Representative Rick Larsen

I spoke on the phone with FEMA’s Acting Admin yesterday. So far FEMA has done a good job providing support to communities impacted by flooding. I will continue to advocate for FEMA to deploy case managers on the ground ASAP to help people get their lives back on track.

Larsen Introduces Legislation to Improve Veterans’ Access to Transportation, Health Care

I am proud to introduce the Veterans Access to Transit Act, which is one important step toward ensuring NW WA’s 47k veterans can access timely, quality health care. Learn more: larsen.house.gov/news/documen... (2/2)

Local veterans have told me consistently that lack of transportation is a significant barrier to health care, especially in rural and island communities. (1/2)

On this week’s Recap with Rick: I am leading two transportation bills that will benefit Northwest Washington communities.

Stern tests coming but very manageable group for USMNT. I like our chances to move well into the knockout stage.

Cheering for a good draw for the USMNT!

I introduced legislation this week help World Cup host cities like Seattle improve transportation ⚽️🇺🇸

My 2025 Spotify Wrapped 🎶🎸🎧

The World Cup needs world-class infrastructure to ensure teams and their fans can safely travel to and from every game. That’s why we’re unlocking millions of dollars in funding for host cities - like Seattle - to improve their transportation infrastructure before the opening whistle.

USMNT’s success on the field is inevitable, and the Transportation Assistance for Olympic and World Cup Cities Act makes sure the United States succeeds off the field, too.

Refugees and humanitarian nonprofits that support refugees should not be punished because of the actions of one violent person.

I am proud to have helped secure more than $50 million to improve and expand bus service across Northwest Washington state.

My thoughts are with the family of Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, and with Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe as he fights for his life.

Happy Thanksgiving!

NW WA has always answered the call to serve, and I will hold the Navy and the Administration accountable to do the same by investing in the fleet, in the workforce, and in the future of Naval Station Everett.

I will continue to ensure that decisions about ship homeporting sustain jobs for NW WA and keep our country safe.

An update from the Olympic Pipeline leak in the Snohomish River Valley.

Some highlights of my work last week fighting for Northwest Washington state.

It is time for the Administration to get serious and work with Ukraine and our European allies to develop a real peace plan that restores Ukraine's borders and gives Ukrainians the freedom to choose their own leaders and future.

The Administration's proposed ‘peace plan' for Ukraine is a gift to Putin that asks Ukraine to sacrifice its land, military strength and future in NATO while asking Russia to sacrifice nothing.
