Rep. Kim Schrier, M.D., a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, has recently addressed several issues through her social media posts, ranging from criticism of former President Donald Trump’s rhetoric to concerns about food assistance programs and engagement with constituents.
On April 7, 2026, Schrier posted a statement regarding former President Trump’s recent comments: “This is completely unhinged behavior from President Trump. Threatening to wipe out an entire civilization is a reckless escalation in rhetoric that endangers us all. Congressional Republicans must work with Democrats to rein this President in.”
Later that day, she acknowledged local engagement at a recent event: “Thank you to the over 80 constituents who showed up to my town hall in Auburn last night, and to Mayor Nancy Backus for moderating. It was good to hear your pressing questions on current events and local issues. Make sure to subscribe to my town hall list here: https://t.co/OH5kaBWicM” The mention of Mayor Nancy Backus highlights ongoing collaboration between federal representatives and local government leaders during community forums.
On April 8, 2026, Schrier drew attention to the impact of federal policy changes on food assistance organizations: “The Trump Administration’s cuts to The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) are hurting food distribution sites like Northwest Harvest, which have increasingly had to rely on local support to stay afloat. I recently joined Northwest Harvest CEO Tom Reynolds and staff in https://t.co/90lt6ag3Ya” TEFAP provides federal support for emergency food distribution; reductions in its funding can force organizations such as Northwest Harvest—a nonprofit focused on hunger relief—to seek alternative sources of support.
Rep. Kim Schrier represents Washington’s 8th congressional district and has served since 2019.
