Rep. Kim Schrier, M.D., representing Washington's 8th District in the U.S. Congress since 2019, recently shared her activities and concerns via social media. Her posts touched on topics such as energy reliability, employment within the Forest Service, and advocacy for women's rights.

On March 8, 2025, Rep. Schrier expressed her commitment to supporting energy providers by meeting with representatives from the Washington Public Utility Districts Association (WPUDA). She stated: "I recently met with representatives from @WPUDA to focus on how I can support their work to provide reliable, affordable energy for customers in the Eighth District and throughout Washington State."

Later that day, she voiced concern over workforce reductions at the Forest Service. In a tweet posted on March 8, 2025, she criticized recent staff cuts under the Trump Administration: "Firing hundreds of @forestservice staff puts our state's safety, economy, and way of life at risk. That's why I led my colleagues in calling on the Trump Administration to reinstate fired employees and refrain from further Forest Service workforce cuts."

In another post commemorating International Women’s Day on March 8, 2025, Rep. Schrier reaffirmed her dedication to advocating for women globally. She tweeted: "On International Women’s Day, my @demwomencaucus colleagues and I recommit to fighting for all women and girls across the globe. All women, regardless of birthplace or nationality, deserve a world where they can thrive."
