Rep. Adam Smith, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Washington’s 9th district, recently shared a series of tweets covering various topics of national interest. Smith has been a congressional representative since 1997 and previously served in the Washington State Senate.
On May 12, 2025, Rep. Smith highlighted his introduction of the Community and Technical College Investment Act two years ago. The act “proposes tuition-free community and technical colleges across our nation” with the support of grant funding and wraparound services to aid students in completing their programs.
In another tweet on the same day, Rep. Smith recognized National Police Week as a time to honor officers who serve in duty to protect communities: “Thank you for your service.”
Later that day, he addressed economic concerns related to tariffs implemented by President Trump: “When you damage the economy, it hurts the working class.” He mentioned discussing these impacts during an appearance on MSNBC.
Adam Smith was born in Washington, D.C., and currently resides in Bellevue at age 57. He graduated from Fordham University with a BA and later earned a JD from the University of Washington.
