Thank you to the American Medical Association for having me at your National Advocacy Conference to speak on the importance of protecting healthcare access for Americans

I met with Pierce County Executive Ryan Mello yesterday to discuss priorities for the new year. Thank you for your advocacy to ensure communities back home have the transportation, economic, and environmental infrastructure they need.

My statement on tonight's State of the Union address:

Trump is lying about making healthcare more affordable – he’s skyrocketed costs for millions of Americans and is making us sicker.

His Big Ugly Bill has already forced tens of thousands of Washingtonians to lose their health insurance.

Now, millions are unable to access the care they need. Trump’s policies have failed American families.

Make no mistake – for around 10% of the cost of his billionaire handouts, Trump could have extended the critical health care tax credits that helped millions of hardworking Americans afford their insurance.

I want Trump to know that I won’t stand idly by and allow Congress to rubber-stamp his dangerous policies that make life harder for my constituents.

I’m attending the State of the Union with my guest, Dr. Rebecca Partridge, a pediatrician from Washington State, to bring attention to the immense damage the Trump Administration has done to our nation’s health care system by gutting key programs and stripping away care for millions of Americans.

Congresswoman Schrier Leads Colleagues in Call to Protect Women, Children by Removing Anti-vax OB/GYNs from Vaccine Panel WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Representatives Kim Schrier, MD (WA-08), Suzan DelBene (WA-01), Brad Schneider (IL-10), and Kelly Morrison, MD (MN-03) led 44 of their colleagues in calling for the removal of ...

I joined @repdelbene.bsky.social, @repschneider.bsky.social and @kellymorrisonmn.bsky.social in leading 44 of our colleagues to call for the removal of these appointees.

RFK Jr. appointed two anti-vax OB/GYNs to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. These new members are conspiracy theorists and have no business shaping public health policy for the American people – especially for women and children.

Thank you Issaquah High School for letting me speak to your civics students and answer their thoughtful questions about current events and working in Congress.

I am so inspired by our young leaders and our amazing local teachers!
