This week, I voted for the highest level of funding in history for our veterans. I’m committed to making sure our nation’s heroes have the best care imaginable.

As prescription drugs costs continue to skyrocket, I'm leading on solutions to bring transparency to drug pricing.

As a warrior for human dignity and human value, I will always stand against violence, especially violence for the purpose of oppressing people. My hope is for my daughters and others to live in a world where they are safe from harm and empowered to reach their full potential.

Today in the Spokesman-Review: How I'm working to help students and reduce student debt.

Small business optimism is at the highest level…ever.

Today, the House passed the second stage of our infrastructure agenda to rebuild our ports, dams, and waterways. I testified in support of this legislation and my Port of Whitman Economic Expansion Act that was included. Watch here:

Here in Washington state, the average wage increase has hit a 10 year high, and a new study, just showed Washington state is leading this year’s uptick in personal income growth.

We are creating jobs and as companies are having to compete for workers, they are increasing wages and benefits.

Layoffs at their lowest level since 1969. Our policies are making the economy boom and providing opportunities to people here in our community.

The House was back in session this week. See what bills were on the floor and how I voted here:
