In 26 counties across Washington, more than half of children are covered by Medicaid. Britton is one of many parents who rely on Medicaid to keep a child alive. I encourage members of Congress to listen to his story. Lives are at stake in this vote.

Medicaid touches health care in every stage of life, for Washingtonians in every corner of our state. Federal cuts to Medicaid would be felt by all Washingtonians, regardless of ZIP code or party affiliation.

Honored to be at the unveiling of Hall of Famer Lenny Wilkens’ statue outside of Climate Pledge. I also had the chance to show him my Player of the Day plaque from attending his basketball camp in 1979. Lenny is more than a basketball legend. His dedication to Washington

Big news for fixing our ferry system: After careful consideration and conversations with legislative leaders, I selected Eastern Shipbuilding Group to build 3 new hybrid-electric boats. Eastern is the best option to build these critically important vessels at a fair cost to

The Trump Administration's use of Washingtonians’ private health information for its own political agenda is outrageous. This is a violation of trust for everyone whose data was inappropriately shared, but especially our immigrant communities and mixed-status families, who are

The MAGA Congress just passed devastating cuts that will take Medicaid from 250,000 Washingtonians. Washington's Reps. Baumgartner and Newhouse voted in favor of the cruel cuts, which will disproportionately affect their constituents in Eastern and Central Washington.

Every Washingtonian on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will see benefits reduced. 130,000 could lose their benefits altogether. Trump and the MAGA Congress’s reconciliation bill takes food from our most vulnerable Washingtonians to give tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy.

Energy rollbacks from the MAGA Congress will cost Washington billions in lost investments, raise energy costs, and put thousands of jobs — many in rural communities — at risk. This bill is a fossil fuel wish list that penalizes clean energy and favors pollution.

Planned Parenthood provides important care to Medicaid patients, including preventative care and cancer screenings. Washington state will backfill the funding gap caused by the federal attempt to defund Planned Parenthood if their legal challenge is not successful. We will do

Medicaid is one of the primary payers for Planned Parenthood, covering life-saving services like preventative care and cancer screenings. Medicaid funds, in fact, cannot be used to pay for abortion services. We will ensure that care continues here in Washington.

I've seen a lot in 20 years of politics. This Big Betrayal of a bill is about as bad as it gets. We're going to work together and do everything we can to preserve core services, including critical care from Planned Parenthood.

Great to be on the inaugural sailing of the hybrid electric Wenatchee today. We're on track for this vessel to be serving Washingtonians on the Bainbridge route next week. This is the final step to restoring full, domestic service to pre-pandemic levels.

The Wenatchee is the biggest hybrid-electric ferry in the country, and the first to be converted to hybrid-electric power. Governor Inslee's vision brought us to this moment. Grateful to him and Trudi for joining me today to celebrate and see the Wenatchee in action. We can

Bringing the Wenatchee back online is the final piece of the puzzle to restoring full, domestic service to pre-pandemic levels. We're going to keep working to improve our ferry system. Washingtonians, especially in our island communities, need service they can count on.

Traffic at our ports is down. Our agricultural industry — a cornerstone of Washington’s economy — has seen a steep drop in shipments. Longstanding trade relationships are fraying. Costs for business are increasing while our global market is shrinking. Now, with 50% tariffs on

Just rode the ferry back from a great town hall on Orcas Island with over 100 people. We're taking your feedback, and we're going to keep improving our system.
