Happy New Year! Last Saturday marked one year of the 119th Congress, and my priorities this year remain focused on Northwest Washington. It is an honor to represent the 2nd District — one that I never take for granted.

This past year was difficult as we stood up for our values against the Republican Rip-Off and their attacks on critical programs like Job Corps, local infrastructure, food assistance programs like SNAP, and affordable health care.

We faced the longest government shutdown in history. During that shutdown, federal workers like air traffic controllers and TSA agents did not receive paychecks, but many continued to show up to work to keep the flying public safe.

At the end of the year, Western Washington experienced historic flooding that we are still continuing to recover from.

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 in 2024). I listened to your concerns about this administration and brought your stories with me to fight for our values.

This year, we have an opportunity to take back the House in the November election. We have to start building our momentum now.

Will you donate $3 and help us turn the tide in the upcoming election?

Together, we can take on the Republican Rip-Off and win back the House. Your perspective matters to me, and I am here to serve you as your representative.

More soon,

Rick
