Rep. Adam Smith, who represents Washington’s 9th district in the U.S. Congress, posted a series of statements on October 3, 2025, criticizing President Donald Trump and his administration’s actions.
In one post at 14:42 UTC, Smith stated, “I will not allow President Trump to continue to abuse his power and hurt my constituents.”
Later that day at 15:47 UTC, he wrote, “President Trump has violated the law repeatedly. We Democrats are not going to vote in a way that will allow that to continue.”
At 17:18 UTC, Smith added another message: “Donald Trump is using the Justice Department as his own personal vengeance tool. Why would we continue that budget and vote for that?”
Smith has represented Washington’s 9th district since 1997 after succeeding Randy Tate. Before joining Congress, he served in the Washington State Senate from 1991 to 1997. Born in Washington, D.C., in 1965, Smith currently resides in Bellevue and holds degrees from Fordham University and the University of Washington.
