Kim Schrier — Democrat Candidate for U.S. House in Washington, 2026

Kim Schrier supports comprehensive immigration reform, advocating for a path to citizenship and secure borders. She co-introduced bipartisan legislation to create a path to citizenship for farm workers and supports H.R. 6 (Dream Act) and H.R. 1603 (Farm Workforce Modernization Act). She also voted against a DHS appropriations bill due to concerns about ICE's actions terrorizing communities and undermining trust, and pushes to codify DACA and expand worker visas.

““Protecting our national security is a paramount responsibility that I take very seriously. That is why I have a long record of ensuring the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has the resources it needs to keep our nation safe. [...] “But what we are seeing now is a sharp and dangerous departure from the regular rule of law. The Trump Administration has weaponized the DHS-run Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) against the American people. The Administration promised to deport the worst of the worst, and instead, ICE is now terrorizing communities – killing American citizens, ripping families apart, and sowing fear. This is not what ICE and other law enforcement should be used for. Their actions are causing long-term harm that will be felt for decades after the Trump Administration leaves by undermining the trust that has been built between local law enforcement and the communities they protect. [...] “ICE is out of control and needs to be reined in through substantial measures that build accountability, transparency, and restore trust–especially in the wake of the horrific killing of a U.S. citizen that we saw in Minnesota. The package we voted on today fails to take even the most straightforward measures I’ve already called for to ensure accountability, like banning masks and other disguises, requiring officers to identify themselves, and mandating the use of body-worn cameras. Instead, it gives this agency more money without necessary guardrails, further enabling rogue and dangerous behavior that instills fear. That is why I voted against this DHS appropriations package.” - Congresswoman Kim Schrier, Statement on Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Appropriations Package Vote”

Kim Schrier voted for the FY26 National Defense Authorization Act to strengthen healthcare access for military personnel, expand travel reimbursement for specialty care, and assess mental health staffing.

As Co-Chair of the Healthcare Task Force, she has also grilled healthcare CEOs regarding prior authorization abuses.

““I’m proud to cast my vote to give our service members a much-deserved pay raise, provide proper oversight of the Trump Administration, and strengthen healthcare and child care access for our military personnel.” - Congresswoman Schrier, in a press release on the FY26 NDAA, February 2026.”

Congresswoman Kim Schrier introduced the bipartisan Reforestation, Nurseries, and Genetic Resources (RNGR) Support Act of 2026 to enhance wildfire resilience and the national reforestation pipeline. She also co-introduced the Partnerships for Agricultural Climate Action (PACA) Act of 2025, which aims to support sustainable farms and conservation practices.

Kim Schrier has voted in favor of the Women’s Health Protection Act twice and also supported the Right to Contraception Act and the Ensuring Women’s Right to Reproductive Freedom Act. She states her trust in women to make their own personal decisions about health and family planning. Schrier is endorsed by Reproductive Freedom for All and EMILYs List, aligning with her opposition to restrictive abortion legislation.

“As the only pro-choice woman doctor in all of Congress, I will always support a woman’s right to choose. I trust women to make their own personal decisions about health and family planning, in consultation with their doctors. I have voted twice now to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would codify Roe v. Wade into law. Now that Republican politicians in DC want to pass a national ban on abortion that would take effect even here in Washington – without exceptions for rape, incest, or instances in which the life of the mother is at risk – Congress must take action to protect a woman’s right to choose.
