[constituency_baseline] District summary: Washington's 2nd Congressional District encompasses the northwestern corner of the state, including all of Island, San Juan, Skagit, and Whatcom counties, plus coastal western Snohomish County including Everett and Mukilteo. With approximately 781,265 residents, it is a safe Democratic seat (Cook PVI D+28, D shift +8) that Larsen has represented since 2001. The district has a median household income of $90,029 — more than double the national median — and a poverty rate of 6.9% (ACS) to 11% (Data USA broader measure). The population is 71.4% White (Non-Hispanic), 12.8% Hispanic, and 7.2% Asian, with 93.7% U.S. citizens and 13.6% foreign-born. Median home values are $616,700 with a 64.7% homeownership rate. 36.8% hold bachelor's degrees, above the 33.7% national average. The economy is anchored by aerospace manufacturing (Boeing's Everett plant — the largest building in the world by volume — employs over 20,000 workers), the U.S. Navy (Naval Station Everett), agriculture (Skagit Valley tulips, berries, dairy), tourism (San Juan Islands), and maritime industries (fishing, ports, ferries). The district is car-dependent: 68.2% drive alone with a 25.6-minute average commute. Key local concerns include Boeing employment stability, Navy Growler jet noise on Whidbey Island, agricultural trade policy, healthcare access in rural communities, and ferry/transportation infrastructure. Larsen serves as Ranking Member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and previously served 22 years on the House Armed Services Committee.

Voted nay on H.R. 4 (Rescissions Act of 2025 — On Passage) on 2025-06-13: Larsen voted Nay (214-212) on the Republican rescissions package, stating: 'I voted no on the package of funding cuts the Trump administration put forward because it is bad for families and kids.' He invoked his own childhood experience: 'My sons grew up on Head Start and WIC — these programs make a difference.' The AFL-CIO scored his vote with working people. His vote against spending cuts was consistent with his progressive brand, but his subsequent credit-claiming for earmarks within broader spending packages created a messaging tension.

Only 4 Democrats joined all Republicans. His district is 93.7% citizens — the ID requirements would create limited practical barriers for most constituents. The NW Washington News reported his Nay vote, aligning with the League of Women Voters' characterization of the bill as voter suppression.

Voted nay on H.R. 5371 (Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026 — Ending the 43-Day Government Shutdown) on 2025-11-12: Larsen voted Nay on ending the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. He cited healthcare concerns: '26,000 people I represent' facing skyrocketing costs and '8,000 people I represent' losing health coverage. His district's 6.9% poverty rate meant SNAP recipients and federal workers were directly harmed by the prolonged shutdown. His statement also criticized Trump's 'unhinged' attack on air traffic controllers, reflecting his Transportation Committee leadership. Six House Democrats crossed party lines to vote Yea; Larsen was not among them. The NRCC later documented he took credit for community project funding made possible by the same appropriations process, earning him a spot on their 'hypocrisy tour' list. The vote illustrates a Democrat choosing long-term healthcare policy over immediate constituent relief from shutdown impacts.

Voted nay on H.R. 7567 (Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 (Farm Bill) — On Passage) on 2026-04-30: Larsen voted Nay (224-200) and was a prominent Democratic voice against the bill, citing that 'Republicans are doing nothing in this Farm Bill to lower food prices for families, lower costs for farmers or lower tariffs.' He offered an amendment to increase Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network funding and cosponsored an amendment to repeal SNAP cuts. His district includes significant agricultural areas (Skagit Valley, Whatcom County), and he cited the 129,000 Washingtonians who would lose SNAP benefits. Only 14 Democrats crossed party lines; Larsen was not among them. The AFL-CIO scored this vote favorably.

Voted nay on H.R. 5009 / S. 1071 (National Defense Authorization Acts — FY2025 (Nay) and FY2026 (Nay)) on 2024-06-14: Larsen voted against both the FY2025 and FY2026 NDAAs despite serving 22 years on the Armed Services Committee and representing a district that includes Naval Station Everett and is home to over 20,000 Boeing employees. He cited anti-LGBTQ+ and reproductive healthcare provisions as his primary objection. Yet his own press releases touted the military pay raises, Impact Aid for Oak Harbor schools, and frigate homeporting he had secured within the bills. The vote illustrates the tension between progressive values and supporting the military authorization that funds his district's largest private employer (Boeing) and naval installations. For FY2025, 81 Democrats crossed over to support the bill; Larsen did not. His Boeing PAC donors ($106,000) had a direct stake in the bill's defense spending.

Voted yea on H.R. 8035 (Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 ($60.8 billion)) on 2024-04-20: Larsen was a vocal advocate for Ukraine aid, releasing multiple statements calling Putin's invasion 'a war of aggression' and urging the House GOP to bring aid to the floor. All 210 Democrats supported the bill, making this party-aligned. Larsen cited the 'thousands of Ukrainians and Ukrainian Americans who call Washington state home' and condemned Republican 'gamesmanship.' His robust support for U.S. force projection abroad — while later opposing domestic defense authorization and DHS funding — creates a selective national-security voting pattern.

Voted nay on H.R. 7147 (Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026 — On Passage (January and March 2026)) on 2026-03-05: Larsen voted against DHS/ICE funding multiple times, declaring: 'I will not vote to fund ICE unless DHS agents follow the same rules as every other law enforcement agency.' As Ranking Member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee with jurisdiction over FEMA, Coast Guard, and TSA, he co-sponsored legislation to fund every DHS agency except ICE, CBP, and the Secretary's office. His district includes Naval Station Everett and Coast Guard Sector Puget Sound, giving the DHS funding fight a direct constituent-services nexus. However, he was one of 21 Democrats who voted in February 2026 for a temporary DHS funding extension, creating a nuanced enforcement-vs.-governing record.

Voted nay on H.R. 1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act — On Motion to Concur in the Senate Amendment) on 2025-07-03: Larsen voted with all 212 Democrats against the OBBB (218-214), calling it 'the Big Ugly Bill' and stating it is 'not about deficit reduction' but 'about cutting spending in order to pay for tax cuts for the richest Americans and largest corporations.' His district's $90,029 median income and $616,700 median home value meant some constituents would benefit from the SALT cap increase to $40,000, but Larsen prioritized opposition to the bill's $930 billion in Medicaid cuts — 129,000 Washingtonians stood to lose SNAP benefits due to new work requirements. The AFL-CIO scored his vote 'Right.' Larsen also voted Nay on first passage on May 22, 2025.

His district is 93.7% citizens with 13.6% foreign-born — immigration enforcement has modest direct impact. 46 Democrats crossed party lines to support the bill; Larsen was not among them. His Nay vote aligned with his progressive base but distinguished him from moderates like Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03), who voted Yea. Larsen did not issue a prominent public statement on this vote, unlike his more forceful messaging on DHS/ICE funding months later.
