	Mark Mullet on Tax Reform

We can't keep solving every problem by creating a new tax

[On taxes & spending]: 'I'm one hundred percent convinced that will make housing affordable. I'm one hundred percent convinced that we could fight climate change without having the highest gas prices in the country, and I'm one hundred percent convinced that we can't keep solving every problem by creating a new tax,' said Mullet. 'Every tax, not one on its own, but once you start adding them it that slowly makes a state unaffordable.' Source: Lynnwood Times on 2024 Washington Gubernatorial race , Oct 29, 2023

Voted against capital gains tax to fund state's schools

Mullet memorably voted against levying a capital gains tax on the wealthy to fund our schools two years ago--a tax that is now bringing in crucially needed revenue for our kids and our schools. He was only one of three Democratic senators to do so. Source: Cascadia Advocate on 2024 Washington Gubernatorial race , Jul 19, 2022
