Thanks to those at @napca.bsky.social for having me at their Medicare Open Enrollment event at the IDIC Filipino Senior Center. It's always important that Washingtonian senior have access to vaccinations, food assistance, and other benefit programs.

I had the chance to stop by El Centro de la Raza’s Lift Zone in Federal Way. They’ve worked with Comcast to provide free WiFi and access to technology to assist working families with job applications, remote learning, schoolwork, and other essential needs. Thanks so much for having me.

A lot of our country's problems are driven by President Trump's sheer awfulness.

Special thanks to our local representatives for sitting down with me yesterday for an immigration round table. We must work together to make sure than ICE detention facilities uphold the rights of all detainees, including legal representation, medical care, general hygiene, and safe entry.

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 02/10/2026

The nursing and allied health workforces face critical shortages, with up to 200,000 additional nurses needed each year. I’ve introduced the Immigrants in Nursing and Allied Health Act to help break down barriers to ensure immigrants can fill these positions and build our health care workforce.

We must reform campaign finance laws.

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 29/09/2026

The Trump administration fundamentally doesn't believe in the rules of representative democracy.

1144

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 28/09/2026

Trump wants to end our representative democracy and replace it with an autocratic form of government.

52913

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 28/09/2026

The President and his policies are deeply unpopular.

3196

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 24/09/2026

Trump aspires to be Kim Jong Un or President Xi or Putin to lead a country where he's the absolute dictator.

5197

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 23/09/2026

China and the U.S. are driving the conversation about AI, and it's important that President Trump and President Xi discuss controlling it in a better, more intelligent way during today's summit.

6103

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 22/09/2026

There are multiple concerns about AI.

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 22/09/2026

Now is the time for the two most powerful nations to help guide us towards a more peaceful world.

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 21/09/2026

Trump has put us back on the path to a 1970 stagflation situation, and we cannot let inflation get out of control.

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 17/09/2026

There's three things Democrats can do if we win a majority.

4147

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 16/09/2026

Over the past few weeks, I have been dealing with some medical issues and was scheduled to have a procedure. Unfortunately, this procedure was postponed, causing me to miss several votes in the House over the past few days in session.

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 15/09/2026

Donald Trump wants to interfere in our elections, and we cannot allow him to control who gets a ballot and who doesn't.

2154

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 15/09/2026

A $5,000 blank check and blind allegiance to Trump is a bad idea, yet no Republican has the gall to stand up to the President.

2258

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 14/09/2026

Everything about the president’s acceptance of the Qatari-gifted Boeing 747 now being used as Air Force One is deeply troubling. @democrats-armedservices.house.gov

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 14/09/2026

Donald Trump wants to pass out our own money to bribe voters into supporting the Republican Party.

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 11/09/2026

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Thousands of Americans lost their lives that day, and first responders and brave patriots made the ultimate sacrifice to protect and save their fellow Americans.

61 years ago, our country established the Department of Housing and Urban Development, intended to bring more accessible and affordable homes to those across the country.

Football is back in Seattle. Go Hawks!

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 08/09/2026

The single biggest driver of our nation’s $40 billion debt is 25 years of Republican tax cuts. Because their trademark Big, Beautiful Bill gave tax cuts to billionaires and wealthy corporations, working-class Americans will have to make up for the $4.7 trillion added to our deficits.

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 04/09/2026

Gloria Steinem was a bold, powerful champion for equal rights, and I was lucky enough to meet her a few years back. May her legacy live on for generations to come.

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 03/09/2026

When someone has a mental health crisis, they deserve timely, comprehensive treatment. I was proud to introduce the 988 Crisis Response Act alongside my colleagues to fund professional mobile crisis response teams dispatched by call center operators.

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 01/09/2026

Today marks the start of Suicide Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness and reinforce that no person is struggling alone. Know that healing is possible and a conversation is always available to you. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 or visit 988lifeline.org.

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 19/08/2026

Happy National Aviation Day to all those in WA-09. Growing up in SeaTac, I saw firsthand the influence that the aviation business has on our community and appreciate all those who help make our skies and airports safer.

It was great to visit the Mental Health Housing Foundation in Auburn to tour their site and learn more about their model of pairing affordable housing with behavioral health supports.

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 14/08/2026

I was proud to introduce the Safety Starts at the Top Act, legislation that would require large aerospace manufacturers to include both worker representatives and safety experts on their boards of directors. WA-09 has a strong aerospace industry, and I thank our endorsees for their support.

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 12/08/2026

For the first time, the office of Congressman Adam Smith is hosting an Alternate State Flag Challenge as an opportunity to recognize and encourage creativity and artistic talent in our district.

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 07/08/2026

Today, I'm proud to introduce the Safety Starts at the Top Act, legislation that would require large aerospace manufacturers to include both worker representatives and independent safety experts on their boards of directors.

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 03/08/2026

I joined my Washington state colleagues in requesting an expedited emergency declaration following the wildfires in Spokane and throughout Eastern Washington.

3359

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 31/07/2026

For decades, we've asked working families to play by one set of rules while the wealthiest Americans play by another. It's time we started simplifying the tax code around one basic principle: a dollar earned is a dollar taxed, no matter who earns it or how.

2278

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 23/07/2026

The war in Iran has been an utter disaster and is getting worse every day.

We are witnessing a fascist takeover of this country.

We stumbled into a conflict in the dumbest way imaginable in the history of the United States of America.

77331

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 22/07/2026

We are cutting important programs to fund a $1.6 trillion defense budget. The math doesn't add up.

83618

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 21/07/2026

President Trump is unhinged and disconnected from reality.

175219

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 21/07/2026

I hosted our 3rd Kent Valley Space Industry Roundtable with local experts in the region. The advanced manufacturing and aerospace business has grown the economy throughout King County, so I appreciate those from Juno Propulsion, Stoke Space, Space NW, and Starfish Space for joining the conversation.
