In Washington, the deadly drug fentanyl is killing teens and adults - and even children - at catastrophically high rates. We must take strong action to fight this crisis. Sen. Maria Cantwell isn't doing nearly enough, but I will.

Fentanyl is the worst killer I've seen in 26 years. In the ER, I treat two to five overdoses on every single shift. I’ve met far too many people who’ve lost loved ones to Fentanyl.

The fentanyl crisis is hitting Washington state especially hard. We had the 3rd highest rise in teen fentanyl death rates from 2020-22, and the 4th highest rise overall in overdose/poisoning deaths from 2023-2024. Sen. Cantwell isn't doing enough to stop this tragedy.

Sen. Maria Cantwell votes for reckless federal spending that sends our national debt higher & makes our economy weaker. And most of that money is going to other states! Due to Cantwell's incompetence, the people of Washington are getting a raw deal.
We not only need to audit
A new report finds that WA taxpayers are funneling $22.5 billion more into the federal treasury than we get back in spending. Who benefits? Mostly red states, writes columnist Danny Westneat.
