RICK LARSEN (Democrat)

Second Congressional District

Elected Experience

I began trying to make a difference through public service on the Snohomish County Council, and today, it is my privilege to serve as the Representative for Washington's 2nd Congressional District.

Other Professional Experience

I was previously employed by the Port of Everett and the Washington State Dental Association.

Education

I graduated from Pacific Lutheran University in Washington state and have a master's degree from the University of Minnesota.

Community Service

My parents were an important influence on me, encouraging me to be involved in my local community. Their encouragement continues to be a motivation for my service to our communities.

Statement

I am proud to serve the people of Northwest Washington. Representing your voice In Congress is the honor of a lifetime. Our region is special, and so are our neighbors. Your strength and resilience are what motivate me to fight on your behalf every day in the other Washington. Here is why our fight must continue.

You deserve an economy that works for you. Passing the CARES Act in 2020 created an economy on the mend. Passing the American Rescue Plan and infrastructure bill in 2021 created an economy on the move, with low unemployment and strong economic growth. We must now focus on inflation and pass Democrats' plan to lower everyday costs, including health care, child care, and gas.

You deserve limits on corporate power. This means preventing companies from generating record-high profits on your back by raising record-high prices. It means requiring all corporations to pay their fair share in taxes. And it means getting the power of big money out of our politics and returning power to you.

You deserve a sustainable environment. This means protecting our natural resources, which are critical to existing local jobs that rely on our water, land, and wildlife. It also means reducing carbon emissions, which is the key both to reversing climate change and to creating future local jobs that rely on clean energy. And, with women's reproductive rights under threat, women everywhere deserve federal legislation that protects their right to choose.

I was born and raised here, and my wife and I are the parents of two boys who represent the fifth generation of Larsens born in this district, I take the future of this community as personally as you do. I am committed to building an economy that creates more jobs and opportunities for all. I ask for your support.

Thank you for your support!
