Honoring Speaker Frank Chopp.
AI Summary
This resolution honors the life and legacy of Frank Chopp, a longtime Washington state legislator and social justice advocate who served as Speaker of the House from 1999 to 2019. The resolution traces Chopp's lifelong commitment to social justice, beginning with his high school protests against racial discrimination and continuing through his work in community service, nonprofit management, and state politics. It highlights his significant achievements, including co-founding the Seattle Tenants Union, leading efforts to provide over $2 billion for housing, organizing collective bargaining units, and serving as the longest-serving Speaker in Washington state history. The resolution emphasizes Chopp's "One Washington" principle, which focused on shared values across the state, and his approach of highlighting others' contributions rather than seeking personal credit. It also notes his personal background, including his family's working-class roots and his commitment to social services, and acknowledges his death on March 22, 2025, at the age of 71. The resolution ultimately seeks to honor Chopp's profound impact on Washington state through his leadership, vision, and dedication to social justice and community service.
