Sen. Maria Cantwell

U.S. Senator from Washington State | Ranking Member @commerce.senate.gov | RS≠endorsement
- Washingtonians will not be intimidated when it comes to voting. We know that voting rights are guaranteed by our Constitution, and Washington state’s vote-by-mail is safe and secure. www.kiro7.com/news/local/a...
- Americans have the right to express their views without being killed. We should know that we are upholding civil liberties. The Department of Homeland Security and ICE should be investigated. My speech on the Senate floor ⬇️
- Great news for the Spokane tech hub! This means that there will now be a serious investment to support manufacturing jobs and grow our defense and commercial aerospace industries. www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...
- Pam Bondi has sued Washington state to get sensitive voter data. I’m standing strong against efforts to undermine our voting system. Democracies don't grow on trees. They need to be protected, defended, and fought for. My letter to AG Bondi ⬇️
- #BlackHistoryMonth is a time to celebrate the immense contributions of Black Americans to our society, culture, and politics. We also recommit ourselves to fighting racial inequities and ensuring equality for all Americans.
- Today the Senate refused to give a blank check to fund DHS and ICE for the next year. We rejected President Trump’s 40% cuts to health care research and mental health programs and instead invested in them. (1/2)
- We also invested in air traffic controllers, the National Transportation Safety Board, and aviation manufacturing. (2/2)
- Voting by mail is safe and secure. A new USPS rule could delay postmarks, preventing mail-in voters’ ballots from being counted. I’ll continue to push back against any actions that would undermine our elections or make it harder to vote. My letter to the Trump Administration⬇️
