Rep. Adam Smith, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing Washington’s 9th district since 1997, has voiced concerns on several pressing issues through his recent tweets. With a career that began in the Washington State Senate and an educational background from Fordham University and the University of Washington, Smith continues to engage with constituents on national matters.
On March 6, 2025, Rep. Smith addressed the potential impact of the “far-right budget” on healthcare costs for residents in his district. He stated that “Under the far-right budget, people in WA-09 will see their premiums skyrocket, making it harder for families to afford basic health care.” He highlighted a specific concern for a 60-year-old couple in WA-09 whose premiums could increase by nearly $17,000—a rise of 234%.
The following day, March 7, he expressed apprehension over actions by prominent figures affecting federal services. In his tweet, he remarked that “Trump and Musk are slashing our federal workforce and it will devastate services to our veterans and those who rely on the VA’s care.”
Later on March 7, Rep. Smith commented on international affairs concerning Ukraine. He conveyed his stance that “We need the war in Ukraine to stop, but President Trump’s actions will only prolong the fighting.”
