I think it’s generally bad for democracy when we’re like, ‘There is one way to be a Democrat,’

I am always going to be an underdog.

Our district has voted for Donald Trump in each of the last three elections, so I understand why his seal of approval is so important to Senator Braun. But voting for the president is a different question than wanting to go for a ride on…

Today I voted to ban Members of Congress from selling and trading individual stocks. But House Republicans took a broadly nonpartisan issue and inserted politics—provisions from the Save America Act.

In every job I've ever had, there's a simple expectation. You actually have to be able to do the work. Either you can do it or you can't. And Congress shouldn't be any different.

I’m relieved the Supreme Court is not interfering with Washington’s mail-in ballot system.

I am committed to supporting these workers, this industry, and the communities that built them together.

Beyond the emotional toll of this horrific event, workers are understandably concerned about their livelihoods and their ability to support their households during what may be an extended period of operational disruption.

Rebuilding our national health starts with making family doctors more accessible, especially in rural communities.

For many, a power outage is an inconvenience. For seniors in Ryderwood, timber, ice, windstorms and remoteness can quickly turn a power outage deadly.

Politics has become irrelevant to most people.

I owned an auto repair and machine shop with my husband, and we utilized an SBA 504 loan to buy our shop.

We want to see shop classes in our high schools thriving and competitive.

I want to make sure that we have a farm system that allows the small- and medium-sized farms to thrive.

These priorities are supported by a broad set of stakeholders in my district and I look forward to working with this committee to get them over the finish line.

Wahkiakum County, an economically disadvantaged area in my district, located on the Columbia River, is requesting assistance from the Army Corps for a study to address the flooding problems in Rosburg and Grays River.

I'd like to highlight several WRDA priorities for my district in Southwest Washington, including one that has been in the works since 1986.

This 1.6-acre lot may seem very small to the committee... but where I live, this is the kind of thing that can make an incredible difference.

I support the inclusion of this conveyance in the bill.

That's why I support the County's request for the Army Corps to assess the causes of the fine sediment accumulation and help determine solutions to mitigate risks for the area moving forward.

When flooding occurs on the Grays River, it cuts off access to approximately 500 people living in these rural communities, often for two days or more at a time.

What I really value about our shellfish growers is when you talk about the generational wealth, you are talking about the health of the estuary.

I am deeply grateful for your advocacy of a way of life that I think is critical to our culture as Americans and as Washingtonians.

What is clear is that while we transition to more sustainable and cost-effective renewable energy, we still need oil and gas in the meantime.
