The average wait time for subsidized housing is 27 months. No American family should have to wait over two years for a safe place to live. We must invest in more affordable housing to support our communities and ensure everyone has a roof over their head.

These cuts don’t just hurt our neighbors—they also hurt our economy, putting more than 300,000 jobs at risk. I will fight to keep food on your table and stand up to those who would rather see families go hungry than stand up to President Trump’s misguided agenda.
Food stamps have supported working-class families for nearly five decades, ensuring access to basic nutrition. But now, Republicans have voted to slash food assistance for 42 million Americans—including 16 million children and 1.2 million veterans.
This extreme, violent rhetoric from Mr. Gillette has no place in American political dialogue.
I strongly condemn his statement. Advocating for political violence is incredibly dangerous and must be condemned by all members of Congress, and everybody in our country, in the strongest possible terms.
Until this ban is lifted, I will not be doing interviews with Sinclair-owned media outlets.
We cannot allow this kind of political interference in our free press.
Freedom of the press is one of the cornerstones of our democracy, and it must not be compromised by political pressure.
Sinclair’s decision to ban Jimmy Kimmel from its stations under pressure from Donald Trump’s Administration is censorship.
I continue to work to improve the everyday lives of my constituents and transportation workers across our nation.
After becoming law, this legislation now eliminates fees and background checks for our essential transportation employees, and I’ve heard from many strong workers in my district who have spent a lot of time and money keeping their credentials up to date.
A year ago, I introduced the bipartisan bill to streamline TSA security clearance process for transportation workers.

“The relationship between the United States and the People’s Republic of China is one of the most important bilateral relationships in the world. Productive outcomes and candid dialogue between our two countries ... benefit both of our countries and the world.

I am alarmed outraged by the improper release of Rep. Sherrill’s personal info. DoD and NARA have an obligation to protect the privacy of current and former service members.
I joined my Democratic colleagues in urging answers as to why these sites have been altered and will mislead the more than 330 million annual visitors. We must protect our public lands and emphasize the importance that NPS has on American economy and natural resources.
The Trump administration is looking to rewrite our nation's history by strategically changing educational markers, monuments, and memorials in our National Park System.
We need to give the American people what they want. Release the Epstein files.
RFK’s efforts to end mental health screenings in schools would be devastating for students and are the complete antithesis of supporting all aspects of one’s health.
The conversation around mental health has been growing over the past decade, building on access and availability of resources for those who are struggling.
Thinking of those impacted by the horrific shooting in Dallas this morning.
Violence is never the answer and can never be justified by any means. We must lower the temperature in this country and commit to resolving our differences through dialogue—not through bloodshed.
Congratulations to Renton’s own Ino Reyes Jr. for serving as Seattle Police’s Chief for a Day. Ino has just entered remission after a hard-fought battle with leukemia, and I’m glad that he was honored by our community and local law enforcement.
In the aftermath of World War II, many Japanese Americans faced severe discrimination, and it's important that we confront and learn from that history. Thank you to the NVC Memorial Hall for welcoming me — and for being part of the Ninth District.
