“I look at running a successful business for 32 years, and then having an Administration gut punch the entire industry to where I might be put out of business.”

I am profoundly grateful to all those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Nearly 500,000 veterans live in the State of Washington, and, today on #VeteransDay, we take time to honor their courage, bravery, and sacrifice.
This bill doesn’t address the core issue that millions of Americans will no longer be able to afford ACA insurance coverage next year. I’m willing to work with anyone to create a path forward but this isn’t it.
Let’s open the government and extend the enhanced premium tax credits. We know there’s bipartisan support in the House and the Senate, and I will work with any of my Republican colleagues to drive down costs for Americans.
Today, I shared how child care providers are urging Congress to save the Affordable Care Act tax credit expansions. When you take away affordable health insurance, small businesses and families feel the impact.
Tariffs are taxes – anybody can look it up in the dictionary. Where are the administration’s ideas to lower costs for American families?
I am so thankful to have been able to collaborate and win on so many important issues with Speaker Pelosi over the years, from boosting American innovation, to promoting clean energy solution, to preserving public lands, to protecting consumers. (2/2)
Nancy Pelosi is a giant of Congress who served this country faithfully for nearly 40 years. She’s a role model to anyone who strives to get hard stuff done – and a trailblazer who used the Speaker’s gavel to break one of the highest glass ceilings in public service. (1/2)
I stood at the steps of the Supreme Court today where the legality of Trump’s tariffs was on the docket.
The court showed a great deal of skepticism.
This constitutional authority lies with Congress, and that's very clear.
When the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire, thousands of Washington families will see their health insurance costs skyrocket.
Here's the cost increase for a self-insured middle-class family in Snohomish County.
But our constituents shouldn’t have to absorb the economic chaos of Trump’s trade wars while we wait for the Court. Congress can and should act now by passing the bipartisan, bicameral Trade Review Act with a veto-proof majority vote. (4/4)
Their livelihoods depend on the Supreme Court getting this right, so I hope the justices rule quickly and reaffirm Congress’ constitutional prerogative over the imposition of tariffs, as all the lower courts have held. (3/4)
I commend the small businesses that had the courage to challenge President Trump’s unlawful abuse of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). (2/4)
Article One of the Constitution is a directive, not a suggestion. The power to impose and collect taxes and duties rests solely with the Congress and is a core component of our democracy’s balance of powers. (1/4)
It’s #ElectionDay! Voters in WA, be sure to return your ballot to a drop box or your local voting center by 8:00 PM PT TONIGHT. You can find your nearest drop-off location HERE: sos.wa.gov/elections/re...
He must stop weaponizing hunger and instead focus on bringing costs down, a promise he has failed to keep. (2/2)
Trump's tariff chaos has already made it more expensive for families to buy groceries. Now, he is causing even more chaos and uncertainty for the millions of families who rely on SNAP to put food on the table. (1/2)

We need to do more to have American-built and American-crewed ships to expand global trade, protect our supply chain, and bolster national security. In the state of Washington, the maritime sector supports 174,000 jobs.
Open enrollment has begun for 2026 health plans, and Washingtonians are seeing huge cost increases.
Congress could be working right now on bringing down the cost of insurance premiums for Americans. But instead, people are refusing to come to the table to discuss this issue.
Trade wars can cause devastating price spikes for American consumers and businesses.
The bipartisan Trade Review Act would let Congress stop tariffs and restore its Constitutional authority over trade, as the Founding Fathers intended.
