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.

I am alarmed outraged by the improper release of Rep. Sherrill’s personal info. DoD and NARA have an obligation to protect the privacy of current and former service members.
I joined my Democratic colleagues in urging answers as to why these sites have been altered and will mislead the more than 330 million annual visitors. We must protect our public lands and emphasize the importance that NPS has on American economy and natural resources.
The Trump administration is looking to rewrite our nation's history by strategically changing educational markers, monuments, and memorials in our National Park System.
We need to give the American people what they want. Release the Epstein files.
RFK’s efforts to end mental health screenings in schools would be devastating for students and are the complete antithesis of supporting all aspects of one’s health.
The conversation around mental health has been growing over the past decade, building on access and availability of resources for those who are struggling.
Thinking of those impacted by the horrific shooting in Dallas this morning.
Violence is never the answer and can never be justified by any means. We must lower the temperature in this country and commit to resolving our differences through dialogue—not through bloodshed.
Congratulations to Renton’s own Ino Reyes Jr. for serving as Seattle Police’s Chief for a Day. Ino has just entered remission after a hard-fought battle with leukemia, and I’m glad that he was honored by our community and local law enforcement.
In the aftermath of World War II, many Japanese Americans faced severe discrimination, and it's important that we confront and learn from that history. Thank you to the NVC Memorial Hall for welcoming me — and for being part of the Ninth District.
I’m working to provide a pathway to good-paying jobs without breaking the bank. I look forward to seeing how this legislation benefits thousands of people across our country.
I’ve introduced the Community and Technical College Investment Act to offer tuition-free community and technical college and expanded wraparound support services. Post-secondary degrees cost far too much for the average working family, on top of the everyday living expenses.

Ranking Member @adamsmith.house.gov, leading a bipartisan congressional delegation to the People's Republic of China, had a productive dialogue with HE Lifeng, Vice Premier of the State Council of the PRC, and DONG Jun, Minister of Defense of the PRC, on the delegation's second day.
I spoke to NEWSMAX about I'm standing with Democrats to secure health care for Americans in the budget resolution.
Before making any serious health decisions, please speak with your doctor. When it comes to vaccines, Tylenol, or any other medications, trust your licensed professionals.
This is false.
Yesterday's so-called health press conference led by President Trump and Secretary Robert Kennedy was a litany of lies meant to stoke fear and anti-vax sentiments into the American people.
Wishing all those celebrating in the Ninth District and happy and healthy new year. Shanah Tovah!
