Today I shared my thanks for those who run toward danger, committed to bringing their spirit with me — as I fight against the dangerous cuts to FEMA and Medicare and ambulance reimbursement, the callous immigration raids at emergency response sites, to protect health care for all of our neighbors.

Who inspires me to fight for our community in DC? The PEOPLE in our community — especially the brave first responders like East Jefferson Fire Rescue, the fire crews who battle wildfires like Bear Gulch & Tunnel Creek, the community leaders who rally neighborhoods for emergency preparedness. (2/

10 days of a Republican government shutdown is 10 days too long.

Powerful conversations in Grays Harbor with families facing impossible choices because of rising premiums and looming Medicaid cuts. From disability services to cancer survivors, people are scared. Health care shouldn't bankrupt you, which is why I am fighting to cancel the cuts.

Speaker Johnson won't swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva — who won her election two weeks ago — because she'd be the 218th vote to force the release of the Epstein files. Arizona’s 7th District deserves representation, particularly in the midst of a government shutdown. Swear her in. Release the files.

Democrats want to get back to work for the American people. We want to reopen the government, lower costs, save health care coverage, and deliver for our neighbors. Enough is enough.

Funny how Republicans are willing to shut down the government, hurt working families, and play with Americans’ health care, all to avoid releasing the Epstein files. Makes you wonder what they're hiding. End the shutdown. Release the files.

Federal workers keep our communities safe, our national parks open, and essential services running.

I’m Proud to co-lead the Federal Employee Civil Relief Act to protect federal workers from evictions, foreclosures, and loan defaults when they're forced to work without pay.

Latina Equal Pay Day marks how far into 2025 Latinas must work to earn what white men earned in 2024. That gap isn't just a statistic — it's rent and groceries for families across our country. I'm committed to closing the gap and building an economy that works for everyone.

I visited trailheads damaged by the Bear Gulch Fire firsthand and spoke with volunteers and federal workers about the road ahead. Our federal workers are doing their best to keep us safe while working without pay — the least we can do is look out for each other and make their jobs a little easier.

A Republican government shutdown won’t stop me from showing up for my neighbors. It was great to attend OysterFest in Shelton to hear your concerns and connect with the incredible nonprofits and organizations that keep our community strong.

Federal employees are not bargaining chips. 27,000 workers in our district deserve their paychecks and a government that protects their health care. I’m proud to stand with labor leaders & community partners to demand better for our neighbors.

October 3rd. Three days too many of a Republican shutdown.

I stood with labor leaders and community partners today to say: federal employees are not bargaining chips. They're nurses, park rangers, and shipyard workers doing mission-critical work. They deserve to be paid without politically motivated layoffs hanging over them.

Handing out coffee to PSNS workers this morning. You show up every day to keep our fleet ready — you deserve to be paid on time. Our shipyard workers are the backbone of our national defense. I'm fighting to get you the pay and respect you've earned.

Thanks to the 18,000+ neighbors who joined our tele-town hall last night! I always want to hear your thoughts and opinions — especially during a government shutdown, when so much is at stake. Your voices guide my work every single day. I’m grateful to represent a community that shows up and engages.

Republicans have shut down our government — a shutdown that no one wants.

The federal government has shut down. I’m here in DC and ready to work on a plan that cancels cuts, lowers costs, and saves health care for Americans.

Join me TONIGHT for a tele-town hall. I look forward to talking with you.

We are now in a Government Shutdown thanks to Congressional Republicans.

Funding health care over billionaires should be common sense.

Yet Republicans continue to prioritize their tax cuts to the ultra wealthy while stripping life saving care from our constituents. Make it make sense.

Democrat members are here, united, to fight for regular Americans. To cancel the cuts, to lower costs, and to protect healthcare. Republicans came back from vacation to pass a Big Ugly Bill with big tax breaks for billionaires — where are they now?

Rep. Emily Randall @repemilyrandall.bsky.social · 12d

My Democratic colleagues and I are here and ready to fight to keep our government open, defend health care, our federal employees, and essential government programs.

Republicans are causing this shutdown by not showing up.
