It is an honor to represent the 2nd District. Our shared values – working hard, caring for each other, and serving the community – guide my work in Congress.

My role as your representative is to work for you, listen to your concerns, and stand up against the Republican Rip-off.

As Northwest Washington recovers from last month's severe flooding, I am working closely with local and federal leaders to make sure our communities get the aid they need. Last week, I joined Washington state's entire congressional delegation to request that the Trump administration unlock $21.3 million in federal FEMA resources for families whose homes were destroyed or significantly damaged in the extreme flooding that hit our state in December.

I also worked to secure the reinstatement of nearly $2 billion in funding to help fight the opioid crisis, including seven grants here in Washington.

I worked with Democrats and Republicans to demand that the Trump administration reverse its reckless and dangerous decision to cancel critical funding. I am glad the administration caved quickly, and I remain committed to supporting local efforts to combat the opioid epidemic and save lives.

I have also spent the last few weeks meeting with important community organizations and stakeholders to ensure we are laying the groundwork to win big this year. Thank you to the Snohomish County, San Juan County, Skagit County, Whatcom County, the 42nd Legislative District Democrats, and Washington State Democrats for their lively engagement and thoughtful questions.

More soon,

Rick
