This isn't about fraud prevention. It's about giving the Trump Administration another tool to control education and withhold aid. I need solutions that actually work. Not rushing to legislate what regulators are already doing. Practical beats perfect.

Make no mistake: when ED's fraud detection system flags a student without a traditional ID, without reliable internet, or experiencing homelessness — and it will — that student has nowhere to go. They're stuck in bureaucratic limbo. This bill doesn't protect anyone. It traps the most vulnerable.
I voted NO on H.R. 7892. Ghost student fraud is real and needs to stop. But the Education Department already built a system to catch it in April. This bill just locks that untested system into law — without any guardrails. That's not how you do this.
President Trump does not live in the factual world. He promised no war with Iran, and he has certainly broken that promise.

Many of us in the Ninth District live near SeaTac Airport, and it’s important that our community is involved in the impacts of aviation paths. There will be town halls in SeaTac, Des Moines, Federal Way, and Burien later this month, but a public comment period is open from now until July 21.
I was proud to secure $1.5M to support the development of the Renton Market and am excited to see the way it will support our small businesses.
It was great to celebrate the ribbon cutting for the City of Renton's Legacy Square, Piazza Park, and Renton Market projects on Saturday. The opening of these projects creates new spaces for community to gather and play, and for the local economy to grow.
His personal wealth is skyrocketing while almost 5 million Americans have dropped their health insurance because of Republican price increases.
It's clear that President Trump cares only for himself, not for his country.
American families have paid an additional $2,500 this year to counterbalance Trump's tariff taxes, while the President made $220 million from stock trades in the first quarter alone.

My statement on the Lebanon War Powers Resolution vote.
I'm committed to protecting the resources we need to end this epidemic.
In the 45 years since HIV has been discovered, we've made remarkable progress. Treatment now allows people living with HIV to achieve viral suppression and live full lives. But this progress depends on sustained funding for research and federal programs.
World Environment Day hits home in WA-09. Families in South Seattle and neighborhoods near SeaTac are breathing polluted air from aviation routes and traffic. This is unacceptable. We’re working with the community to push for cleaner air and a healthier Puget Sound.
I’ve also partnered with Minority Vets to help out LGBTQ+ service members access safe housing. I’ll continue to work with community leaders to provide the support for our LGBTQ+ neighbors.
My office helped invest $500,000 in community project funding to expand their substance use and mental health services.
I’ve been proud to support LGBTQ+ organizations across the Ninth District over the years and wanted to reflect on the world we’ve done this Pride Month. I’ve met with UTOPIA WA and supported their mission of advocating for LGBTQ+ Pacific Islanders in South King County.

"The most important thing about this video is there is nothing classified about it... yet they refuse to release this one. Why? Because if the public sees it, they cannot defend it."
