We are heartbroken to lose our Washington State Senator Bill Ramos. As we’re sure you’ve heard by now, Bill died suddenly on Saturday night, April 19th, while on his evening trail run with his dog, Sadie. This comes as a huge shock to us and to his family.
Bill has represented us in Olympia since 2019, serving as our state Representative for six years and then this past fall we elected him to be our Senator. As we all know, Bill was a personable, caring man who made time for his constituents. Relationships were important to Bill. He was passionate about making life better for people in the 5th LD and around the state.
During his time in the legislature, Bill’s first focus was on improving our roads and highways by obtaining the funding to make major transportation improvements throughout the 5th LD. He also championed housing affordability, and protecting our air, water and climate. He was a proud member of the legislative Latino Caucus.
In our photos of Bill, he’s always surrounded by friends and supporters. He frequently joined us at community celebrations, parades, and festivals. Bill was the epitome of an excellent political representative – he wasn’t in it for himself, he was in it for us!
We extend our heartfelt love and support to his wife, Sarah Perry and their family, for their unimaginable loss.
In light of the Bill’s passing, we are postponing our Spring Fundraiser to next spring. The new date is Friday, May 1, 2026. We simply can’t have a party so near to the passing of our beloved friend.
