Through no fault of their own, our cherry growers experienced immense challenges and economic losses last season.

I’m proud to have joined my colleagues in pushing for this disaster declaration to help our growers recover and prepare for this upcoming growing season.

I met with Mayor Kelly at Johnson's Home and Garden to try some of their famous popcorn and discuss a bill I cosponsored to stand up to retail crime and support small businesses, the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act.

I was able to meet with staff from UW Medicine's Lake Wilderness Clinic and tour their ongoing expansion.

Expanding UW Medicine into the district is important for connecting those in our community with essential care.

As a doctor, I know that telehealth is an integral resource, especially for those in rural communities.

In today’s Health Subcommittee hearing, I spoke with experts on ways telehealth benefits both patients and physicians and how to strengthen access to it.

It was great to tour local businesses in Black Diamond alongside Mayor Benson and meet with small business owners like Tori Ammons and Deanna Whiteman, owners of Sahara Pizza, Just a Little Something, and Black Bear OutPost.

I won't stop fighting for fair drug prices because even the best medications can't work if you can't afford them.

My colleagues and I have put pressure on pharmaceutical companies and successfully pushed three major manufacturers to cap out-of-pocket costs for inhalers at $35.

This is horrific.

The Arizona Supreme Court's decision is a direct and dangerous attack on women's rights and health care professionals.

As extreme Republican attacks continue to restrict abortion access, Congress must act to protect reproductive health care nationwide.

I had the chance to meet with White River High School's FFA club to hear their presentation on their Farm Bill priorities.

It's always a pleasure to connect with our next generation of farmers and learn what issues are most important to them!

It was a ton of fun serving lunch at Lake Wilderness Elementary to highlight how important nutrition is for our children's physical and academic growth.

As a pediatrician, I know how crucial this issue is, which is why I introduced the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act.

I had a great time volunteering at the Maple Valley Food Bank, connecting with staff, and gaining insights into our community's food security needs. Excited to explore further ways to work together and contribute to their vital work!

It was a pleasure to attend the Chelan Douglas Regional Port Authority's Economic Development Lunch in Wenatchee to announce the $3 million in funding for the Pangborn Airport I secured in Congress and discuss how I can continue to support the local community.
