There is no way to express how important Mark Mellman was to me and my organization. I simply couldn't have been as successful without him. My condolences to his family, friends, coworkers and the many people Mark touched in his life. (4/4)

There was nobody like him on the precision of the numbers. He was always on the money. Mark also helped many environmental organizations come up with the right strategies to win big fights. And he was a great friend and advocate of Israel. (3/4)
Mark told me on election night in 2000 that I would win a Senate seat, which eventually helped flip control of the U.S. Senate. He said on election night I would win but it would be very very very close. He was right— three weeks later I was declared the winner by just over 2,200 votes. (2/4)
Mark Mellman was a great man. He was a terrific pollster whose smart insights and analysis helped propel many Democrats to victory including myself. (1/4) campaignsandelections.com/industry-new...
The CEO of a small manufacturer in Everett says that tariff uncertainty is hurting his business and his customers.
“Just as we think we've got it understood, then we get a 10% additional tariff because of a TV commercial.”
I am concerned that FCC Chair Brendan Carr’s move to drop cybersecurity requirements on mobile carriers is part of a pattern of weakness on national security issues. My letter:

Senators Cantwell & Cruz are seeking answers from MLB after alarming allegations that two Cleveland Guardians pitchers rigged pitches for profit. With similar scandals emerging in the NBA, Congress must ensure our sports are protected from manipulation. www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/11/cant...
The NCAA and athletic conferences operate as tax-exempt organizations. I’m asking congressional policy experts to help Congress be proactive in determining the tax rules that should apply in light of the changing financial landscape of college athletics.
I’m supporting legislation to protect survivor benefits for spouses of fallen service members – even if they remarry.
Americans shouldn’t have to absorb the economic chaos of Trump’s trade wars.
Congress should act now to protect Americans from tariff tax spikes by passing the bipartisan Trade Review Act.
This #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, we recognize the culture & contributions of Native Americans and Tribal Nations—the first stewards of our lands. Washington’s tribes continue to shape our state’s history, culture, & economy through their enduring traditions.
The Trump Administration needs to release economic data like jobs, GDP, and inflation numbers before the Federal Reserve meets in early December. It appears that the administration may be intentionally restricting the release of this data. Read my letter:
So the administration is admitting that the tariff on coffee and bananas is a tax? These tariffs have been a self-imposed cost on American consumers and manufacturers. The sooner they stop this tariff policy, the sooner we will see improved American affordability.
“I look at running a successful business for 32 years, and then having an Administration gut punch the entire industry to where I might be put out of business.”
Watch Barry Barr of KAVU talk about how tariffs are hurting small businesses.
I am profoundly grateful to all those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Nearly 500,000 veterans live in the State of Washington, and, today on #VeteransDay, we take time to honor their courage, bravery, and sacrifice.
This bill doesn’t address the core issue that millions of Americans will no longer be able to afford ACA insurance coverage next year. I’m willing to work with anyone to create a path forward but this isn’t it.
Let’s open the government and extend the enhanced premium tax credits. We know there’s bipartisan support in the House and the Senate, and I will work with any of my Republican colleagues to drive down costs for Americans.
Today, I shared how child care providers are urging Congress to save the Affordable Care Act tax credit expansions. When you take away affordable health insurance, small businesses and families feel the impact.
Tariffs are taxes – anybody can look it up in the dictionary. Where are the administration’s ideas to lower costs for American families?
