From Westport to Aberdeen to Port Angeles, we work hard. We’re up before sunrise and long after sundown. We pay our bills. We cook, we clean, we take care of our kids and our parents.

But corrupt politicians in DC are working for billionaires and throwing blue collar workers under the bus. They've turned their backs on us: stealing our Medicaid benefits which will shutter our rural hospitals, and killing good rural jobs—all to give billionaires and giant corporations tax breaks.

Then they turn around and try to blame immigrants, hoping we'll point fingers at other blue collar workers instead of the wealthy at the top. Rather than lifting a finger to help working families, federal agents are taking immigrants from their jobs, families and communities. It’s a dangerous scheme that hurts our local economy and farming, and makes our towns less safe.

Recently, federal agents raided an active wildfire scene near Shelton. Firefighters say they were ambushed when Customs & Border Patrol agents arrested two brave immigrant wildland firefighters who were risking their lives to fight the Bear Gulch Fire. This reckless attack on heroic firefighters puts all of us at risk.
