days left in the window
Closes Thu, Nov 26
How to do it
Call Rep. Simmons' Olympia office and ask directly: does she plan to pay the ~$52,000 ethics penalty (due within 90 days of the Aug. 28, 2026 final order, i.e. by roughly Nov. 26, 2026), or will she continue to appeal in Thurston County Superior Court using additional public/legal resources? Ask whether she will recuse from future votes or grant decisions involving organizations that have employed her.
