The Administration now has a choice. It can continue to fuel the appearance that it is laying the groundwork for an unprecedented federal intrusion into state-run elections, or it can finally provide Congress and the American people with…

The Public Record
Maria Ellen Cantwell is a United States Senator from Washington, serving since January 3, 2001. A member of the Democratic Party, she has been actively involved in various legislative efforts, particularly focusing on technology, environmental issues, and healthcare. Throughout her tenure, Cantwell has worked on policies aimed at promoting clean energy and protecting the environment, as well as advocating for affordable healthcare access for all Americans.
This $25.5 million dollar investment that helps this project is going to attract over $100 million in private sector development, and that is why you put federal dollars on the table, and that's what you sent me to Washington to do.
This is what America gets and American workers get when you make port infrastructure investment.
If there are people that are overriding the Constitution and not following the Constitution, that would be an area where I would think about [eliminating the filibuster.]
We are now working hard to pass another infrastructure investment bill, because we have to continue to make port infrastructure investment.
“Today, Senate Republicans voted to keep a Trump Administration policy that will make childcare more expensive and less accessible for many of those families.
“More than 15,000 low-income families in Washington rely on the Child Care and Development Fund,” said Sen. Cantwell.
If we're going to get our fiscal house in order, the least we can do is fund our own tax accounts receivable function.
Making sure that the IRS is funded and staffed is essential to having a fair system.
For the good of our country, the rule of law, and the American people, we demand that you change course and restore the previously awarded funding.
“While we were unable to reverse these harmful changes, I will keep fighting to make childcare more affordable.”
We need to make clear to those law-abiding citizens that the well-connected are not above the law, and they don't get a free pass when it comes to compliance with our tax laws.
My constituents were outraged by the $1.8 billion slush fund, but the offer of blanket immunity from any tax enforcement claims was especially appalling.
Now that court documents have confirmed what we knew to be true, we write to demand that you restore previously awarded funding that the Trump administration has weaponized in an attempt to punish perceived political enemies.
The Administration is using the Supreme Court's mistaken ruling on Temporary Protected Status to strip legal status from thousands of law-abiding Haitians nationwide, including many community members in Spokane.
The U.S. Postal Service has no role in deciding who can vote. The Supreme Court should reject President Trump’s latest demand to allow him to interfere with the ability of Washingtonians to vote by mail. It’s unconstitutional and with…
We are making women travel all over just to get care, and now we're telling Americans we don't even know if we believe in IVF. This nonsense has to stop.
I can just tell you, as somebody who's old enough to remember the '60s and the civil rights efforts of my parents and the fight for civil liberties, I'm inspired just to be in the room with you, because it gives us confidence as we now…
This is just as important as 1964. We have to remember this heritage. The task that they accomplished was harder than this task.
I take solace in knowing the success that that movement made … historic efforts of people just like you to come together to put the pressure on to explain what was really at stake: our ability to have our voice heard through casting a…
Our foreign policy cannot be about military might, and it can't be about cutting people off with tariffs.
“So, my state wants to know why the Indian gaming [operations] – who basically have lived by the rules in their state and lived by the rules of a regulated entity – are now all of a sudden competing with somebody that is not a regulated…
“If the prediction markets are allowed to keep operating unchecked does this pose an existential threat to both tribal sovereignty and to Indian Country, and what can Congress do to better protect Indian gaming?”
The rapid expansion of sports event contracts through prediction markets and online casino-style gaming poses an existential threat to tribal sovereignty by undermining the revenue that tribes rely on for government services.
Trade with Canada powers $7.3 billion in Washington state exports and supports more than 200,000 jobs. To protect American workers, wine growers, and brewers, President Trump must drop these tariffs, honor the USMCA, and restore our…
