I have heard repeated stories of meth users leaving their children unattended for days as they cook, use and then sleep off the intense effects of methamphetamine.

America needs to be secure at home and abroad.

Our ability to effectively engage China and the Arab world rests on shared economic and political interests and mutual understanding.

We need safe communities that are free from methamphetamine and a federal commitment to stand next to state leadership and law enforcement in the fight against this epidemic.

Now more than ever, America needs an agenda for real change.

I can finally go home and tell the constituents, law enforcement, and leaders in Washington state that Congress is treating the meth problem with the same urgency and commitment that local communities have been treating it with for years.

I strongly support tax relief for the middle class.
