October has been a busy month for Team Larsen! We have been doorbelling, listening to voters, and working to ensure we take all the steps possible to mobilize voters ahead of Election Day.

Rick's work has earned some attention this month in the press, including endorsements from both the Everett Herald and Cascadia Daily News Editorial Boards.

Rick helped to secure $2 million in funding for Habitat for Humanity of Island County. This month, the organization held a grand reopening for their store on Pioneer Way.

"After years of building affordable houses for families in need, Habitat for Humanity of Island County finally has its own home, too. The purchase was made possible with the help of U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, who earmarked over $31 million in the congressional 2023 spending package for 15 projects in the Second District...

Kolaitis said Habitat will be able to save nearly $100,000 in rent every year. Now, he and Hunt said, the nonprofit can use that money to better pursue the mission of building and preserving affordable housing."

Rick joined a roundtable discussion about the bipartisan efforts working on the FAA Reauthorization Bill.

"Larsen underscored that the overwhelming vote for the reauthorization sets a mandate for whichever administration takes office next year.

'Presidents come and go, Congress is forever,' he joked. 'In this sense, we passed the bill 387 to 26 out of the House of Representatives—and I know where those 26 people live—and with 84 out of the Senate. It sends a bicameral, bipartisan message about the bill that we passed. So, regardless of which administration comes in, they're not going to be able to come to us and say, 'Well, you didn't mean to do that.''"

Rick recently introduced a bill to help address the opioid crisis in Northwest Washington.

"On Friday, Oct. 25, U.S. Representative Rick Larsen joined local leaders to speak about collective efforts to support communities and individuals impacted by the opioid epidemic. Bellingham Mayor Kim Lund, Lummi Nation Chairman Anthony Hillaire and Whatcom County Executive Satpal Sidhu were among the speakers at the event.

Earlier this week, Larsen introduced the Closing the Substance Use Care Gap Act, which focused on harm reduction and expanding access to lifesaving programs and treatments. The bill is the most recent of Larsen's four-pillar framework for fighting the opioid crisis."
