Wednesday, December 28th, 2011

Federal Way, WA – Congressman Adam Smith (WA-09) released the following statement today after the Washington State Redistricting Commission released new congressional district maps:

“I appreciate all of the time and hard work the redistricting commission put into producing these new congressional district maps.

“I am very pleased the new 9th Congressional District includes my hometown of SeaTac and much of the south sound region which I have represented as a state senator and a congressman.  I’m excited to run in this very diverse district.

“In the coming weeks and months I look forward to the opportunity to meet with community leaders, local elected officials and new residents to listen and learn about the most important issues facing their communities. Regardless of how the congressional lines have changed, I will continue to work hard, promote policies that encourage job creation and economic growth and make sure the people of the 9th Congressional District are heard and well-represented in Congress.”
