Federal Policy
Federal policies and programs help Washingtonians have access to health care, healthy food, and affordable housing. They also help ensure people can meet their basic needs when they’re facing a hardship. We must protect investments in these programs and fight proposals that give tax breaks to corporations at the expense of the well-being of everyone else.
