Today, U.S. Representative Rick Larsen (WA-02), voted against H.R. 1076, legislation that would slash funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and other public radio programming.

“I voted against these cuts that will hit PBS, NPR and other public radio broadcasting especially hard because these cuts are misguided attempts to stifle quality sources of information and entertainment,” said Rep. Larsen.

“Our local public television (KCTS) and radio stations (KUOW and KPLU, as well as other local public radio stations) are valuable regional assets that deserve our support. I will continue to support public radio and public broadcasting.”
