Rep. Kim Schrier, M.D., a U.S. Representative from Washington’s 8th Congressional District, recently shared updates on her official Twitter account regarding local advocacy efforts, national security concerns, and youth civic engagement.
On April 15, 2026, Schrier highlighted her participation in Puget Sound Day and acknowledged the contributions of various stakeholders. She wrote: “During this year’s Puget Sound Day, I heard from local and Tribal leaders, Washington state natural resources staff, and conservation groups about how to support Puget Sound and salmon population recovery. Thank you for your advocacy! https://t.co/iVsmdR6Luc”
The following day, April 16, 2026, Schrier expressed concern over ongoing U.S. military involvement in Iran under President Trump. In her post she stated: “The president’s war in Iran is out of control and continues to risk the lives of servicemembers, jeopardize our national security, and skyrocket costs for Americans.
President Trump has repeatedly failed to make a clear case to the American people regarding why we are in this”
Later that same day, Schrier commended students from Tahoma High School who visited her office prior to their participation in a civics competition. She posted: “Tahoma High School students stopped by my office yesterday ahead of their We the People civics team competition. I was so impressed by their questions.
Congratulations to these future leaders! https://t.co/1Jy7iQoklR“
Puget Sound is an ecologically significant estuary in Washington State facing challenges such as pollution and declining salmon populations; collaborative efforts between government agencies and local communities are ongoing to address these issues. The “We the People” program is a nationwide initiative aimed at promoting civic competence among high school students through simulated congressional hearings.
