Last year, the Trump administration returned to office and immediately set its agenda with the Republican Rip-Off. This past year has been a test of our democracy and our strength to stand up for our Northwest Washington values.

The Republican Rip-Off attacked access to affordable health care, clawed back SNAP benefits, and gutted critical services and programs.

Last week, the Trump administration repealed the Endangerment Finding, which is the scientific determination that gives the United States government the authority to combat climate change.

Protecting Washington's environment is a top priority of mine. The Trump administration's decision to ignore established science about climate change is reckless, stupid, and dangerous.

Last month, the Joint Economic Committee published a report outlining higher costs for Washington families in 2025 because of the Trump administration. Not just in Washington, but all across the country, because of the inflation that has occurred since Trump took office, the average household has paid $1,625 in higher costs.

The average family in Washington spent a whopping $2,008 more in 2025 than they did in 2024 because of the Trump administration's failing economic policies.
