I am humbled and proud to share this news with you - it would not have happened without your support!

This morning, my Democratic colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives chose me to be the top Democrat (the "ranking member") of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee. This is only possible because of your strong support and for that I am very grateful.

I am even more proud to share that I am the first person from Washington state to hold this position in Congress.

In the next Congress, we will work to protect and build on the successes of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the transportation provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act.

As always, our goal is to create more jobs, support working families, and make our transportation system cleaner, greener, safer, and more accessible.

Thank you again for your support. It means a lot to me, and I am looking forward to working together to make a positive impact for our region and our nation.

Stay warm and stay safe!

Rick
