In our issue survey, Suzan responded that Congress should ban or severely limit sales of all semi-automatic weapons and ban high capacity magazines.

"The bipartisan gun law is the most meaningful change to our gun laws in nearly 30 years and it will save lives going forward but I believe we should do more. The recent shootings in Highland Park, Buffalo and Uvalde all underscore that this problem will not go away overnight. I support renewing the assault weapons ban, raising the age to purchase a handgun to 21, universal background checks, and limiting large-capacity magazines."

In our issue survey, Suzan responded that the economic recovery has not helped everybody. We need to give taxpayers another recovery check or a monthly check for families.

"While we’ve had a strong economic recovery thanks to President Biden’s American Rescue Plan that I supported, we need to do more to help families tackle the rising costs of everyday goods like food, rent, and gas. I recently released an action plan to tackle inflation. I also remain committed to renewing monthly checks for parents through the expanded Child Tax Credit. This lifted 3.7 million kids out of poverty and was a historic tax cut for middle class families."

In our issue survey, Suzan responded that permanent affordable housing is the answer to both homelessness and housing affordability and much more housing needs to be built.

"Millions of Americans are experiencing housing insecurity and communities throughout the country are facing affordable housing shortages and high levels of homelessness. I introduced the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act, which is bipartisan, bicameral legislation that would build more than 2 million new affordable housing units by expanding the Housing Credit. The Housing Credit is our most successful affordable housing program, building or restoring over 3.5 million affordable homes since it was created."

In our issue survey, Suzan responded that abortion should be legal everywhere, no exceptions.

"I believe women should have the right to choose what happens to their own bodies. The decision to have an abortion should be between a woman and her medical provider. That decision should be protected by federal law that prohibits any medically unnecessary barriers. That is why I am a cosponsor and have voted for the Women’s Health Protection Act."

In our issue survey, Suzan responded that it’s time to make DACA recipients full citizens and start talking about a path to citizenship for other longtime immigrants and refugees.

"I believe we need comprehensive immigration reform that eliminates application backlogs, reunites families, and meet the demands of our economy. I strongly support an earned path to citizenship for those who are already here, otherwise following the law, working or going to school, or making positive contributions to their communities. Further, we must focus our enforcement resources on those who pose a threat to public safety while honoring students and hardworking people adding value to our economy."

In our issue survey, Suzan responded that Congress needs to invest serious money in developing alternative energy sources and encourage people to buy electric vehicles, invest in solar energy for their homes and switch from gas to electric to heat their homes.

"I believe the climate crisis requires a robust and urgent response in order to preserve our planet for future generations. We must leverage tools like the tax code to transition the U.S. to a green economy based on clean and renewable technology. As Vice Chair of the Ways and Means Committee, I helped my colleagues draft the Growing Renewable and Efficient Energy Now (GREEN) Act which was included in the House-passed Build Back Better Act. This bill is a comprehensive approach to combating climate change using the tax code to incentivize the use of renewable energy and the deployment of green energy technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions."

In our issue survey, Joe responded that some states, including Washington, have overstepped their authority on gun regulations.

"I am a 2nd Amendment advocate and do not support any new gun legislation. I most especially do not support House Resolution 127, the recent partnership/proposals and funding requests advocated by March for Our Lives with the White House, or gun platforms from the Biden Administration. I will push for Constitutional Carry/concealed carry permit reciprocity in all 50 states, so all citizens can exercise their right to bear arms and defend themselves without government interference."

In our issue survey, Joe responded that we need to lower taxes on businesses to get the economy growing and encourage more hiring.

"Inflation is a tax on the working and middle classes of our Republic. The value of the dollar continues to fall, and the Fed prints money backed by nothing."

In our issue survey, Joe responded that all homeless people need to be swept off the streets and parks and into shelters.

In our issue survey, Joe responded that abortion should be outlawed, no exceptions.

"I am a pro-life Christian. I will work tirelessly to protect the rights of unborn children. I will work to cut off federal funding for abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood."

In our issue survey, Joe responded: Close the borders. Deport residents without official authorization.

"I will introduce and support legislation to build a border wall, push back on blanket amnesty, deprive sanctuary cities of federal funding, and enforce strict employer verification requirements for their employees to end non-US citizen labor demand."

In our issue survey, Joe responded that the threat of climate change is overblown and we cannot fix it with new laws.

In our issue survey, Doug responded that Congress should ban or severely limit sales of all semi-automatic weapons and ban high capacity magazines.

In our issue survey, Marilyn responded that law enforcement should be empowered to take guns away from people who commit a felony or have been accused of domestic violence.

"The crisis of gun violence in America touches every corner of our country and every community. Fighting gun violence is essential to protecting our kids and communities, and we know there are solutions that can save lives. It should be harder, not easier, for felons, domestic abusers, and terrorists to buy dangerous weapons. In Congress, I am standing up for responsible solutions like universal background checks for gun purchases and restoration of the ban on military-style assault weapons and high capacity magazines. As a cosponsor of the bipartisan Bipartisan Background Checks Act, and the Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act, I’m working across the aisle to protect our families, and prevent gun violence."

In our issue survey, Marilyn responded that the economic recovery has not helped everybody. We need to give taxpayers another recovery check or a monthly check for families.

"I’ve spent my career advocating for jobs, opportunity, fairness, small businesses, and economic security for all people. Fighting inflation, lowering costs for families, and creating an economy that works for everyone is my top priority in Congress. I’ve championed infrastructure investments in transportation, utilities, and affordable housing, and voted for the bipartisan infrastructure package to create jobs and support workers. I also voted for the permanent refundability of the Child Tax Credit, and key investments for our long-term care workforce to serve our seniors. I also support a national paid family leave policy and will continue to work with labor to protect the right to organize and collectively bargain. I support pilot programs to help develop a national strategy that will provide financial stability for people, and I support expanding effective policies like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and registered apprenticeships."

In our issue survey, Marilyn responded that Permanent affordable housing is the answer to both homelessness and housing affordability and much more housing needs to be built.

"All people, regardless of age, zip code or income, deserve to live in a safe, stable, home they can afford. The South Sound is one of the fastest growing places in the United States, and that means affordable, accessible housing is essential. Local and state governments need policies that make it easier to build more housing, but the one entity with the financial resources to significantly address the problem is the federal government. The response to the housing crisis must be innovative and match the scale of the problem. In Congress, I have called for massive federal investment to help build affordable, workforce, and senior homes in local communities. I co-sponsored legislation to incentivize the construction of more low- and middle-income near transit. I also voted for investments to expand access to safe and affordable housing, and have called on the Department of Defense to address access to housing for servicemembers and their families at Joint Base Lewis-McChord."

In our issue survey, Marilyn responded that abortion should be legal everywhere, no exceptions.

"We must protect women’s reproductive freedom. I will never stop fighting in Congress to ensure that safe and legal abortion and family planning care are available to all. I will always support a woman’s right to choose, and I will fight all attempts to restrict access to reproductive health care. I will continue to support funding for Planned Parenthood, and I will keep fighting to ensure that our service members receive the quality, safe reproductive health care they deserve."

In our issue survey, Marilyn responded that it’s time to make DACA recipients full citizens and start talking about a path to citizenship for other longtime immigrants and refugees.

"As the daughter of an immigrant, I understand the challenges experienced by our immigrant population. I support comprehensive immigration reform that focuses on streamlining the process of legal permanent residency, creating a fair pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants already in this country, and protections for DREAMERs. I will fight to shut down the for-profit detention facilities that lock up children and will fight the cruel policy of separating migrant families. I will also continue working to expand visa caps. Immigrants are an essential part of the American identity and the U.S. economy as workers and entrepreneurs who bring skills, diverse perspectives, and innovation. By raising caps on visas, we can help attract the brightest and the best the world has to offer to the United States."

In our issue survey, Marilyn responded that congress needs to invest serious money in developing alternative energy sources and encourage people to buy electric vehicles, invest in solar energy for their homes and switch from gas to electric to heat their homes.

"Climate change is one of the most serious long-term threats to our nation and the world. That’s why in Congress I have worked to advance the recommendations put forward by the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis and to protect Puget Sound. I helped re-launch the Puget Sound Recovery Caucus, and then secured historic funding increases for Puget Sound restoration. I’ve also called for the elimination of a toxic chemical killing coho salmon in the Pacific Northwest, highlighted the need for more federal investment in tribal communities and conservation, and fought the plan to expand offshore drilling. I am working to reinstate regulations on emissions and protections for our public lands and advocating for rebuilding the EPA, especially offices and programs designed to track the health and environmental impacts of pollution in under-served communities. I will keep working to invest in renewable energy in pursuit of a carbon-free future so it is easier for consumers of energy and transportation to make better choices for clean air and clean water."

In our issue survey, Keith responded that some states, including Washington, have overstepped their authority on gun regulations.

In our issue survey, Keith responded that we need to lower taxes on businesses to get the economy growing and encourage more hiring.

In our issue survey, Keith responded that people need to take personal responsibility to get jobs and get into housing, but the government should keep building and operating some shelters to help with the transition.

In our issue survey, Keith responded that this is a state issue. Let individual states decide whether to legalize abortion.

In our issue survey, Keith responded that we should severely limit how many refugees and immigrants are welcome here and return to deporting people who come here without permission and then break the law.

In our issue survey, Keith responded that the threat of climate change is overblown and we cannot fix it with new laws.
