Rep. Adam Smith, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing Washington's 9th district, has recently shared updates through a series of tweets. Smith, who has been serving in Congress since 1997 after succeeding Randy Tate, maintains an active presence in both legislative activities and public engagement through virtual platforms.

On April 6, 2025, Smith shared an update about a Virtual Town Hall. Smith announced the event through his digital communications, offering constituents an opportunity for direct interaction and discussions on important legislative issues.

The following day, on April 7, 2025, Smith expressed his stance on agricultural and nutritional policy in a tweet, stating, "I joined 35 House Democrats denouncing the USDA's continuous efforts to cut fundamental programs that keep kids fed and allow farmers to keep farming their land." Smith highlighted the importance of the Patrick Leahy Farm to School Program, which aims to provide nutritious meals to students and support farmers' sustainability.

On the same day, Smith followed up with an update on his recent engagement, noting, "Last night I held a Virtual Town Hall with over than 13,000 attendees." He reported that the event was livestreamed across multiple platforms, including Instagram, X, YouTube, and Facebook. During the town hall, Smith addressed questions from attendees, such as Barb's inquiry about the impacts of tariffs, and provided a link to access the full event for further viewing.
