August has been a busy month in Northwest Washington. I have spent time meeting with local leaders, visiting community organizations, listening to your concerns, and working to bring federal dollars home to the communities I represent.

We're just 65 days out from Election Day, and Rick needs our help to get out the vote across Northwest Washington. Right now, Team Larsen is organizing volunteers for canvassing and doorbelling. Will you sign up to volunteer or chip in a few bucks to sponsor a volunteer?

As we celebrate the many victories this day stands to commemorate, including movements toward pay equality, the advancement of women in underrepresented fields, and acknowledging the achievements of women and girls, we must consider the work still ahead of us, particularly as allies.
