Seattle-area Reps. Dave Reichert and Suzan DelBene stuck with their respective parties in Thursday’s predawn hours, as a Republican-backed bill to abolish large portions of former President Obama’s health-care law moved forward. Reichert voted with his fellow Republicans to advance the bill through the House Ways and Means Committee, while DelBene sided with every Democrat in opposing it. Reichert and DelBene are the only two Washington representatives who sit on the committee. |
