Today my office hit an exciting milestone: So far this Congress, we have returned over $7 million in federal benefits back to constituents in #WA08! If you need help accessing tax returns, VA benefits, Social Security, or need any other federal agency help – give my office a call.

I recently hiked the Barclay Lake Trail in Gold Bar with the Sierra Club and Trout Unlimited. The lake and surrounding wilderness area are currently protected by the Roadless Rule.

As a pediatrician, I’ve taken care of patients whose health conditions were found at birth because we were able to complete early newborn screening – which saves lives.

President Trump’s new reckless, chaotic tariffs against Canada are already hurting American farmers, small businesses, and consumers. A trade war with one of our closest allies and trade partners is the last thing Americans want or need.
