Far too many families struggle to afford rent or to buy a home, while large investors are buying up available properties and squeezing our prospective new owners.

We must address the core problem of the concentration of wealth in the hands of the few at the expense of the many.
More than half of Americans can only afford to maintain their current standard of living, even those making over $100,000. Life is too expensive today, leaving many working-class people unable to fund major expenses like buying a new car, purchasing a home, or even paying for their health care.
We're the wealthiest country in the world and that wealth has been generated by the working class. But too often, profits go only to shareholders.
This Trump-backed election-security bill is a solution in search of a problem. This bill would make it harder for Americans to express their voice at the ballot box. I strongly oppose the Republican efforts to nationalize the election process under the Trump Administration.
To apply, visit sba.gov/disaster or contact the SBA Customer Service Center at 800-659-2955 or email disastercustomerservice@sba.gov.
Assistance is offered to those who have experienced physical and economic losses and applications are open now. The deadline for property damage is April 27, while the deadline for lost assets is November 24.
Low interest federal disaster loans are now available to businesses, private nonprofits, and residents in Washington state who were impacted by December's atmospheric river storms.
No veteran should ever be forced to choose between their health and their hard-earned benefits — especially the brave individuals who have sacrificed so much for our country.
The whiplash created by this administration continues to impact the livelihoods of our veterans, and we must remain focused on providing the resources and stability they deserve.
This rule could have reduced compensation for disabled veterans at a time when our nation should be strengthening its commitment to those who have served.
Following widespread opposition, the Department of Veterans Affairs reversed a decision that would have complicated access to veterans’ disability benefits.
If you’re looking for help with a federal agency, start by contacting my office. You may visit my Kent office any time between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., call our office at 425-793-5180, or email caseworkwa09@mail.house.gov. We’re here to assist you.
My job in Congress is to help my constituents. From stalled IRS refunds to delayed USCIS visa processing, my office is working to solve issues with the federal government.
The consensus is clear: Americans think ICE is too aggressive. Their violence is a direct result of lack of training and accountability, and they will continue to detain the wrong people unless this organization is reined in.
President Trump promised to deport “the worst of the worst,” yet 47% of individuals arrested by ICE in Washington have no criminal history.
The Supreme Court checked Trump's power in their ruling against his illegal tariffs, but the President continues to ignore the law. We need to hold him accountable.
Last time, we were joined by many groups including Avela, who shared their opportunities for young people to make school enrollment easier and more accessible. Registration is now open and I hope you will join my team at the Museum of Flight for this event.
REMINDER: My office will host a Youth Resource & STEM Fair on Sunday, March 1 at 10 a.m. for 6th-12th graders and their caregivers. Attendees are encouraged to get connected to resources, workforce development opportunities, and STEM opportunities serving WA-09.
During my recent Virtual Town Hall, I spoke about the importance of K-12 education and improving our school system by learning from other states.
