Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland

I am pleased to support much-needed community projects and #deliverfortheSouthSound.

This funding will create local jobs, and make our home a cleaner, safer, and more affordable place to live and work.

Earlier this week, the Major Richard Star Act discharge petition hit 218 votes, forcing a vote today. As an original cosponsor of the Major Richard Star Act, I was glad to see the bill pass the House on a broad and bipartisan basis.

With 391 of my colleagues, I voted to: 
- Ensure that combat-disabled veterans receive the retirement pay and disability benefits they deserve.
- Invest $12 billion in our veterans, guaranteeing they’ll have the resources they need to live with dignity and thrive.
- Advance top priorities for VSOs that have been blocked by past cuts to veterans benefits.

Today and every day, we honor the courage, dedication, and sacrifice of all veterans who served our country. I’m deeply grateful for their service and am committed to ensuring they receive the care, resources, and support they have earned.

Honored and excited to take on a new leadership role as Vice Chair for Communications of the @NewDemCoalition! Looking forward to working with my colleagues to build a more affordable and fair country.

Since his nomination, I have been sounding the alarm about Hegseth’s dangerous incompetence. 
 
An impeachment vote cannot come soon enough.
