Congresswoman Kim Schrier represents Washington’s 8th Congressional District, which includes much of King, Pierce, Kittitas, and Chelan Counties, and portions of Douglas County.
Prior to being elected to Congress on November 6, 2018, Kim spent her career as a pediatrician in Issaquah, working with children across the Puget Sound region and helping families navigate the health care system. In Congress, Kim uses this expertise to inform her work on issues that improve the lives, health, and wellbeing of children.
I am the daughter of a public school teacher and the proud product of public schooling, from elementary through medical school. I believe that schools must receive proper funding and support because children should be guaranteed a good education regardless of their zip code. I understand the importance of quality early learning programs, educational equity and knows that when we support teachers, the next generation benefits too. As a member of the Committee on Education and Labor, I have the opportunity to work directly for Washington’s schools and ensure all children receive a quality, well-rounded education.
