Connect to Congress: Rep. Derek Kilmer
SEATTLE -- In this edition of KOMO News' Connect to Congress feature, we chat with Democrat Rep. Derek Kilmer, who represents Washington's 6th Congressional District.
Some of the questions we posted to Rep. Kilmer include:
* How will the passage of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan help Americans and particularly those who live in Washington?
* Not a single Republican voted for the bill. What's your response to GOP criticism that the bill is too expensive and over bloated?
* What is your hope to getting the country and state reopened as vaccines continue to roll out?
* Recently you worked with Sen. Patty Murray on the Wild Olympics Wilderness and Wild and Scenic Rivers Act -- what is the potential impact to our state?
* What are your next legislative priorities? We've heard the Biden Administration talk about infrastructure and immigration.
* What about the issues of getting broadband into more homes?
