Touring the Group14 Technologies facility in Moses Lake earlier this week was a great experience.

While there, I saw the remarkable advancements they have been working on in the silicon battery technology space, and saw firsthand the steps being taken towards a more renewable future.

I always enjoy seeing the economic development and job creation in Central Washington, and look forward to seeing their continued progress.

It was great visiting with everyone at the Prosser Chamber of Commerce monthly luncheon this week, including Executive Director Lindsee Curfman and President Dakota Renz.

The Prosser Chamber is constantly innovating and striving to continue economic progress, and I look forward to hearing updates from those who make that work possible.

Thank you for having me!

This week, I attended the Veteran's Stammtisch bi-monthly breakfast.

It was great catching up with the veterans of Central Washington and getting to hear their concerns directly.

Thank you for having me and sharing some of your stories, and know that I will never stop fighting for our veterans in Congress.

Yesterday, I toured the Pasco Airport with Randy Hayden, Executive Director of the Port of Pasco, and Buck Taft, Director of Pasco Airport.

Seeing the plans for their air traffic control tower relocation and the terminal expansion made it clear that they are prioritizing accommodating the continued influx of passengers and looking towards the future of our region.

I look forward to our continued partnership.

I had a very productive visit with everyone at the Yakima Chamber Empower Hour this week.

While there, I discussed border security, federal spending, agriculture, healthcare, and more.

The importance of small businesses in our community cannot be overstated, and I want to thank the Yakima Chamber for all the good work that they do.
