Last week, House Republicans decided that campaigning is more important than lowering costs for American families, causing them to cancel votes until after Election Day.

A new nonpartisan report just confirmed Trump's Iran war has cost roughly $40 billion over the last six months. Republicans in Washington refuse to use your taxpayer dollars to fund important social programs, while instead funneling them to pay for yet another war.

Too many students are being priced out of higher education or graduating high school without a clear path to a career. Last year, I introduced two bills to expand opportunities for students to access affordable higher education, gain in-demand skills, and build stronger pathways into the workforce.

This administration continues to illegally try to infringe on Washington State's constitutional right to run their own elections. Washington will continue to push back against accessing private voter data and ensure election security throughout our state.

Wilber Garces Perez was shot in the back by an ICE agent in Austin. Now he's in detention with the bullet still in his body. Today, 100+ Members of Congress are demanding that ICE get him medical care, stop trying to deport a key witness, and immediately release the video footage.

A year ago, I introduced the Protect Adoptees and American Families Act alongside Rep. Bacon, @hirono.senate.gov, and Senator Collins. This legislation would grant citizenship to international adoptees who were legally adopted in our country as children, but lack citizenship due to a legal loophole.

The Trump administration continues to roll back important climate change safeguards, this time by repealing regulations designed to limit greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. Our country needs to be doing more to limit industrial pollution, not relying more heavily on coal and natural gas.

Since the beginning of Trump’s war of choice, Washington state has spent an additional $1,172,243,810 on gasoline. That’s an additional $412 per family. My constituents can’t afford to foot the bill for the President’s dead-end war.
