Great news for Washington's Ninth District. Today, the House of Representatives passed a package that will deliver $6,316,000 in community project funds back to our community in WA-09.
These Community Project Funding investments reflect what our communities are asking for — cleaner water, safer neighborhoods, and more opportunities for young people to succeed. I will continue fighting to ensure federal resources are directed where they can make the greatest local impact.
REMINDER: My office will be hosting a Veterans Benefits Webinar for servicemembers in King County and Washington State. Please join TOMORROW at 12:00 to hear from special guests at Disabled American Veterans, UW School of Law's Veteran Civil Legal Aid Clinic, NW Justice Project, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. Presenters will provide an overview of programs, as well as provide constituents with information on how to access these programs.

On today’s What Next: Every Democrat is talking about lowering costs. But voters do care about corruption—and Congress can actually do something about that. slate.trib.al/f14APHx
We must always stand against hatred and bigotry, and I am deeply appalled by the blatant racism at the Diwali celebration in Seattle. Everyone should be welcome to celebrate their holidays, and I feel for the Hindu Washingtonians who were targeted yesterday.
There is still so much to be done in Congress to lower the price of groceries, pass more affordable housing reform, and denounce President Trump’s foreign wars. It’s time for us to get back to work on passing meaningful legislation for the American people.
Last week, ICE extended a new 10-year contract to the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington. This contract was given to the GEO Group, who is profiting off the detention of immigrants in our community. Every detainee deserves the dignity of medical care, basic safety, and hygiene, rather than being a tool to make the wealthy richer.

News: Rep Adam Smith, next chair of House Armed Services Committee, tells me Dems will vote to cut off funding for Trump's Iran war.
"I think it’ll be one of the first things we do," he says.
Critically, he says this will have support of Dem leadership:

.@RepAdamSmith tells @kasie that Stephen Miller's appointment as WH Chief of Staff indicates not only that Trump "basically learned nothing from the election," but it also signals that "it is going to be a very, very difficult time" between the incoming Democratic-controlled Congress and the president.

Democratic Congressman Adam Smith predicts Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will be impeached by the House next week. Rep. Smith puts it bluntly: "Pete Hegseth is an a**hole, and Trump likes that."

"We Democrats, when we get back in power, are going to do everything in our power ... to end this war."

There’s no doubt that President Trump’s reckless wars have increased prices here at home. Last month, fuel used to heat homes jumped over 15%, risking higher bills as we head into the winter months. We need to stop the fighting abroad to lower costs for American families.

NEW: Congressman @RepAdamSmith, the Ranking Member of the Armed Services Committee tells me that "it is possible" Pete Hegseth is not Secretary of Defense through the weekend.
He expects there will be an impeachment vote that will pass next week with Republican support.
Rep. Adam Smith retweeted
Should impeachment (of Trump or Hegseth) be a priority for Democrats after a dominating midterm night?
@RepAdamSmith weigh in.

“My Democratic colleagues on the House Armed Services Committee and I are ready to hit the ground running in the 120th Congress and the top priority will be to conduct vigorous oversight of the Department of Defense and the Trump Administration (and) reestablish an Oversight & Investigations Subcommittee... ."

Open enrollment began on Sunday and is running through January 15, 2027. President Trump and Congressional Republicans have driven up health care costs through the Big Beautiful Bill, making it increasingly difficult to afford health coverage. Due to these cuts, 15 million people could lose their coverage by 2034. To check your coverage in Washington, visit wahealthplanfinder.org/.
Election Day is here and casting your ballot is one of the great privileges of our democracy. Thousands of Americans fought to bring equal voting rights to the whole electorate in this country, and I hope you all exercise your civic duty and make your voice heard.

In November, we recognize Military Family Appreciation Month, a time to commend the loved ones of our service members. While the men and women in uniform dedicate themselves to our country, their families also support our troops through their sacrifices and patriotism. Thank you for all the work you do.
