Representative for Washington State's 9th District.
American consumers are being forced to pay more for everyday essentials — from coffee and ground beef to bananas and more. My constituents can't afford higher grocery bills in the checkout line. We need President Trump to reverse his chaotic policies for the sake of working-class families.

Rep. Smith: The second video shows the remains of that boat. They were clinging to what remained of it. They were not armed. They did not have communications devices. There was no evidence that cocaine survived. Why do you think they won't release this one? Because it looks bad for them.

Not only are tariffs taking on added costs to American consumers, but they’re also pushing our allies closer to our adversaries. President Trump is violating the Constitution with these unlawful tariffs, while threatening our economy and national security.
Trump’s tariffs are pushing Canada closer to China and India
Prime Minister Mark Carney has promised to double non-U.S. exports by 2035. That means making up with two of Canada’s greatest adversaries.
