As your member of Congress, my job is to listen to your perspectives and experiences and lead legislation and advocacy in Washington, D.C., that improves our communities here in Northwest Washington.
Looking back on 2025, I hosted five town halls with more than 83,000 people attending, watching and listening in total. I had 313 meetings and events in Northwest Washington state and 315 meetings and events in Washington, D.C. I received more than 310,000 messages (2.1 times as many as I received in 2024) and responded to 103,000 of them (2.4 times as many as 2024).
In 2025, my team helped 304 people navigate the Internal Revenue Service, the Social Security Administration, the immigration system and other federal agencies, returning $13.9 million to the people we helped. If you are working with a federal agency and are not receiving an answer in a timely fashion, our office may be able to assist you in resolving the problem or getting more information.
