In January of this year, four American citizens were released from Iranian custody in a prisoner swap that exchanged seven Iranians and removed 14 more Iranians from an international police watch list. At least, those were the details the White House made public at the time. Administration officials were quoted as saying the deal was “a one-time arrangement” and “not a precedent for the future.” The more we learn about the exchange, however, the more we find that the administration has not been up front about the deal, which in reality sets a far more dangerous precedent.

One of the best aspects of representing Central Washington in Congress is meeting the young people of all ages who will become the leaders and entrepreneurs of tomorrow. I recently visited the Boys & Girls Club in Moses Lake and a history class at Ellen Ochoa Middle School in Pasco, and after answering students’ many questions about Congress, I was filled with optimism when I caught a glimpse of our society’s future leaders.
