Rep. Adam Smith, a long-serving congressman representing Washington's 9th District since 1997, has been active on social media discussing crucial policy issues. Born in Washington, D.C., Smith resides in Bellevue and has an academic background from Fordham University and the University of Washington.

On April 2, 2025, Rep. Adam Smith communicated, "I heard from Mary in Kent about how dismantling the Department of Education could have a real impact on Washingtonians." The post emphasizes the potential repercussions of policy changes on local communities and invites constituents to share their stories through a provided link.

Following this, on April 3, 2025, Smith commented on economic policies, expressing that "Today, President Trump has decided to further isolate and weaken the American economy with a slew of tariffs on nations across the world – starting at a base of a new 10% universal tariff." Smith acknowledges that tariffs can be beneficial if applied strategically to foster growth and protection, though he critiques the President's approach.

Later the same day, Smith brought attention to health disparities, noting, "April is National Minority Health Month, where we must improve the gap of health care for racial and ethnic minority communities." This underscores a commitment to addressing healthcare inequities facing minority groups.
