What we must do to make life better for more Americans

Rick Larsen for Congress     I will be direct as we push closer to the end of the month: will you chip in $3 ahead of the official federal fundraising deadline on June 30? The MAGA Republicans are bent on denying nearly every aspect of our Democratic agenda – to cut the …

Democracy itself is at stake.

Rick Larsen for Congress     I am appalled at what has been revealed so far by the January 6 committee. The conspiracy to overthrow the election after Donald Trump lost the 2020 election? It was not isolated, limited to just a few people taking matters into their own hand…

What the abortion decision means for Washingtonians

Rick Larsen for Congress     This is a dark day for America. Like you, I am outraged by the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. This decision not only radically constrains reproductive freedom in frightening and dangerous ways, it strikes a blow to our basic…

The people demand action on gun violence

Rick Larsen for Congress     Shock. Pain. Anger. Determination. Those are the emotions we have all felt since we learned of the children murdered in Uvalde, Texas almost exactly one month ago. And it is that last one – determination – that drives me today. In the House, we…

Taking on polluters, the NRA, and MAGA Republicans

This law would have saved lives

Rick Larsen for Congress     Gun violence has visited far too many schools across the country, from right here in Marysville to Newtown, Connecticut; Parkland, Florida; and most recently, in Uvalde, Texas. It is long past time for Congress to take action – and Democrats i…

Together, we must end these tragedies

Rick Larsen for Congress     We cannot look away at this moment of history or pretend that thoughts and prayers are the only things we can offer as gun violence ravages our country. Because, as a nation, we see what happens when those who wish to hurt others have access t…

The Senate failed us yesterday

Rick Larsen for Congress     Yesterday, the Senate voted against the Women's Health Protection Act. The WHPA would protect abortion rights nationwide, no matter what the Supreme Court does. Enshrined in the Roe v. Wade decision is not just the right to an abortion, but elemental…

I will always stand up for abortion and reproductive rights

Rick Larsen for Congress     Last night's revelation of a draft Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade is jarring and, if it stands, will be an outrageous attack on women across America. In far too many states, automatic trigger laws will go into effect the moment Roe v.…

Sign the petition: Defend Roe v. Wade

Rick Larsen for Congress     Late last year, the Supreme Court refused to step in when Texas banned abortions. Now, states like Oklahoma and Idaho have followed suit, in anticipation of them possibly repealing Roe v. Wade by the summer. I am outraged. And I know you are too. I a…
