Washington, D.C. — U.S. Representative Rick Larsen (WA-02) is hosting U.S. Representative Gene Taylor (D-MS) in the 2nd District this week. Taylor is Chairman of the Seapower and Expeditionary Forces Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee, which has oversight of the U.S. Navy. Monday and Tuesday, Larsen and Taylor will tour Naval Air Station Whidbey Island and Naval Station Everett, and meet with local shipbuilders and leaders from Northwest Washington’s maritime industry.
“Congressman Taylor is the Congressional leader on Navy issues, and I’m thrilled that he is joining me this week to learn about Northwest Washington’s maritime industry, tour one of the Navy’s premier Air Stations, and learn why Naval Station Everett is the sailor’s choice,” said Larsen.
Larsen is a member of the House Armed Services Committee and a member of Taylor’s subcommittee, which has oversight of Navy issues.
Also this week, Larsen will address the Everett Rotary on Tuesday, and join U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) and other leaders for a rally with Boeing workers at the Machinists Hall in Everett on Wednesday.
