Shutting the government down over policy differences is like bringing a jackhammer to a job that needs a chisel.
My thoughts on the shutdown in The @columbian.com:

The deadline to apply for a Winter Internship in my D.C. and Washington offices is right around the corner!
I encourage young people from ALL backgrounds to apply–you don't need to have worked in politics before or be attending a 4-year college to get involved.
I’m grateful to mobile home owners in Cowlitz and Clark Counties for joining my roundtable and helping me think through ways to reduce federal obstacles to create more manufactured housing, keep energy costs down, and stop mobile home communities from getting bought up by private equity.
Mobile homes are a great option as we look for ways to address the housing crisis, but many of my colleagues have never stepped foot in one.
I’m relieved to hear that — after two years of unknowable suffering — the remaining hostages are reunited with their families.
The road to a lasting peace remains challenging, but runs through a strong commitment to our shared humanity.
Our local fishermen work incredibly hard and are the backbone of our coastal economies.
I joined crab fishermen and shellfish growers to hear about challenges they're facing with federal agencies and discuss my efforts to fund dredging to support navigation and higher catch volume.
Grounding yourself in what is good and beautiful is so important – especially during such a crazy time.
So, I'm excited to kick of Fall with our annual Bigleaf Maple Big Leaf Contest! It's a reason to outside, get to know the woods around you, and have fun.
Did you know my team can assist with delayed or missing Social Security checks, tax refunds, passports, or veterans benefits?
My team will be in Naselle on October 22 to assist with federal agencies, and we've already served thousands of folks across Southwest Washington.
Our ports keep our Columbia River economy running full steam ahead, and they're an incredible asset for our local producers and businesses.
It's why I've visited more than a dozen ports across our district and continue to fight for them in Congress.

Consolidation in the emergency vehicle industry is leaving local first responders — and by extension taxpayers — on the hook for increased costs.
I'm leading a bipartisan push to study this so we can better support first responders and save taxpayer dollars.

I pray that God grant strength to the hostages who have endured two years of captivity by Hamas and the families reeling from the unknowable pain of this conflict. May He cut a path towards enduring peace and give us the fortitude to follow it.
Two years ago, we watched in horror as Hamas murdered 1,200 people in a vicious, unprovoked terrorist attack on Israel — our ally and the only liberal democracy in the Middle East.

Our timber communities want to be self-sufficient, and our kids shouldn’t feel like they need to move away from home to do something of value.
My bipartisan bill will honor our heritage — by setting the next generation up with the skills they need to work in our woods.

I remain ready to work across the aisle to reopen the government and get back to the work of bringing down costs for families in Southwest Washington.
My bipartisan team and I will continue to provide constituent services during the government shutdown.
Do you need help with a federal agency like the IRS, VA, or Social Security Administration?
My team will be in Cathlamet next week to assist you — and you can always get in touch at gluesenkampperez.house.gov/casework.
I hope you stop by!
I’m grateful to everyone who came out in Stevenson last month and participated in my eighteenth town hall since coming to Congress.
The ideas and issues that you share with me in these town halls helps guide my focus in Congress.
We vote by mail in the West. It's the most secure method of voting and ensures that folks who can't stand in line all day still get the chance to cast their ballot.
The Constitution is clear — states decide how to conduct their elections.
