Gun violence affects everyone, and during National Gun Violence Awareness Month, we recognize the heartbreaking toll that gun violence takes on our communities and recommit to ending gun violence.

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) helped over 21,000 households in the 8th District save on their internet bills.

Now, due to inaction by extreme House Republicans, the program is set to expire. This is unacceptable, and Congress must act to extend the ACP.

For over two decades, FDA has deemed Mifepristone to be safe and effective. Now, the Supreme Court is considering a case to roll back FDA's approval of Mifepristone.

This is dangerous and out of line - we cannot allow politics to undermine science.

I had a great time visiting Skagit Health's Darrington Family Medicine Clinic to meet with staff and hear about their experiences.

Facilities like this play a key role in addressing the rural healthcare shortage, and I’m proud to support their work in Congress.

In Washington State, we’ve all felt the devastating impact of wildfires.

To address this issue, today I introduced the National Prescribed Fire Act, which will invest in hazardous fuels management to help keep our communities safe.

Great news: The U.S. EPA recently announced a $1.7M grant to clean up the Roslyn Number 4 Mine.

This funding will greatly benefit the city of Roslyn and I'm incredibly proud to have voted for this funding through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) made an immense difference for households in the 8th District and across the country.

With funding for the ACP having run out last month, the House must act now to extend this vital program.
