On February 27, 2024, theSkagit County Republican Party Central Committee voted unanimously to formally Censure39th legislative district State Representatives Sam Low andCarolyn Eslick for their sponsorship and voting for SHB 2368.[7] A then proposed law by theWashington State Legislature that authorized theWashington State Department of Social and Health Services to coordinate statewide efforts to assist immigrants and refugees with appropriated tax-payer funds and services.[8] Skagit County Republicans believed that SHB 2368 would increase pressure on housing, healthcare, schools and would increase the potential for violence, crime, and deadly drug distribution, including Fentanyl; contributing to the degradation ofWashington state. Additionally, the Skagit County Republican Party cited the conflict that SHB 2368 had withRepublican and Conservative principles, and the Skagit County Republican Party platform.[8]
