From a young age, US Representative Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA) dreamed of making a difference in people’s lives. Now, as the first Hispanic Member of Congress from Washington state, she is living her dream. This fiercely independent advocate for her district, constituents, and the nation, sits on the powerful Appropriations Committee and co-founded the bipartisan Maternity Care Caucus, the first of its kind in Congress. This week, Congresswoman Beutler joins hosts Dee Martin and Anna Karakitsos from the US Capitol to tell her story about her journey to DC and her bipartisan leadership on maternal health, mental health, promoting American jobs, and more. Plus, she advises young people on how to get involved in causes important to them and explains why you need to “invite yourself to the party.”
