We’re at a critical juncture in our country today. Too many issues have gone unaddressed for too long, hurting our economy and working families. We can’t afford to play partisan games or keep the same failed policies that created these problems in the first place. I support expanding economic opportunity, helping working families and small businesses, spurring job growth, and being fiscally responsible. I am focused on results, not rhetoric.
While our economy grew because of Democrats’ economic policies, including the expansion of the Child Tax Credit, under the Trump administration many families are struggling with rising costs including the price of gas, housing, and child care. I’m committed to creating an economy that works for everyone.
In the time he’s been back in office, Trump has brazenly violated the law, threatened the safety of our communities, and jeopardized our country’s economic security. I am fighting every single day as Chair of the DCCC to win us a majority in November 2026, so that we can hold this administration accountable.
We cannot go back to the days when someone could be denied coverage because of a pre-existing condition or when you could be charged more for coverage for simply being a woman. That’s why I have consistently voted to protect the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and build on it. I support getting America to universal quality coverage and the best way to incentivize competition is to give people a choice between public and private coverage options.
We must fix our nation’s broken immigration system so it works for families, businesses, and our economy. We must pass comprehensive immigration reform which I have championed since being sworn in to Congress and we need legal guardrails to prevent ICE from committing violence and terrorizing our communities.
The Pacific Northwest is already experiencing the impacts of climate change. Growing wildfire seasons and changing ocean conditions harm our communities and environment. We need meaningful action now to combat climate change to protect our health, wellbeing, and natural resources.
I support investing in proven community policing and crime diversion programs to keep our streets, homes, and communities safe. We can both invest in our local police forces and demand accountability from those we count on to protect us. We must also address the endemic gun violence in America so our families and communities are safe.
An extreme Republican supermajority on the Supreme Court has now stripped women of their constitutional right to an abortion. I’m a strong supporter of the Women’s Health Protection Act, a bill to guarantee everyone access to abortion care no matter which state they live in. I’m also fighting for strong, commonsense policies that address the economic challenges facing women and families.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans across the country lack access to safe, affordable housing. More than 12 million households in America pay more than half of their income in rent, while many others find housing completely out of reach—leaving them without a stable roof over their head, and often forcing them to sleep on the streets. This is unacceptable.
Social Security has been a building block of our middle class and a secure retirement. It’s created a social safety net and basic financial security for seniors. It’s an investment we’ve all made and a promise I’m committed to protecting and strengthening for all of our seniors.
Investing in our infrastructure is how we keep our economy moving. In the last year, I’ve secured funding for fifteen projects, totaling more than $21.5 million invested in the 1st Congressional District.
Trump has recklessly tried to shutter the Department of Education. I strongly oppose his illegal attempt to dismantle the department, which would slash federal funding for public schools nationwide, eliminate programs for children with disabilities, and cut programs that make attending college affordable. Let’s be clear, eliminating the Department of Education would require an act of Congress – and I will fight any effort to do so.
Fighting to protect the privacy of all of us means your personal information is protected from private entities and public ones. It’s why when President Trump gave Elon Musk and the ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ unprecedented access to your sensitive personal, financial, and health information with little oversight or accountability – it was outrageous and illegal.
