Rep. Adam Smith, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Washington’s 9th district, has been active on social media discussing various issues. On March 3, 2025, he addressed topics ranging from environmental conservation to housing legislation and education funding.

On March 3, 2025, Rep. Adam Smith tweeted in recognition of World Wildlife Day, urging the protection of wild plants and animals that contribute to the planet’s beauty. He stated: “Happy World Wildlife Day. Let’s protect the wild plants and animals that make our planet beautiful.”

Later that day, Rep. Smith introduced new legislation aimed at removing hedge funds from the nation’s housing market to alleviate financial pressures on families struggling with rent and homeownership. He expressed his concerns by stating: “Last week, I introduced legislation to continue my effort to kick hedge funds out of our nation’s housing market. Too many families struggle to meet rent payments or even afford to buy a home because large investors are squeezing out prospective buyers.”

On March 4, 2025, Rep. Smith met with Bellevue College’s Associated Student Government to discuss funding for higher education and student opportunities across Washington state. He appreciated their engagement as noted in his tweet: “Today, I met with the @bellevuecollege Associated Student Government who spoke with me about funding to higher education, student opportunities, and collegiate programs across our state. Appreciate you being here.”
