My office will remain open to provide necessary constituent services to those in WA-09 during this Republican-led shutdown.
If you have any questions or concerns about this shutdown and are wondering how it may impact federal services, please visit my shutdown website for more information:

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?
MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement
STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement
Republicans control the House, the Senate, & the White House. It's their job to pass a budget that addresses Americans' needs.
Instead, they shut the government down.
They would rather shut the government down than work with Democrats to protect health care and lower costs.

"Sec Hegseth summoning hundreds of general officers & flag officers from around the world ... on the eve of a Republican-led government shutdown to promote a regressive culture war is a staggering & unacceptable waste of time, money & resources."
- @adamsmith.house.gov and @houlahan.house.gov
Far-right extremists refuse to work with Democrats to keep the government open.
This could lead to national park closures, federal employee furloughs, and transportation delays.
I've compiled some resources to support you during a Far-Right Shutdown.
We decided almost 60 years ago to end discrimination for homebuyers, but the Trump administration is looking to roll back residential segregation. This in no way is helping the affordability crisis in the United States of America.
Part of affordable housing is maintaining fair housing and understanding that the history of this country includes marginalization of groups, redlining, and racist practices when it comes to neighborhoods.
The average wait time for subsidized housing is 27 months. No American family should have to wait over two years for a safe place to live. We must invest in more affordable housing to support our communities and ensure everyone has a roof over their head.
These cuts don’t just hurt our neighbors—they also hurt our economy, putting more than 300,000 jobs at risk. I will fight to keep food on your table and stand up to those who would rather see families go hungry than stand up to President Trump’s misguided agenda.
Food stamps have supported working-class families for nearly five decades, ensuring access to basic nutrition. But now, Republicans have voted to slash food assistance for 42 million Americans—including 16 million children and 1.2 million veterans.
This extreme, violent rhetoric from Mr. Gillette has no place in American political dialogue.
I strongly condemn his statement. Advocating for political violence is incredibly dangerous and must be condemned by all members of Congress, and everybody in our country, in the strongest possible terms.
Until this ban is lifted, I will not be doing interviews with Sinclair-owned media outlets.
We cannot allow this kind of political interference in our free press.
Freedom of the press is one of the cornerstones of our democracy, and it must not be compromised by political pressure.
Sinclair’s decision to ban Jimmy Kimmel from its stations under pressure from Donald Trump’s Administration is censorship.
I continue to work to improve the everyday lives of my constituents and transportation workers across our nation.
After becoming law, this legislation now eliminates fees and background checks for our essential transportation employees, and I’ve heard from many strong workers in my district who have spent a lot of time and money keeping their credentials up to date.
A year ago, I introduced the bipartisan bill to streamline TSA security clearance process for transportation workers.

“The relationship between the United States and the People’s Republic of China is one of the most important bilateral relationships in the world. Productive outcomes and candid dialogue between our two countries ... benefit both of our countries and the world.
