Last week, we affirmed the election results to ensure a peaceful transfer of power from one administration to another. Every January 6th, every four years, Congress meets to perform a perfunctory action of certifying the Electoral College. Unfortunately, four years ago, others used the day to riot and deface the Capitol. January 6 is now a day to remember that democracy bent but did not break.
Now, our work in Congress continues. In recent years, we have invested in improving Washington's infrastructure and economy. In my time on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I have worked hard to bring home federal money for critical transportation projects like earthquake safety upgrades for roads and bridges in Skagit County and Lynnwood; safe routes to school for Lynden; and road improvements that will make possible a green technology center in Everett. In Washington state, transportation means jobs. You cannot have a big league economy with a little league infrastructure.
This session, as the ranking Democrat on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I will continue to work with my colleagues and support bipartisan efforts that help the people of Northwest Washington and the United States.
We have a difficult road ahead of us, and we face unprecedented challenges. We may have setbacks, but here is what I know: our shared values – working hard, caring for each other, and serving the community – will always guide my work in Congress to serve the people of Northwest Washington.
More soon,
Rick
