AUDIO: Sen. John Braun with KVI’s Ari Hoffman on Protecting Kids from Fentanyl and Fighting New Taxes

In this KVI interview with Ari Hoffman, Senate Republican Leader John Braun discusses two critical issues facing Washington: public safety and economic stability.

Braun explains his push for legislation to hold parents accountable when children are endangered by exposure to fentanyl and other controlled substances. He also addresses growing concerns over proposed new taxes—including a controversial “millionaire tax” and even a “jock tax”—amid major layoffs at Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta.

Braun warns these policies could drive businesses and families out of the state, while calling for practical solutions to keep Washington competitive and safe.
