Proudly representing the people of Washington State’s 8th District. Pediatrician. Mom.
Yesterday, I met with healthcare leaders from across #WA08 to discuss the importance of Medicare Advantage reform. We need to ensure seniors always have access to the healthcare they were promised.
Yesterday, I thanked those protecting our communities from the Little Giant Fire in Chelan County and met with General Welsh to discuss containment operations. Please follow all local evacuation orders, and stay safe.
The Muckleshoot Tribe’s Head Start early learning program provides fantastic resources for our community, including a great mobile health clinic for young students and families.
I had a great day yesterday meeting with the Muckleshoot Tribe’s Head Start and mobile health staff, Auburn Senior Activity Center visitors, local aerospace innovators, and WA State Fair Trade Coalition advocates!
Here is this week’s Schrier Flyer - with updated wildfire resources.
I recently toured the Mud Mountain Dam in Enumclaw with the Cascade Water Alliance and Army Corps of Engineers staff. Thank you for your work to protect fish passage while bolstering our hydropower resources!
As wildfires and smoke impacts communities across #WA08, please visit my wildfire guide and resources kit at Schrier.house.gov/wildfire-guide-and-resources-kit and follow all local emergency alerts.
As the Little Giant Fire in Chelan County continues to grow, and as the Liberty/Swauk Creek Fire emerges in Kittitas County, please view the following pages, alerts, and emergency location centers.
I am proud to join my Washington state delegation colleagues today in a bipartisan effort to request critical resources for communities impacted by catastrophic wildfires in Eastern and Central Washington.
I recently visited the Kittitas County Emergency Operations Center, which will help our local search and rescue teams, wildfire response, and emergency management.
Thank you to the Pierce County leaders who joined me yesterday to discuss the Orville Road floodplain restoration project in Orting. This project will protect our families and communities from flooding, especially as recovery efforts continue from last winter’s devastating storms.
I joined the King County Housing Authority this week to break ground on their Issaquah Trailhead Affordable Housing project, which will add 154 affordable units for families in our community!
Just stopped to grab coffee in Enumclaw at The Local in between visits with constituents and groups!
I had a great day in North Central Washington celebrating federal funding I secured for local emergency services and housing projects. I also stopped by the Confluence Parkway project, met with a small business to discuss tariff impacts, and talked with staff at Head Start Wenatchee.
61 years ago today, Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law - making healthcare accessible for millions of Americans. Now, Congressional Republicans’ Medicaid cuts have ripped coverage away from kids, families, and seniors in Washington state and across the country.
I recently volunteered at the Maple Valley Food Bank, where I heard from volunteers and staff about how federal funding cuts have harmed local resources. Thank you for keeping our communities healthy and fed.
I joined @mtsgreenway.org this weekend to volunteer at their plant nursery in Issaquah! Thank you to the staff and volunteers for your constant work to protect our local environments.
For Kittitas County this year, I secured funding to widen I-90 and improve roads and walkways in Cle Elum. One of my most important jobs in Congress is to bring tax dollars home to help you and your communities in #WA08.
President Trump and Congressional Republicans' Big Ugly Bill has already harmed so many of my constituents, as healthcare costs are too expensive to afford, nutrition programs have been slashed, and Medicaid cuts take effect - all while billionaires get a massive tax break.
I recently met with the Association for Accessible Medicines to talk about how to lower drug prices and support our domestic medical supply chain to make healthcare accessible for all Americans.
My statement on voting against today's Republican-led insider trading and voter suppression scheme.
Data centers have skyrocketed energy costs for my constituents in #WA08. Companies should pay for grid updates and energy use, not Washingtonians, and ensure our local economies benefit from their innovation.
Now that critical healthcare tax credits have expired, thousands of Washingtonians can’t afford premiums and have dropped their health insurance altogether. I will continue my fight to restore affordable and accessible healthcare for all Americans.
Patients deserve better. That is why I am proud to introduce the bipartisan Patients First Act with Congressman John Joyce and Congressman Greg Murphy to protect access to primary care. schrier.house.gov/media/press-...
Today I met with @resultsorg.bsky.social Cascades advocates from Washington to talk about the importance of supporting global health funding and nutrition programs in our communities. Thank you for your advocacy and your work!
Americans are facing a public health crisis created by the Trump Administration. Misinformation about lifesaving medicine and cuts to the CDC have been disastrous. We are living through the worst measles outbreak in decades, and now cyclospora is rapidly spreading.
I chatted with Washington State Patrol staff at their Fire Training Academy in North Bend this week about how to improve community safety and help those impacted by ongoing fires across #WA08.
