Health care
Candidate position
The American people deserve a nation that is safe, just, and secure for all. This means housing and health care they can afford, stable jobs, safe neighborhoods with strong schools, and retiring with dignity. I am proud of my record to protect our civil rights and voting rights, honor tribal treaties, and delivering for the people of the South Sound.

Marilyn's Priorities
Candidate position
Protecting Access to Health Care. Too few Americans have access to health care that is actually affordable. Nobody should die or face bankruptcy because they can’t afford to visit their doctor. I will continue to stand up to extreme attempts to take away health care from Americans, protect Medicare, and make health care more affordable.

Health care
Candidate position
But our work is not done. Too many hard-working families, seniors, farmers, and small businesses feel squeezed by the rising cost of gas, groceries, utilities, housing, child-care, and elder-care. It’s why I oppose Trump’s tariffs, his cuts to health care and food assistance, and the cruel chaos of this administration.

Every numbered U.S. House roll call published by the Clerk during the configured service window is reconciled through the member's exact Bioguide ID. Clerk XML through 2002 does not publish Bioguide IDs, so those rows require a candidate-specific official House identity and service bridge plus one unique exact published-name, party, and state tuple. A published roll without an identity-safe row is retained as an explicit source omission and is not labeled as a vote or absence. Voice votes and other actions without member-level roll calls are outside this archive.
