As a pediatrician and a mom, I am extremely concerned about the impact social media has on our kids. Harmful content is often unregulated as companies make their apps more addictive to keep kids scrolling as they rake in profits.

Despite millions of flu cases and thousands of deaths across the country, RFK Jr.'s FDA decided yesterday to block an updated flu vaccine. Our nation's vaccine policies are being hijacked as this Administration promotes conspiracy theories, stifles innovation, and makes our country sicker.

Thank you Sheriff Patti Cole-Tindall for stopping by to discuss public safety updates in King County and legislation aimed at keeping our communities safe.

From skyrocketing healthcare premiums to the high costs of groceries, working families are getting squeezed while the Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans cut taxes for billionaires. This is outrageous - Americans deserve better. abcnews.go.com/Business/gro...

The Washington Grain Commission represents growers from across the state who play a vital role in our agriculture community and rural economies. It was wonderful to meet with them this week to discuss their priorities for 2026.

President Trump's decision to fire well-regarded, experienced, and independent inspectors general and replace them with his unqualified DOGE cronies is making it harder to investigate Medicare and Medicaid fraud. He is weakening these key programs, and harming those who depend on them.

Here is this week’s Schrier Flyer!

My team and I in Issaquah are ready for the game this Sunday, go Hawks!

Measles was eliminated in the U.S. over 25 years ago. Now, we are facing the largest outbreak we have had in decades. This is preventable. Please listen to your doctor — not RFK Jr. — about getting vaccinated to keep you and your loved ones safe.

Glad to work with @chu.house.gov and my colleagues to secure a GAO study on the ramifications of RFK Jr.'s outrageous decision to roll back the recommendation that all newborns receive the hepatitis B vaccine at birth.

Thanks to the Chelan Douglas Regional Port Authority for meeting with me earlier this week to discuss flood recovery efforts, rural transportation access, and ways to support our local economies in WA-08.

I met with @wdva.bsky.social to hear updates on local programs that support our Veterans and the Department’s goals for improving services in the new year. I look forward to continuing to support their work at the national level.

Extreme weather and changing climate patterns pose huge risks to producers, farmers, and ranchers.

I had a great meeting with the Independent Colleges of Washington today to discuss the importance of increasing access to student aid programs. Thank you for your work advocating for our students!

I'm fighting for Medicare Advantage reform now because our current system is unacceptable and far too often leaves patients to either eat their healthcare costs or die without the care they need. Americans deserve better.

Black history is American history. This month and every month, we honor the contributions of Black Americans and reflect on the resilient history that defines our nation.

This week, I stopped by the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department to tour their community resource center and discuss their projects for the new year. Thank you for keeping our community healthy!

I met with folks from the Sumner Bonney Lake School District ahead of their building bridges event this week! We talked about the importance of funding education, and their key role in helping our communities during last month’s devastating floods.

Americans are furious at their insurance companies, and rightfully so. Health insurance companies continue to drive up costs, deny coverage, and force patients to plead for assistance to cover the care their doctor prescribed. This is unacceptable. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/h...

This week, I joined my colleagues to hear from community members and discuss how to lower grocery prices for families. We talked about the importance of advocating for local growers and producers to make sure they get fair pay for their produce.

Thank you to the over 100 constituents who showed up to my town hall in Bonney Lake last night! It was great to hear from you all directly and answer your questions and concerns. You can subscribe to my town hall list to make it to the next one here: schrier.house.gov/subscribe-ou...

Today, we honor and mourn the millions of Jewish lives lost during the Holocaust at the hands of the evil Nazi regime. As antisemitism rises around the world, we must recommit to standing up against it and ensure that the horrors of the Holocaust are never forgotten. #NeverAgain

I stopped by the Northwest Railway Museum recently to learn about how flood damages have impacted the museum and the surrounding community. Thank you Mayor Mayhew and Miller for meeting with us to discuss recovery efforts, and special thank you to Richard for the tour.

I continue to hear stories from constituents with Medicare Advantage plans about how insurance companies continue to override the decisions of their doctors and deny them care. This is flat-out unacceptable—doctors should be making your medical decisions, not multi-billion dollar corporations.

Americans—regardless of their political party—have seen videos of yesterday’s horrifying incident in Minnesota. It is a pattern we have seen with our own eyes.

This is outrageous. ICE is out of control—acting with reckless violence and impunity that has caused the death of another US citizen. ICE has lost all credibility. Their actions are making us less safe and undermining the important role of local law enforcement in fighting crime.

Health insurance companies like UnitedHealth are skyrocketing costs, delaying critical services, and harming patients through their abuse of the prior authorization process.

My statement on voting against today's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) appropriations package:

At a time when Americans are struggling to afford skyrocketing healthcare costs, it’s vital that we do all we can to make care more affordable. That’s why I introduced a bill with @budzinski.house.gov to lower co-pays and deductibles for millions of Americans.

Trump’s attempt to take over Greenland is reckless and extremely damaging to our national security and our standing in the world. He is alienating our closest allies, making our country less safe, and escalating trade wars that will only make life more expensive for all of us. We deserve better.

For this latest round of Hire Dr. Schrier, I joined the team at JoJo’s Coffee in Issaquah! It was great to serve constituents coffee, and chat with owners JoJo and Elena about their shop.

Today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His fight for civil rights and equality continues to inspire us in our work for a more free and just country.

The Trump Administration has blocked the closure of the Centralia coal-fired power plant, despite agreements from the plant’s owners and Washington state over a decade ago to convert the facility from coal to natural gas.

I recently visited the Snoqualmie Valley Healing Center, where I learned more about the vital services the center offers local patients. A special thank you to Pastor Patti for her work taking care of the community during last month’s flooding.

I had a great meeting with the National Utility Contractors Association to focus on ways we can work together to support drinking water infrastructure and other projects in the Eighth District.
