Republicans’ health care bill means families will pay more while getting less.

Gerry from Kirkland is fighting cancer & relies on ACA coverage. Without tax credits, his premiums will jump 67% next year—to nearly $4,500 a month.

I’m going to keep fighting for affordable, reliable health care.

It has been an honor to serve alongside Dan Newhouse, both in Congress and our state capital.

Dan has always brought a principled commitment to public service. I’m grateful to call him a colleague and friend all these years.

I wish him all the best in what comes next.

House Republicans’ health care plan means you pay more while getting less. Families deserve affordable care & real value—not higher costs that put care out of reach.

Not all veterans receive VA health care. Many get coverage through the Affordable Care. With tax credits that keep coverage affordable expiring in days because of Republican inaction, as many as 267,000 veterans who served our country will lose coverage.

The House held a moment of silence today after the horrific shooting at Brown this weekend. We hold the students who were killed & injured, their families, & the Providence community in our hearts. Thankful for first responders & law enforcement as the search continues for the shooter.

What is Trump's answer to the affordability crisis? Ration.

Today I visited parts of Snohomish County impacted by recent flooding with Snohomish Reg. Fire & was briefed by FEMA to see how the atmospheric river has devastated communities across WA. Grateful for our first responders. I’ll keep pushing to get families the federal support they need to recover.

Trump’s tariffs are causing chaos & constant uncertainty, meaning fewer tourists from Canada supporting WA businesses. The president promised a strong economy, but he’s directly hurting our state.

Republicans are letting ACA tax credits expire, forcing massive health care price hikes on WA families. This includes Mitch & his wife from Bothell, whose monthly premiums are set to rise from $520 to nearly $2,200 in January.

Trump brags about his “A+++++” economy. Meanwhile, hardworking families are facing higher prices, tighter budgets, & fewer opportunities.

The November Olympic Pipeline leak released at least 2,300 gallons of fuel, threatening water, farms, wildlife, public health, & disrupted air travel at Sea-Tac.

I’m demanding answers & accountability from BP. Our communities deserve safety & transparency.

Home energy bills are up 13% under Trump because of his chaotic policies. Families are paying more & falling behind on their bills, racking up hundreds of dollars in utility debt.

Atmospheric river conditions mean flooding is possible across WA-01. Avoid flooded roads, prepare to move to higher ground if needed, & monitor local alerts. We’re keeping a close eye on conditions & sharing updates as things change.

Excited to announce Isabella Li, Hiya Pandey, and Anya Mehta from Redmond High School as this year’s winners of the Congressional App Challenge from WA-01.

Their app - AnemoDx - will help people with anemia more easily track their hemoglobin levels & get medical attention when they need it.

Republicans have been saying this for 15 years & have only voted to take away health care from millions of Americans during that time.

Living organ donors give the incredible gift of life, but they incur bills for lost wages, travel expenses, & child care.

We need to better support living donors & that’s why we need to pass legislation I’ve introduced that would remove some of these barriers.

On World AIDS Day, we honor those affected by HIV/AIDS, remember lives lost, & reaffirm our commitment to prevention, treatment, & ending the stigma.

Today is all about supporting the backbone of our communities — small businesses!

From local shops to family-run cafes, every purchase makes a difference. Let’s shop small & celebrate the people who make WA thrive!

🦃🍁 Wishing everyone a joyful Thanksgiving! Grateful for our families, friends, & the incredible communities that make Washington’s First District so special.

Enjoy the day, the laughter, & the pie!

Had a great time volunteering at Redmond Hopelink Food Market today!

Giving back to our community matters. Every meal & helping hand makes a difference.

November is Diabetes Awareness Month. As Vice Chair of the Congressional Diabetes Caucus, I’m committed to supporting research, raising awareness, & improving care for those living with diabetes. 💙

Here’s why Trump’s 50-year mortgage idea means you pay more in the long run.

Today, we recognize the violence & discrimination transgender people regularly face & remember those who have lost their lives. We must keep fighting for equality & speaking out against hate.
November 20, 2025 at 4:16 PM
Trump promised lower costs. So why are we paying more than ever for essentials?

The president’s economic policies are sending us in the wrong direction.

I just voted to release the Epstein files. The public deserves answers—plain & simple.
