Investing in early education and K-12 schools increases each child’s opportunity for success. We need to increase our investment in public schools, not decrease them. I will be working with our Washington state partners to bring money back to the education system.

One week ago, the Trump administration took a blunt ax to Washington public schools as they withheld almost $7 billion that benefit students’ education in our state. These cuts include funding for after-school care, professional development for staff and programming for English language learners.
REMINDER: Join us for a Virtual Town Hall tomorrow at 6 p.m. PT. Tune in by visiting adamsmith.house.gov/live or by visiting the livestream on my social media platforms. Hope to hear from you then.
The Big Ugly Bill adds $3,500,000,000,000 to the debt while ripping away basic needs programs, like health care and food assistance, that help people pursue the American dream.
I spoke to @kiro7seattle.bsky.social about the devastating cuts included in the Big Ugly Bill.
Thank you to all the first responders and volunteers who are working tirelessly to locate those still missing. Your dedication and bravery do not go unnoticed.
Please continue to follow all warning systems and stay as safe as possible.
My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Central Texas affected by this weekend's devastating flooding. To the families and loved ones of the 81 individuals who tragically lost their lives, we are with you during this incredibly difficult time.
Join me for a Virtual Town Hall on Wednesday July 9 at 6 p.m. Tune in via livestream on Instagram, X, Facebook, YouTube, or by visiting adamsmith.house.gov/live. Hearing your thoughts and questions is a top priority for me as your representative, so I hope you will participate in to the conversation
As the son of a unionized baggage handler at SeaTac Airport, I know how important unions and their employees are to this nation’s workforce, and will continue to support their fight for fair wages, conditions, and benefits.
90 years ago today, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the National Labor Relations Act into law.
Happy Fourth of July. Thankful to live and represent parts of this nation.
“The people of the Ninth District elected me to fight for their best interests, not to stand by while Congress pulls the rug out from under their lives. I will be voting no on the Big Ugly Bill and I urge my colleagues to do the same.”
These cuts are about handing more power and more money to the wealthiest Americans while punishing working people. It’s cynical, it’s dangerous, and it’s wrong.
“Let’s be clear: none of this is necessary. These cuts aren’t about balancing the budget — this bill actually increases the debt and deficit by trillions.
This bill would make all of that worse.
“In our district, we know how critical programs like Apple Health and SNAP are to ensuring that families, seniors, and children can live with dignity. We know what happens when hospitals close, when energy bills spike, and when student debt becomes even more crushing.
It raises energy costs, cuts clean energy jobs, and guts support for our public schools — all while giving billionaires a massive tax break and adding over $3 trillion to the debt.
“It threatens the basic health care coverage that hundreds of thousands of people across our state depend on. It strips food assistance from tens of thousands of families.
“This bill is one of the most reckless and cruel legislative efforts I’ve seen in my career and it’s Washington families who would pay the price.
The Trump administration is snatching health care away from 17 million Americans, destroying access to food assistance, and uprooting the clean energy industry within this country. I spoke with @msnbc.com about the Big Ugly Bill and why it should not pass.
