 10 years.
T’wina Nobles is officially a new Senator
“Being the only current Black member of the state Senate and the first in ten years, means I have a great responsibility,” said Nobles.
To take on the new role, Nobles has to leave her current position at the Tacoma Urban League, where she helped the community with housing and healthcare, education and employment, and has fought for justice.
She plans to fight for unity
Nobles says she plans to fight for unity, especially in this time when people are divided on so many issues.
“I anticipate over the course of my term, I will see lots of protests and demonstrations,” she said. “My ask is that we are all safe and civil and respectful of each other, so we can get to the real work. So we can hear the issues and take action on the issues for our constituents.”
Congratulations!
