Connect To Congress: Rep. Derek Kilmer
KOMO News interviewed Rep. Derek Kilmer of the state's 6th Congressional House District to get his take on recent events that affect Western Washington.
Some of the questions asked:
Congress has not passed a COVID-19 relief bill since July and with so many people and businesses already hurting as our state heads into stricter restrictions this week, what is the hold up and do you believe Congress will get new relief to those who need it?
Looking ahead to the next session of Congress: What are your highest priorities?
You have introduced what's called the Federal Worker Leave Fairness Act -- what is it, and what would it mean to people here?
President-elect Biden is moving forward with his transition despite the president still not conceding. This as Democrats will retain control of the House, but have lost some seats to Republicans. What are your main takeaways from the election?
Your name has been tossed around for a potential cabinet role. Have you been asked to be part of a Biden administration or would you consider, if asked?
Is there anything else you'd like to share with our viewers or people in your district?
