Show Notes

Congresswoman Emily Randall (WA-06) joins Jeff to talk about the 44-day federal government shutdown, its impact on workers across the Sixth District, and why she voted no on the reopening bill. She shares what she heard from Shipyard employees, small business owners, and families facing rising healthcare premiums.

They also dig into rural hospital challenges, small business loans, bipartisan possibilities in Congress, and concerns about blurred lines between the legislative and executive branches.

It’s a full breakdown of how national decisions hit home in Mason, Kitsap, Jefferson, and Grays Harbor counties — and what comes next for Washington’s Sixth District.
