The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act is a bold and comprehensive approach to hold police accountable, end racial profiling, and build trust between law enforcement and our communities to help save lives.

It's past time for this bill to become law.

Today marks two years since the tragedy at Uvalde, where 19 students and two teachers were fatally shot, and 17 others were injured.

This tragedy should have never happened and should never happen again.

We must pass comprehensive gun safety legislation.

Earlier this week I visited Fusion Housing, a nonprofit that provides transitional housing and shelter for families in South King County.

I got a tour of their family shelter and they gave me an overview of their services, including their workforce development opportunities.

The PACT Act is helping veterans injured by toxic exposure get the benefits they deserve.

Over 1 MILLION claims have been approved, and 34,686 claims have been received in Washington.

House Democrats will keep fighting for veterans and their families.

Cleaner fuels, strong sustainability goals, and improved energy efficiency at airports.

These are just a few of the environmental wins in this year's FAA Reauthorization, which was signed into law by the President yesterday.

Legislation on the floor this week would force the Admin to immediately send 2k & 500lb bombs to Israel.
It would set a dangerous precedent—removing checks, oversight, and accountability.
We cannot write a blank check to unconditionally send weapons, no matter how close a friend.

The health of airport communities is a key priority of mine, so I introduced a bill that requires a study on airborne ultrafine particles and their effects on human health.

Glad to share that a modified version of my bill was included in the FAA Reauthorization the House passed.

Seniors on Medicare are no longer vulnerable to outrageous insulin price hikes, thanks to the ’s $35/month cap on insulin.

That’s real savings for millions of Americans. And not one Republican supported it.

The Biden Administration's and my support for Israel has been ironclad and clear from Day 1 – Israel has the right to defend itself from the existential threat that Hamas poses.

Our concern with using 2k & 500lb bombs in heavily populated areas is also clear and correct.

North SeaTac Park is an essential part of our community.

I'm proud to say that the House just sent a bill to the President's desk with a provision that enables North SeaTac Park to be permanently protected.

I am deeply disturbed by reports that Israeli protestors blocked and looted aid trucks headed into Gaza.

This is unacceptable and I agree with the WH that we must look at every tool we have at our disposal to respond to this. Aid must be delivered. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Rather than forcing the immediate shipment of 2k & 500lb bombs, we should be empowering the President to have the time and space to support Israel as it defends against legitimate threats in a targeted way and work to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

On May 28, my office is hosting a Small Business Webinar with a special guest from the Small Business Administration.

We will focus on Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) funding, and how small businesses can get these loans forgiven.
