Ensuring Northwest Washington's values and priorities are well-represented in Congress.

Earlier this month, tens of thousands of voters made their voices heard in the 2nd District, and regardless of who they voted for, they have participated in and strengthened our democracy. For days since the primary election, I have felt energized by the results. 

With this victory behind us, our work is only accelerating. This fall, our community’s shared values ​​— working hard, caring for each other, and serving the community — are on the ballot. The stakes could not be higher. 

I am running for re-election so I can continue to work to protect reproductive freedom, combat fentanyl in our communities, build an economy that works for everyone, increase access to health care, and support our veterans.

I am proud of the progress we have made — but I know there is more work to be done. Over the next few months, I will work every day to communicate with voters about the urgency of this moment and Democrats’ vision for the future. 

Together, we can build on the momentum of this victory as November approaches and ensure Northwest Washington's values and priorities are well-represented in Congress. 

With heartfelt gratitude,

Rick
