"These 20 projects meet real and urgent needs of neighbors across the 6th district. From upgrading emergency services to keep Mason County and Montesano families safe, to building more affordable housing in Pierce County - I'll keep fighting to include these important priorities in the federal funding bills." said Rep. Randall. "I'm proud to have secured $17.9 million for my neighbors in last years' funding package, and am eager to build on those investments."
