Please Welcome Eddie Williams and Congressman Adam Smith, Our Newest Bloggers

During the last week, Bellevue Patch has welcomed Congressman Adam Smith and five-year NFL veteran Eddie Williams as its newest bloggers.

In his first blog, Smith writes an open invite to an annual event he hosts, called 9th District Day. The event aims to bring together Washington state constituents, policy experts, and media leaders in Washington D.C.   

Do you have a question for Congressman Smith? Type it in the comment section below, and we'll do our best to have it answered.

Williams descibes himself as a Christian, a husband and a father, and public speaker, who is pursuing his Masters of Divinity at Re:train in Seattle. In his first post, 3 Reasons it's tough to be a Christian in the NFL, Williams answers the question, "what’s it like being a Christian in the NFL?"
