Rep. Adam Smith

Great news for Washington's Ninth District. Today, the House of Representatives passed a package that will deliver $6,316,000 in community project funds back to our community in WA-09. These Community Project Funding investments reflect what our communities are asking for — cleaner water, safer neighborhoods, and more opportunities for young people to succeed. I will continue fighting to ensure federal resources are directed where they can make the greatest local impact.

Happy Juneteenth to everyone in Washington’s Ninth District! Today, we celebrate the end of slavery in the United States and the bravery of those who worked for emancipation.

Good luck to Team USA as they take on Australia at Lumen Field today! Stay safe and enjoy the game.

A year ago, I joined my colleagues Sen. Schatz and Rep. Val Hoyle in introducing the Wall Street Tax Act. Reducing risky trade practices would return billions of dollars back to the American people and force the wealthiest to pay their fair share. Our economy should represent everyone and reflect the values of the communities in our district.

I commend Mayor Wilson and the City of Seattle for taking a step in the right direction on public safety. Residents in Little Saigon and North Beacon Hill have raised concerns about 12th and Jackson for years, and I appreciate the city's clear commitment to enforce public safety standards and hold people accountable for illegal activity. Maintaining safety standards and connecting people with services are not in conflict. seattletimes.com/seattle-news/m…

The war with Iran has been one of the worst foreign policy disasters in our nation's history.

Our service members sacrifice so much for our country, and it's essential that we provide the resources and support they deserve. Thank you to everyone who joined me at yesterday's Veterans Mental Health Roundtable in Tukwila to discuss best practices, access to quality mental health care, and the needs of veterans across Washington.

Great conversation with @NoahRiffe on @LobbingScorcher about soccer, Seattle, and democracy. My son and I both love the game and there’s something very powerful about our region welcoming the world to its doorstep. That’s who we are. That’s what we need to protect.

Nat Sec Dems demand the Trump Admin brief Congress on the details of the U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding.

The World Cup is an opportunity to show that we want to be a part of the global community.

Yesterday, I joined the Mercer Island Rotary Club to share updates in Congress and answer questions ranging from school safety, the war in Iran, and the push for better governance. It was great to engage with them on the issues they care about.

Rep. Adam Smith, ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, says the war was "really stupid" and that “the president is trying to do a little smoke and mirrors” with the “vague” details of the memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran.

More than 10 years after President Obama announced the DACA program, young people are still at risk of deportation. Dreamers have built and transformed our society, and we need to work together to provide a permanent, commonsense solution to their status. I’m proud to be a cosponsor of the American Dream and Promise Act, which provides a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, and strongly encourage my colleagues to support this legislation.

"(A)ny deal that is even as good or much less better than what Obama had negotiated, and Trump stupidly tore up, that's just not on the table right now. And Trump's trying to obfuscate ... so that we don't see that." - @HASCDemocrats Ranking Member @RepAdamSmith on @TheLeadCNN with @jaketapper

"This war accomplished nothing for the U.S., it put us right back where we were on Feb. 27th, only in worse shape because we're fighting over opening the Strait of Hormuz. It really points out the folly of having started this war in the first place, but ending it should be the priority now." @HASCDemocrats Ranking Member @RepAdamSmith on @CNN with @OmarJimenez

"I still don't ... think that either President Trump or Prime Minister Netanyahu understand that we have to find partners for peace, not just enemies that we want to kill." - @HASCDemocrats Ranking Member @RepAdamSmith on @MSNOWNews

All Trump did was possibly "reopen a straight that was open in the first place." @RepAdamSmith

Happy birthday @USArmy! Thanks to all the cadets, enlisted servicemembers, and veterans who have defended our nation.
