U.S. Representative Kim Schrier, M.D., has recently used her social media platform to address a range of issues affecting her constituents, including energy policy and veterans’ affairs.
On April 17, 2026, Rep. Schrier criticized the Trump Administration’s handling of the Centralia coal plant, stating in a post: “The Trump Administration has forced the Centralia coal plant to sit idle while it produces no new energy, causing my constituents to foot the bill. This is wasteful, and I will continue to hold this administration accountable.” The Centralia coal plant, located in Washington state, has been a focal point in debates over energy production and environmental regulation.
Later that day, Rep. Schrier shared another update with her followers: “Here is this week’s Schrier Flyer!” (April 17, 2026).
On April 18, 2026, she thanked local advocates for their engagement on veterans’ issues: “Thank you to the Military Officers Association of America group that met with me this week about increasing access to VA benefits and supporting our Veterans back home.” The Military Officers Association of America is a nonprofit organization focused on advocating for military personnel and veterans.
Rep. Kim Schrier represents Washington’s 8th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives. She has served since 2019 and frequently addresses issues related to healthcare, energy policy, and support for veterans.
