The United States and Canada have been strong allies for decades, and I intend to continue building our relationship. I sat down with Canadian Consul General Craig Weichel in my District Office to discuss how we can grown our partnership in the our community.

I introduced the Welcome Back to the Health Care Workforce Act alongside @congressmanraja.bsky.social to help address the nation's persistent health care workforce shortage by helping internationally educated health care professionals overcome barriers to practicing in the United States.

Investing in early childhood education sets our children up for a future of success, so I appreciated Refugee Women's' Alliance and Low Income Housing Institute for giving me a tour of their Early Learning and Affordable Housing Complex. Thanks for showing me around.

I was proud to introduce the Educators for America Act and Building Community in America Act alongside Sen. Mark Kelly to expand pathways for Americans to serve as teachers, mentors, and volunteers. These bills strengthen paid teaching opportunities and national service programs to recruit more men.

My statement on my vote in support of Rep. Massie's Amendment #8.

My father, a baggage handler at SeaTac Airport, bought our family home in 1971 for $15,000. Today, that very same house would cost $526,000. Hedge funds and wealthy corporations continue to buy up single-family homes, kicking working-class Americans out of the housing market.

It’s time to remove Donald Trump from office.

President Trump really is an authoritarian who wants to grab as much power for himself as possible.

President Trump is not dealing with reality.

This is not what a democratically elected president should be focused on.

Yesterday, I attended the groundbreaking of the Homestead Community Land Trust, a new affordable homeownership project located in Rainier Beach. Their facility will have eight permanently affordable three-bedroom townhouses, providing opportunities to those in our district. Great work here.

Donald Trump is not connected to reality.

Thanks to HomeSight for speaking with me about improving affordable housing in the Ninth District and across the country.

Thank you to Villa Comunitaria for stopping by my District Office to tell me about their dedication to the people of South King County.

The war with Iran was a terrible idea.

There have been enormous costs to the war with Iran, only to have us back where we started.

Thanks to Friends of Little Saigon for bringing together Councilmember Eddie Lin, Seattle Department of Neighborhoods, Seattle Police Department, and Purpose Dignity Action to discuss the issues Little Saigon faces, from homelessness and substance abuse to organized criminal activity.

Yesterday, I visited the Renton Municipal Airport to tour their facility, meet with staff, and discuss current challenges. The airport has undergone reconstruction and safety operation upgrades, so it was great to see the changes the federal dollars have had in Renton. Thanks for having me.

My statement on the arrest of U.S. Air Force Major Watson.

There is a real desire within the Democratic coalition to fight back against Trump more effectively and to go after income inequality more aggressively.

President Trump acts more like an authoritarian than a democratically elected president of a constitutional republic.

Americans are dealing with higher costs, and every policy the Trump administration puts into place drives those costs up.

Donald Trump walked right into this trap with Iran.

Congress passed a bipartisan solution to housing last week that the President has refused to sign. Any incentives to increase the supply of housing and improve equity for working-class families is a positive. This bill must be passed.

Congratulations to Aurelia, the Congressional Art Competition Winner for Washington’s Ninth District. It was great to host you and your family in Washington D.C. and celebrate your piece that will be hung in the U.S. Capitol for the next year.

Last week, I joined my colleagues in the Washington delegation in urging the USDA and Forest Service to keep two Washington state research labs open.

We need to bring down the cost of housing. Petty, partisan politics shouldn’t get in the way of one of the first bipartisan accomplishments of this Congress.

I never thought the bombing campaign was going to break the Iranian regime and bring them to heal.

It should be easier for working families to buy homes.

One of the jobs I am most proud of as a member of Congress is nominating brave, smart Washingtonians to our service academies. I had the chance to meet with last year’s academy nominees to hear about the great work they’re doing to support our country’s military.
