My constituents like Debra from Graham are worried they won’t be able to afford healthcare. She recently called my office to say her premiums are going up by more than $1,000, and she might have to forgo coverage altogether until she qualifies for Medicare.

Social media and tech companies are having a negative impact on our children’s mental health.

Now, AI chatbots are exacerbating this growing crisis.

I’ll continue my work in Congress to address this issue and keep our kids safe online.

Washingtonians are paying $948 MORE this year because of the Trump Administration’s chaotic economic policies.

I’ve been calling on President Trump to reverse these reckless tariffs and policies that are hurting local economies across Washington.

RFK Jr.’s decision to change the CDC website with his fringe, debunked belief that vaccines cause autism is a threat to our public health.

He’s scaring parents, undermining trust in the CDC, and putting children at risk.

I had a great meeting this week with Public Power Council to discuss how to supply low-cost energy for constituents in #WA08.

RFK Jr. just changed the CDC website with his fictional anti-vax talking points — promoting the blatantly false claim that vaccines cause autism.

This is dangerous.

Parents, please trust your pediatricians, not RFK Jr., about getting your children vaccinated.
