That’s what it looks like when one candidate has a vision for moving our country forward and another has nothing to say.

.@EmilyRandallWA has been a terrific partner over the years and a great State Senator. In Congress, she will help protect reproductive freedom and fight for working folks across our region.

I just made a contribution to her campaign - join me: https://t.co/1fwi3fV8ET

I served with @Tim_Walz and he was absolutely the go-to guy on veterans issues. Countless times, I went to him for guidance on legislation to try to get stuff done for those who served. He was - and is - just a stand up guy who likes to get things done. Great pick! #HarrisWalz

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

I am proud to announce that I've asked @Tim_Walz to be my running mate.

As a governor, a coach, a teacher, and a veteran, he's delivered for working families like his.

It's great to have him on the team.

Now let’s get to work. Join us:

The stakes of this election could not be higher. I believe VP @KamalaHarris can – and must – win at the ballot box in November. I support her, and I will do everything I can to help elect her so we can unite our country and build a better future for all Americans #LetsWinThis

My deepest sympathies to Sherry Appleton's friends and loved ones.

We joined the State House at the same time in 2004. She was a champion for our environment, our kids' futures, and our seniors. Sherry had a passion for making a difference, and I'm thankful to have known her.

I firmly believe that our democracy flourishes when we prioritize the interests of the American people above all else. The American people deserve a Congress that works FOR them, void of partisan political games. https://t.co/HnM3OYsC1b

Whether securing infrastructure funding, supporting small businesses, protecting democracy, or tackling climate change, I have always believed the path forward relies on bipartisanship.

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day, friends!

On this Indigenous Peoples' Day, I invite you to join me in celebrating the resilience and contributions of the nearly 600 federally recognized Tribal communities in the U.S.

First, we faced a debt ceiling crisis.

Then, the threat of a government shutdown.

Now, Speaker McCarthy's gone, leaving Congress in a gridlock.

It's time to get our nation back on track by rejecting extremism and finding common ground to move forward.

We've received $18.3 million in federal grants for fish passage projects in Kitsap!

Protecting our environment is a top priority, and these funds will ensure safe migration for our salmon and help to restore fish passage and population capacity. https://t.co/faGnaa2qUr
