WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Kim Schrier, M.D. (WA-08) released the statement below following the termination of the Kroger-Albertsons merger and messy fall-out and lawsuit between the two grocery giants:
ELLENSBURG, Wash.-The Kroger-Albertson's grocery store merger has been blocked by a federal judge, and now Albertson's is suing Kroger for a breach of contract.
“Between letters, phone calls, conversations, hearings, I have been on this for about two years now, pushing the FTC to deny this merger," said Democratic Congresswoman Kim Schrier of the 8th Congressional District.

WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswomen Kim Schrier, M.D. (WA-08) and Suzan DelBene (WA-01) recently led 12 House Members in calling for the Biden administration to provide flexibility around the implementation of the Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit (45V Credit) so federal regulations don’t hinder the development of our nascent hydrogen economy. The proposed rules, while well-intentioned, are overly prescriptive and could result in the loss of half of Hydrogen Hub projects across the country.
EVERETT — Three local lawmakers are urging the Biden administration to edit the Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit to create flexibility for regional energy economies.
U.S. Reps. Suzan DelBene, D-Medina, Kim Schrier, D-Sammamish, and Rick Larsen, D-Everett, argue a strict section of the proposed rule undermines the intention of supporting the country’s growth of a hydrogen energy market. They say tight federal guidelines may be counterproductive in states that already have clean energy policies, like Washington.
