Surprise! We have a shot at flipping a red seat in Washington

This is the choice we face:

Rick Larsen for Congress     Now that the primary is behind us, I am in a head-to-head race with a radical, extremist Republican. We are waging an all hands on deck grassroots campaign to beat my opponent and show MAGA Republicans that their extremist ideology has no home…

Delivering for Northwest Washington

Rick Larsen for Congress     It is no secret that Washington D.C. is broken. Too many politicians spend more time on their favorite cable "news" shows than they do working for the people. Not me. I wake up every morning dedicated to making sure that Northwest Washington is…

Are you better off than you were two years ago?

Rick Larsen for Congress     Last week, on the House floor, GOP leader Kevin McCarthy asked us, "Are Americans better off than they were two years ago?" Yes, we are! Two years ago – in the summer of 2020 – COVID was raging and vaccines were months away, over ten million A…

Working hard for working families

Rick Larsen for Congress     Workers are the heart of the economy. It is workers who move goods and provide services. And workers create jobs by spending their wages. So when I get asked by voters how we can fix the economy, my answer is simple: put workers first. Since P…

A major endorsement, one I am deeply proud of

Rick Larsen for Congress     The 2022 election is shaping up to be a historic fight for civil rights. On one side, we have a party that largely is trying to strip them away – from safe and legal access to abortion to marriage equality, to everything in between. The other …

Democracy itself is at stake.

What the abortion decision means for Washingtonians

I will always stand up for abortion and reproductive rights
