Republicans let the expanded Child Tax Credit expire — now they want credit for doing the bare minimum.
At today’s @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social hearing, I made it clear: this bill leaves out 22 million kids. I’m fighting to make the CTC fully refundable to lift more families out of poverty.

Trump froze billions in school funding for WA schools to maintain school programs, professional development, & ESL programs. Freezing the funds prevented schools from hiring & budgeting for the upcoming school year. Rep. Strickland & I fought to get these critical dollars flowing back to classrooms

IMPORTANT SOCIAL SECURITY UPDATE
Trump is ending paper Social Security checks on Sept. 30, creating hurdles for seniors & those without internet access.
PBS, NPR, & local broadcast stations are trusted news sources that keep families informed during emergencies & natural disasters. Trump’s cuts will endanger communities & put lives at risk.

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, Rep. Marilyn Strickland explains how Republicans are breaking their promise to lower costs with a Big, Ugly Law that makes life more expensive.
Trump’s tariffs are driving up costs & slowing economic growth. Families are feeling the squeeze. We need to focus on lowering costs & supporting hardworking families, not make things worse.
Patients & their families are fed up with the health insurance red tape.
It delays care & puts lives at risk. I’m fighting to fix our system so people can get the care they need, when they need it.
Republicans will go to any length to keep the truth from Americans.
Speaker Johnson shut down the House floor just to block a vote on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files. They’re doing Trump’s bidding & protecting the powerful & well-connected from transparency.
Trump wants to gut housing assistance that could kick 1.4 million families out of their homes. That puts people like Havalah, a Woodinville mom, who works hard to support her family, at risk of losing the stability they’ve fought for.

Americans deserve truth & transparency from their government. Instead, we’ve seen broken promises & excuses. It’s time for real accountability!
She’s here today because of Apple Health. Stories like Dawn’s are why I’m fighting to protect Medicaid & ensure every Washingtonian can get the care they need.
Don’t let an expired passport prevent you from enjoying your vacation!

Trump promised to help working families. But the reality? Prices are up, consumer confidence is down, & health care is being ripped away from millions.
Trump said he’d lower costs. He lied. Now Republicans are celebrating a law that rips away health care & jacks up prices to pay for tax handouts for the wealthiest.
Trump & Republicans are only focused on protecting the wealthy. In just the past few months, they:
❌ Passed a massive tax break for the rich
❌ Made it easier for wealthy tax cheats to not pay their fair share
❌ Cut consumer protections around financial scams
❌ Refused to release the Epstein files
I stand with workers & unions. That’s why I support @golden.house.gov effort to force a vote to overturn Trump’s union-busting executive order that stripped collective bargaining rights from over 1 million federal employees.
Public broadcast stations are often how people — especially in rural communities — find out about natural disasters & emergencies. In WA, fires, floods, & landslides are becoming increasingly frequent.
Cutting this funding will needlessly put lives at risk from these disasters.
Republicans JUST voted to cut funding for public broadcast stations in WA & across the country. I voted NO because these cuts would hurt children’s education & communities’ safety.
