The following day, April 10, she highlighted a meeting with Washougal city officials: “My friends from the City of Washougal. We share the same priorities in getting the 32nd St Rail Crossing project across the finish line and had a great talk about building water system upgrades and ensuring our water utilities and ratepayers don’t have to bear the brunt of PFAS”.
On April 12, Gluesenkamp Perez commented on new federal funding: “This is welcome news for us in Southwest Washington. I’m grateful to federal partners and to our local leaders who are putting in the work to make sure this money lands where it’s needed most. My office stands ready to provide assistance.”
