Today we celebrate and honor those that have served in our Nation’s armed services. Thank you for ensuring the American way of life is safe and secure for future generations. Your sacrifices for our great Nation will not be forgotten. Happy Veterans Day!

Sid Morrison was a titan and an institution in Central Washington. His public service and ability to work across the aisle for the betterment of his constituents were the gold standard for an elected official. A true model of what public service should be. As a farmer and a veteran, Sid knew and understood Washington’s issues as well as anyone. I’m deeply saddened by his passing and my thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I am saddened to hear about the passing of Dr. Dan Doornink over the weekend. Not only did Dan represent the best of Central Washington on the field for the Wapato Wolves, WSU Cougars and the Seattle Seahawks, he also represented the best of Central Washington off the field through his work as a doctor, giving back to the community that raised him.

My thoughts are with his family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time.

Earlier this month, the @HanfordVitPlant reached their one-year milestone. To date, the plant has processed more than 250,000 gallons of tank waste.

There is still much work to be done at Hanford, and options like additional supplemental grouting would speed up the work being done while protecting our land and water. However, the progress being made to clean up the Hanford site is deserving of recognition and celebration, and I am proud of the progress we have made thus far.

With the announcement of @POTUS and @SecRollins’s $8 Billion Harvest Fuel Relief Program, I encourage specialty crop growers and fishermen in Washington to provide data related to increased fuel costs to [email protected].

The data provided will help inform USDA’s decision when determining payment rates.

Today marks three years since Hamas launched a full-scale terrorist attack against Israel, resulting in over 1,200 people murdered, including more than 350 at the Re’im Music Festival.

On this anniversary, it is important to remember the men, women, and children whose lives were taken during this heinous attack. Israel remains our most important ally in the Middle East, and we stand with them in solidarity against future violence.

[House Republicans @HouseGOP]

Three years ago today, Hamas terrorists murdered approximately 1,200 innocent people on one of the deadliest days for the Jewish people in history. We will NEVER forget. America must always stand with Israel and against radical Islamist terror. 🇺🇸🇮🇱

[Rep. Dan Newhouse @RepNewhouse]

Earlier today, the @FBI and @ENERGY conducted a coordinated effort to arrest an individual who allegedly exploited the trust of the U.S. Government to the benefit of a foreign terrorist organization. There is a zero tolerance policy for individuals who betray our government for the sake of terrorism and if these allegations are true, this individual should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Thank you to @FBIDirectorKash and @SecretaryWright teams for their decisive action.

Congratulations to my former Chief of Staff Jessica Carter on her recognition by @washingtonian as of one of the most powerful women in D.C! Jess is a force to be reckoned with and remains a trusted advisor. A well earned distinction!

The State of Washington supported Oregon’s and environmental groups’ litigation to increase spill and reduce power generation at dams on the Columbia and Snake Rivers, resulting in a proposed $250M surcharge from BPA.

Actions have consequences. Ratepayers are footing the bill for Attorney General Brown’s insistence on attacking our dams.

[Attorney General Nick Brown @AGOWA]

We’ve been pushing back against unfair energy rate increases around the state as costs climb. Now the Bonneville Power Administration is pushing for a change that could push costs even higher. We filed an amicus brief arguing that in the midst of an affordability crisis, the last thing customers need right now is the threat of yet another increase in prices. https://t.co/Kkq24LxR2S

Market access is key to the success of U.S. specialty crops. Thank you @IntFreshProduce for joining us at @HouseAgGOP this week to talk about the importance of programs like MAP and FMD, which have proven to be successful in establishing new markets for American producers.

[International Fresh Produce Association @IntFreshProduce]

How can we create more demand for U.S. specialty crops? It takes work at home and abroad.

IFPA’s Alexis Taylor told @RepNewhouse and @HouseAgGOP that we need to get more fruits and vegetables on Americans’ plates while breaking down trade barriers and building overseas markets.

[Rep. Dan Newhouse @RepNewhouse]

On National POW/MIA Recognition Day, we honor our service members who were captured or went missing in action while defending the freedom of our Nation.

We are forever in your debt, and we will never forget your sacrifice.

[Rep. Dan Newhouse @RepNewhouse]

This week is National Clean Energy Week! I am proud to represent Central Washington, who is at the forefront of clean and all-of-the-above energy solutions. From hydropower to nuclear, you can find it here - supporting our jobs, our communities, and our future.

[Rep. Dan Newhouse @RepNewhouse]

It was great to hear updates from @USWFS and @forestservice on the federal government’s response to wildfire. After this year’s devastating wildfire season, it is important we take a moment to reflect on the policies that worked - and what can be built upon to best protect our communities in the future.

While we work to get the proper resources and support to communities in need, please stay up to date on the fires closest to you. Thank you @WestCaucusFound for having me.

[Western Caucus Foundation @WestCaucusFound]

Our #WildfireWeek2026 policy panel with members of the @westerncaucus was a success!

Thank you to Chair @RepMaloyUtah, Chairman Emeritus @RepNewhouse, and Western Caucus Member @RepKiley for joining us on this panel.

We featured two special guests as well, Joe Majewski, Chief of Staff for the @USWFS, and AJ Bethas, deputy Director of Fire and Aviation Management @forestservice.

As Wildfire Week continues, we’re reminded just how hard our elected officials are working to support the West and those impacted by wildfires.
