“While many are still under investigation, 90% of Washington's wildfires are human-caused — they could have been prevented. Do everything you can to prevent new fires from starting. Avoid activities that could cause sparks. Our firefighters need us to do our part. #WaWILDFIRE”Happy Labor Day! Today, we honor and celebrate the contributions of American workers.
This is a meaningful day for me. My father was a ramp serviceman at SeaTac Airport and active in the local Machinist’s Union. I know firsthand how important labor unions are in the lives of American workers and their families, which is why I have consistently supported workers’ rights and will continue to support legislation that protects our workforce as long as I am in Congress.
It's Medicare Open Enrollment time for seniors but consider this: routine dental care is not an included Medicare benefit. It's time to return the mouth to the body because oral health is health and dental coverage is health coverage. #teethmatter
Thank you, dental hygienists, for your commitment to #oralhealth. #teethmatter

It is preferable to prevent disease than to treat people after they get sick. Health measures like vaccination and water fluoridation make a profound difference in the health, wellbeing and quality of life for all. #teethmatter #ivax2protect
Distance learning means reduced oral health care access for many students living in underserved and lower-income communities. But thanks to Toothsavers of Washington, Spokane-area children who get care through school-based health centers and school sealant programs have options. #teethmatter http://ow.ly/mFC550Ba2Px
More than 8 million children in the US get their primary health care from a community health center. From well-child checks to book drives to fun runs and first dental visit, CHCs host events that will help children feel healthy, happy, and empowered now and in the future. #ValueCHCs #NHCW20 #teethmatter
Everyone deserves quality health care. Thanks to community health center professionals, vulnerable individuals and underserved rural, urban and suburban communities have received excellent preventive and comprehensive medical, dental and behavioral health care since the first CHCs opened in 1965. #teethmatter #ValueCHCs @NHCW20
Community health centers have a proud tradition of bipartisan support because they provide quality comprehensive, patient-centered, preventive care that has shown to improve health and lower healthcare costs. #teethmatter #ValueCHCs #NHCW20
