The 2026 World Cup is just around the corner, and the Pacific Northwest is ready to welcome fans from all over the world to watch great soccer.

I was in Whatcom County on Friday to see firsthand how local communities are recovering from December's floods. I am glad that today the Major Disaster Declaration was approved to help Northwest Washington communities get the federal dollars they need to recover.

Trump wanted to slash funding to put roofs over the heads of homeless veterans. Congress said no.

Big news for Washington public transportation today. Congratulations to Sound Transit on a successful Crosslake Connection opening day and I’m excited to ride across Lake Washington sometime soon.

James Fishback is emerging as a formidable Republican candidate, but his undisguised racist comments are deliberate, offensive, and beneath this state. I'm asking all candidates running for FL Governor to join me in condemning his statements. Let's all commit to a better vision for Florida.

Trump and his allies are trying to suppress voters, particularly Black Americans, and deny fair representation in Congress. Right now, they are redrawing maps and gerrymandering communities ahead of the midterms. This is an attack on democracy, and we must continue pushing back.
