Rep. Adam Smith, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Washington’s 9th district, shared updates on recent activities via social media on March 19, 2025. His tweets covered topics ranging from procurement workshops to concerns about potential changes in Social Security Administration staffing.

In a tweet posted at 16:55 UTC, Rep. Adam Smith expressed satisfaction with a successful Procurement Workshop held in collaboration with the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services. He extended his gratitude to participants for their involvement. “My office had another successful Procurement Workshop with @WaStateDES this morning. Thanks to everyone who joined.”

Later that day, at 17:56 UTC, Rep. Smith voiced his concerns regarding proposed staff cuts and the closure of hearing offices within the Social Security Administration (SSA). He emphasized that such measures could adversely affect service times and accessibility to benefits for Americans. He joined other representatives in urging Acting Commissioner Dudek to maintain current staffing levels and keep SSA offices operational. “Cutting Social Security staff and eliminating hearing offices will jeopardize service times, access to earned benefits, and accessibility for the American people. I joined fellow Representatives to urge Acting Commissioner Dudek to keep SSA offices open and employees staffed.”
