May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, a time dedicated to honoring the remarkable contributions & histories of AANHPIs in our country.

Met with Enumclaw Police Chief Tim Floyd to hear about the public safety needs of the community and how I can support their efforts and to join for a ride-along to see what officers are experiencing day-to-day.
The Change Healthcare attack devastated providers and patients across the country.
Yesterday, I questioned UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty on what his multi-billion dollar company can do for small, independent practices that were hurt by UnitedHealth’s failures and inaction.

As a pediatrician and a mother, the safety of our children is a major concern.
I was happy to speak with experts on how to protect our children online, empower parents, and hold big tech accountable through legislation like my bills, the Kids Online Safety Act and Sammy’s Law.
The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) has helped nearly 23 million Americans access broadband, but funding is set to run out.
Today, I met with broadband industry leaders to highlight the ACP’s importance and share more about my work in Congress to extend funding.

Wishing all who celebrate a happy Passover. Chag Sameach!
At the end of this month, the Affordable Connectivity Program will run out of funding and millions of Americans could lose access to high-speed internet.
I worked with my
