Proudly representing the people of Washington State’s 8th District. Pediatrician. Mom.

My thoughts are with all of our community members impacted by catastrophic wildfires in Spokane, and across Eastern and Central Washington. Our brave first responders have acted swiftly to keep families, loved ones, and properties safe as evacuations continue.

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 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.

My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and the entire Seattle community in the wake of last night’s horrific shooting at Seattle Center. I'm grateful to the law enforcement and first responders who bravely arrived to scene to help.

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.
