On the record

Former senators
The Democrats are now anti-American. Sad!
The once-proud Democratic party is anti-consumer and pro-illicit finance, anti-ethics, anti-free enterprise, anti-worker, anti-livable wage jobs, and pro-socialism.
That’s not leadership on their part, that’s surrender to their radical, socialist base.
Democrats chose politics over the American people—again.
They voted against American leadership, and handed China and every one of our foreign competitors exactly what they wanted.
They voted against protecting American consumers from the scammers and fraudsters this bill would have shut down.
Today they voted against real limitations on politicians’ personal crypto investments.
For over a year, they presented demands and the second we met them, they made new demands and moved the goal posts.
This afternoon, Senate Democrats proved they were never truly serious about protecting consumers and preserving American leadership.
“I’m honored to receive this award from the Institute for Legislative Analysis,” said Lummis. “Wyoming sent me to Washington to fight for limited government, sound money, and the Constitution. That’s exactly what I intend to keep doing…
On this very site, March 30th, 1942, American citizens of Japanese descent were stripped of their civil liberties, stripped of their property, stripped of their community, and their freedoms, based on nothing more than their heritage and…
Services will be cut. Hospitals will be closed.
When you don't do that, you are literally driving up the cost on all of us.
If you have private insurance, you can expect to see higher premiums because of these cuts.
Blocked crossings in downtown and central Kennewick delay emergency response and prevent drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians from getting where they need to go. This study will examine all twelve at-grade crossings along the BNSF and Union…
As Ellensburg and the Kittitas Valley grow, getting vehicles, freight, and people across the BNSF tracks at Umptanum Road matters more every year. This planning grant is the first step toward eliminating the crossing and making travel…
Since 2023, four collisions have occurred along the BNSF tracks running through downtown Mount Vernon, three of them fatal. This study is the first step toward identifying solutions for grade separations and safety upgrades that will…
The Port of Longview supports more than 13,000 jobs, but its primary access corridor International Way is frequently blocked by trains, with as many as 130 vehicles backed up at a time. This overpass will eliminate that conflict between…
For two decades, trains at this border inspection site between Seattle and Vancouver have left school buses, first responders, and freight trucks stuck in traffic that backs up onto I-5. This project will replace the Bell Road crossing…
Still, 625 people died on our state’s roadways last year, so our work is not done.
Since the creation of the Safe Streets and Roads for All program, the State of Washington’s roadway fatality rate has decreased by 15%.
Fatalities on our roadways are preventable.
Big night for those of us fighting for lower gas and grocery prices, voting rights, and against corruption. America didn’t just speak tonight, it yelled that it wants change.
