365 days ago

Rick Larsen for Congress     Three hundred and sixty five days ago, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris raised their right hands and were sworn into office. It was a big, bright, hopeful day that arrived just two weeks after one of the darkest days in American history. After some of th…

The fight to defend our democracy continues

Rick Larsen for Congress     here is what is happening in the fight to secure our elections, protect the right to vote, and defend our democracy: Yesterday, the House voted on a bill that combines the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. We sent…

Before the ball drops tonight:

Rick Larsen for Congress     This is it. Before you pop that nice bottle of sparkling wine (from one of our fine Washington wineries, right?) at midnight, I need you to take care of this one last thing: We are soooo close to meeting the $5000 match from our friends at Progressiv…

One last thing to do before the end of the year

Rick Larsen for Congress     I am counting on you. You know how critical it is that Democrats win in 2022. We must continue to defend voting rights. We must make progress on climate change. We must keep up the pressure on the Senate to follow through on the critical work we are …

Sign my petition: protect Roe v. Wade

Rick Larsen for Congress     I am gravely concerned about the future of safe and legal abortions across America. Far-right legislatures in states like Mississippi and Texas are pushing hard to overturn Roe v. Wade, and they are getting major help from the Supreme Court. I will…

House Democrats lead the way

Rick Larsen for Congress     I know that politics can sometimes be frustrating to watch – it is for me, too! – so I thought I would share with you the highlights of what we accomplished in the House of Representatives this year. House Democrats fought the pandemic and helped f…

A battleground in our backyard

Rick Larsen for Congress     Kim Schrier is more than just a terrific member of Congress. She is our neighbor, a Democratic champion from the Seattle suburbs all the way over to Wenatchee. Now that we have got new maps, we have a full picture of Kim's battleground. And this ele…

A new district is a new opportunity to work for you.

Rick Larsen for Congress     By now, you have likely heard that congressional district boundaries are changing across the nation due to population shifts as determined by the Census. And last week, Washington state finalized our maps in this process. What does redistricting mea…

Supreme Court to hear the biggest abortion case yet.

Rick Larsen for Congress     Today, the Supreme Court heard arguments on the Mississippi law which bans abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. This case is right-wing activists' most egregious attempt yet to gut Roe v. Wade. And we cannot let them get away with it. Donate Now F…

Sign the petition: Abolish the debt ceiling

Rick Larsen for Congress     The debt ceiling needs to be eliminated. Politicians have been weaponizing the debt ceiling as long as it has existed, and it is wrong. This has been especially true in the time after Donald Trump's presidency, where we saw tax cuts for the wealthi…

Where 2022 differs from the last two elections

Rick Larsen for Congress     The harsh political reality is that none of us really knows how the 2022 midterm elections are going to go. Yes, Washingtonians sharply rebuked Donald Trump's disastrous agenda in 2018 and once again in 2020, but that will not stop his allies from k…

An update on our efforts to protect women’s reproductive health

Rick Larsen for Congress     The date has been set. The Supreme Court will hear arguments on December 1 that could allow the end of Roe v. Wade as we know it. And since our last update, the Texas near-total abortion ban has emboldened other states to pursue similar action - furthe…

Washington must NOT become Texas

Without child care, we will not get America back to work
