Miss Knight is a junior at the University of Washington-Tacoma and co-founded the charitable organization Queens for A Cure in 2009 a benefit pageant for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization, raising awareness of breast cancer and funds for breast cancer research.

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Fain: “Yes, I rise because I gave a little bit of issue with some of our incoming freshman that many of them had a lot to say prior to their first speech and I wanted to compliment the good member from the Twenty-Fifth District because I believe that his honoring of women in sports today actually qualifies as his first speech. I have a feeling we may be hearing from him again in a moment and so I just wanted to thank him for heeding my advice to get on with it and share the better part of your district with all of us and we look forward to hearing that. So, I for one, would like to welcome Senator Dammeier to the State Senate.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Tom: “Well, living on the east side I always here these radio commercials and one of the traditions in the senate after your first speech you give a gift to the senate members here on the floor. When I’m listening to the radio I always here Puyallup is where you get cars so I’m really looking forward to the incredible gifts from our generous member from the Twenty-Fifth District. Senator Dammeier is going to make a great senator. He is replacing an incredible friend of mine, a team mate I would say in Senator Kastama. You have a great tradition to hold in that district and we look forward to working with you, in, one, your strong support of education and, secondly, the strong family values that you bring with your passion not only for your family but the families in your community. Welcome to the Senate.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Schoesler: “Well thank you Mr. President. Regarding the previous speaker and the new senator’s gift I don’t ask for a set of keys to a car like the previous speaker but knowing that the new member served on the Goodwill Board of Directors I hope that he didn’t take that role literally in shopping for our gifts. While I realized that he supplements his own wardrobe by cutting to the front of the line at the Goodwill store, I hope that we don’t get that and I also hope that he rises above the agricultural commodity of rhubarb in the gift. We learned long ago that Pierce County were the top producers of rhubarb. It’s out of season and not really here for us and it’s a little early for daffodils from Pierce County so I hope somewhere between rhubarb and daffodils and the keys to cars in Puyallup we will find an appropriate gift for this body.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Dammeier: “Thank you Mr. President. I think that the good gentleman from the forty-eighth may have mistaken me for Oprah Winfrey there for a second. Having gone to the Naval Academy I must admit the hazing here is far less than that which I experienced there and since it is we are honoring women in sports I feel compelled to point out that Senator Braun’s daughter is a track athlete at the United States Naval Academy as we speak. So, Mr. President, I was a little bit torn as to what would be an appropriate gift to provide the Senate in celebration of my inaugural speech here but I thought I’d been hearing a lot recently about how senators are extremely hungry and don’t have time to satisfy their hunger. So what I thought I would do would share with this body one of the favorite food groups from my home town and that is some fresh hot fair scones today. I realize I am walking a fine line here with the President because it is food on the floor and I want the President to know that I am respectful of his rule of no food on the floor but I’m hoping that the members can restrain from eating the food on the floor and being subject to your wrath Mr. President but that will be on them. Thank you very much Mr. President.”

REPLY BY THE PRESIDENT

President Owen: “Senator Dammeier, the President is a great fan of Puyallup fair scones and as long as one makes it up this way he is willing to suspend his own rule of decorum for this moment in time and allow the members if they so desire to eat their scones on the floor.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Hewitt: “Thank you Mr. President. This is my thirteenth year in the legislature and I’m just now starting to understand the reason we don’t get along in this state. The good senator from the forty-eighth said he’s from the east side. He is definitely not from the east side. He does not resemble anyone from the east side. He doesn’t think like anyone from the east side, He is not from the east side Mr. President. I could name the senators in this body that are from east side. He is not from the east side and I just wanted to make that point clear. Senator Tom, you are not from the east side.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Benton: “Mr. President, I want to point out to the good senator from the twenty-fifth is well prepared today, obviously. We are receiving his wonderful gift here on the very same day he’s made his maiden speech. I just wanted to point out his timeliness is very much appreciated and I’m hoping that Senator Hasegawa will take note of Senator Dammeier’s punctuality in terms of the gift. It’s been, I think, three weeks now since were subjected to the screeching of the good senator and as a result of listening to that we are supposed to be receiving a gift and we have yet to receive that gift and I think that gift needs to have compounding interest added to it the longer we wait to receive it. So, I see that he’s conveniently not in his seat to hear this talk but I’m sure that his colleagues will pass our concerns along to him. Thank you Mr. President.”

REPLY BY THE PRESIDENT

President Owen: “The President has located him in the back couch there. That’s Senator Hasegawa right back there.”

Senator Darneille: “Mr. President, with your indulgence, I ‘d just like to tell you that I’m very moved by the previous speaker and so this being the occasion of my first floor speech I wonder if I might also talk a little about the Twenty-seventh district while I’m standing?”

REPLY BY THE PRESIDENT

President Owen: “Very good.”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Darneille: “We had a resolution earlier on the floor regarding President Reagan’s legacy and I too wanted to speak but that resolution got passed me before I could because now I have with me my gift from my district that I wanted to give to all of you, it is, it starts with jelly beans and it is an homage, if you will, to bi-partisanship and to President Reagan’s well-published love for jelly beans. The jelly beans themselves are jelly bellies. There are, indeed, forty-nine flavors of jelly bellies. So I thought it also very symbolic of our gathering here today that there are, in fact, forty-nine of us so there forty-nine flavors of us I guess. I have also attached to each of my packets of jelly beans a playing card. Now, I don’t think that there are gamblers here. It’s not that kind of a card but it’s actually a unique card to my district. These are cards that are done by artists in my district. They have self-published all of these. These are called the Tacoma Washington playing cards. Each of the cards is different and depicts artistic or photographic renderings of sights in my district. So, they’re all unique; Java Jive; Pt. Defiance Park; The Art Museum; Bridge of Glass; many, many reasons for all of you, as you’re driving by on the freeway through Tacoma and thinking that that is what Tacoma is, need to pull off at exit 133 and really see my district. So, as these come around, they’ll each have a different card of course and two of you, completely random-Senator Tom, I know you won’t get one of these-but there are two jokers in the deck and so I hope that those of you that do receive the jokers know that you will receive a full deck of the cards. So, these are actually great artistic works. They show great diversity of my district and I hope that you will enjoy them very much. I will need some help handing them out so I don’t know what the procedure is for doing that but hope you’ll all come to the Twenty-seventh district. Thank you very much.”
