I visited Concrete High School this week to discuss funding I requested to update their boilers and HVAC equipment from the 1970s. I will keep working to bring federal dollars home to help local students and schools.

Reauthorizing the Northwest Straits Commission ensures that local communities can continue their work to restore marine environments and support local jobs. I am glad that my bill passed the House and I will keep working to protect Northwest Washington ecosystems.

This weekend, I helped cut the ribbon at Olmsted Park in Sedro-Woolley. I brought home $500,000 in federal dollars to help bring the park to life, and I'm glad that the community will be able to use this new space to play soccer, fish, picnic and more.

This week's Recap with Rick: good news for aviation safety and building local infrastructure to withstand natural disasters, and a heartfelt thanks to workers at TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA and DHS.

Happy 75th Birthday to Washington State Ferries.

Elissa Slotkin: "Trump has conducted military operations in 9 places in 15 months. That's more than any President in history. He's shown that he is willing to use force. You can have a debate on if that's a good thing or a bad thing."
