State Rep. Vicki Kraft, R-Vancouver, joined a rally Sunday in Olympia calling for an end to the stay-at-home order meant to slow the spread of COVID-19.

More than 2,000 people gathered at the Washington State Capitol, violating recommendations from public health officials as well as the social distancing order from Gov. Jay Inslee. Kraft was one of three Republican state representatives in attendance, alongside Rep. Jim Walsh of Aberdeen and Rep. Robert Sutherland of Granite Falls.

Kraft appears in a photo published by The New York Times standing in a crowd, with protesters carrying signs that read “Trump 2020: Keep America Great!” and “Our rights are essential.” She is not wearing a face mask in the photo.

Kraft did not respond to multiple requests for comment from The Columbian Monday.

The state representative has been critical of Inslee’s response to the novel coronavirus outbreak, and claimed the Democratic governor has been “dragging his feet” on putting together a strategy to reopen businesses. In a post to her Facebook page the day before the rally, she said she has been vocal in legislative discussions about restarting the state’s economy.

“Ultimately the governor has to decide if he is going to face the reality of our crumbling WA economy, listen to the Legislature and business community, and respond or not,” Kraft wrote. “There are many business owners on both sides of the aisle whose livelihoods are vanishing before their eyes and they feel the pain. And employees whose jobs are severely and permanently at risk.”
