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.
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.

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.
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. #WildfireWeek2026 #WCF #WesternCaucus

On this day in 1787, our Constitution was signed in Philadelphia. After almost 240 years, the principles and beliefs of our Republic remain steadfast, a testament to our Founding Fathers and their vision for our Nation.

Today, we remember and honor those we lost 25 years ago and the individuals who did not hesitate to answer the call of duty when it mattered most. 

In the aftermath, America showed its resilience and unity in the face of an unimaginable tragedy.

Thank you to the brave firefighters and first responders who have worked tirelessly to bring 100% containment to the Colwash and Kaiser Canyon fires. Their hard work and dedication has saved the lives, land and livestock of countless Washingtonians. Wildfire season is not over yet, so stay updated on the wildfires close to you to be safe and prepared.

The science is clear, the gray wolf population has fully recovered. I thank @POTUS for taking a step in the right direction towards delisting this apex predator that has been wreaking havoc on ranchers in my district and across rural America. The Senate should pass the Pet and Livestock Protection Act, send the legislation to the President’s desk, and finish the job.

Thank you to @EPA and @USACEHQ for continuing your work to issue a new durable WOTUS rule to comply with the landmark SCOTUS Sackett decision. Reversing federal government overreach and ensuring regulatory clarity is essential to the success of our nation’s farmers, ranchers, and landowners. epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-and…

Today, I was invited to speak with the @tricitychamber and deliver a congressional update. In this update I discussed progress being made regarding appropriations, cleanup efforts at Hanford, the Farm Bill, agricultural labor, H-2A reform, and PNNL. I have been proud to serve the Tri-Cities during my time in Congress and will continue to do so during these last few months of my term.

On National Hydropower Day it is important to remember that hydropower is one of our nation’s greatest tools for energy independence and part of the fabric that is the Pacific Northwest. I’m proud to have championed my bipartisan “Build More Hydro” bill—now law—that paves the way for hydroelectric dams to provide America with more reliable, clean, baseload power.

This announcement by the President is a betrayal to American farmers and ranchers while making a negligible impact at the grocery store. Importing subsidized foreign beef does nothing to help regrow the U.S. herd, which is the smallest it’s been in decades. This is the wrong decision and will have lasting effects on American farming families.

For years, the Chinese Communist Party has worked to circumvent U.S. seaports on the West Coast to avoid the Harbor Maintenance Tax in order to slow the modernization of our ports.   This report from the White House details the estimated annual budgetary losses and makes a strong case for the House to pass my legislation, H.R. 3363, that would close the Harbor Maintenance tax loophole – one of the many ways foreign countries are illegally transshipping goods into the U.S. whitehouse.gov/wp-content/up…

Thank you @SecretaryBurgum for visiting Washington state to see the damage recent wildfires have inflicted on communities, families, and businesses. I’m grateful that the Administration has made the safety of Washingtonians a priority and I look forward to working alongside them to help all those in need. Should anyone across WA-04 need any assistance from the federal government, do not hesitate to contact my office at Newhouse.house.gov.
Grateful for the leaders from the Colville and Spokane Tribes for meeting with us in Washington to discuss ongoing wildfires. @Interior is committed to supporting their recovery and working together to better manage our forests and reduce the risk of future fires.

Today, I declared a Public Health Emergency for Washington State, giving hospitals and healthcare providers the flexibility they need to respond to these devastating wildfires and protect lives. I spoke with @GovBobFerguson and made clear that @HHSGov will work alongside state and local leaders to keep care available, support frontline healthcare professionals, and help Washington communities through this emergency. We stand with the people of Washington, and we will not let them face this crisis alone.
