State of Liberty
The State of Liberty is a proposed U.S. state to be formed out of Eastern Washington, as submitted in a failed bill proposal in 2019 by Matt Shea and Bob McCaslin Jr. in the Washington House of Representatives.[1] It was proposed by Shea as House Memorials in 2015 and 2017,[2][3][4][5] and was the subject of the Douglas County Republicans' "Lincoln Day dinner" keynote speech in May 2018 at the Wenatchee Convention Center.[6] In early 2021, a bill (House Bill 1239) calling for the creation of a new state called Liberty was proposed by Republicans Rob Chase and Bob McCaslin.[7][8] The bill was also co-sponsored by Republicans Robert Sutherland and Tom Dent.[9]
