Nurses are an essential part of our healthcare system. Some of my Oregon colleagues joined me in urging leaders at the Oregon Nurses Association and Providence to come to the table in good faith and negotiate a fair contract.

Image of a letter sent to ONA and Providence.

Dear Ms. Tan Piazza and Mr. Hochman,
We write today to express our fervent hope that Providence and the Oregon Nurses Association (ONA) will come together in good faith and expeditiously negotiate - around the clock if necessary - for new employment contracts for the nearly 6,000 doctors, certified nurse midwives, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, and clinical staff in the Providence system across the state of Oregon. These dedicated doctors, nurses, and clinical staff have taken the extraordinary step to authorize strikes in Portland, Medford, Hood River, Seaside, Milwaukie, Oregon City, Newberg, and beyond. Without a prompt resolution we risk a significant disruption to the health care system in Oregon. These skilled clinicians seek competitive wages and benefits and adequate staffing levels so they can provide the quality patient care that Oregonians deserve and expect. The last few years have not been easy for anyone in health care, and the health care system continues to face a variety of challenges. Providence nurses, doctors, and clinical staff provide needed and often life-saving care to many vulnerable patients and a strike of this scale would significantly interrupt access to, and continuity of, care. Nurses and clinical staff are on the frontlines of health care and are essential in every part of the system, including in the care and experience of each patient and their family or loved ones. They know each patient’s needs and have a vital perspective on safe staffing and quality care. Hospital administrators have an acute awareness of the challenges of running a health care facility and
system.

Second page of letter.

We appreciate that Providence and ONA both share the goal of providing excellent patient care and experiences. We remain hopeful that this shared goal can lead to a timely resolution of contract negotiations; a resolution that fosters a renewed spirit of collaboration and partnership between Providence and the nurses and clinical staff represented by the Oregon Nurses Association. As representatives of Oregon in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate, we often speak of the Oregon way. The Oregon way upholds innovation and collaboration and brings people together to solve problems, despite differences. It is creative, respectful, and full of promise. We urge you to swiftly bring the spirit of the Oregon way to your negotiations. On behalf of the millions of Oregonians we represent, it is our sincere hope that ONA and Providence negotiate contracts in good faith as quickly and amiably as possible. Thank you for your attention to this important matter and for your consideration of our request.

Sincerely,

Suzanne Bonamici, Member of Congress; Val Hoyle, Member of Congress; Andrea Salinas, Member of Congress; Earl Blumenauer, Member of Congress; Jeffrey A. Merkley, United States Senator; Ron Wyden, United States Senator.

I helped pass the legislation that made these investments possible, and I’ll continue to advocate for the resources Oregonians need.

NW Oregon and the rest of our state received significant federal investments this year to help rebuild crumbling infrastructure, clean up pollution, and advance environmental justice.

List: $2.1B for the Interstate Bridge Replacement; $450M for reconnecting the Lower Albina neighborhood; $197M for reducing climate pollution; $20M for clean school buses in Beaverton; and $1M for rehabilitating Pier 2 in Astoria.

Community Project Funding for NW Oregon: $16.8 million.

I’ve created a Starter Pack of House Democrats (and committee) accounts! I’ll continue adding as more of us join. No matter what dysfunction we may face in the coming months and years, House Democrats are here in the People’s House to fight for the people — it’s simple. go.bsky.app/QcpzVmz

Communicating the benefits of a clean, green future to rural, urban, and coastal regions will empower families in every state to make smart decisions for themselves and the climate. I participated in two roundtable discussions about ocean health and the need to invest in coastal communities.

It was great to participate in the Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition (SEEC) Institute’s inaugural Summit. We had productive conversations about how clean energy and environmental stewardship will create quality jobs, lower costs, and strengthen the economy.

UPDATE: The National Weather Service has now cancelled the tsunami warning for Northern California and parts of Southern Oregon. My office will continue to monitor the situation. www.opb.org/article/2024...

Tsunami warning expires along southern Oregon, northern California coast

A tsunami warning is in place for coastal areas of northern California and southern Oregon, after a 7-point-3-magnitude earthquake struck about 45 miles southwest of Eureka, California.

Good news (preliminary): There does not appear to have been a damaging tsunami generated from this quake. Other areas of California and Oregon still under tsunami warnings should be cleared within the next 30min-1 hour. Continue monitoring tsunami.gov for updates!

Take the advice that if you are in a tsunami warning area, evacuate inland or to higher ground above and beyond designated tsunami hazard zones or move to an upper floor of a multi-story building depending on your situation.

I encourage you to read their declarations and learn more about their stories: www.aclu.org/cases/l-w-v-...

Screenshot from the end of L.W.'s plantiff declaration in Skrmetti. "My parents have talked with me a little bit about what we might have to do if this law goes into effect. We might have to leave Tennessee, which is really unfair – Tennessee is the place I love and have lived my entire life, and my family and friends are all here. I don’t know what my parents would do about their jobs, or even where we would go. It scares me to think about losing the medication that I need and I hate that continuing it could mean leaving my home. It scares me even more that laws like these will further alienate transgender people like me from the rest of society and dehumanize us in the eyes of other people. I declare under the penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct."

We should also recognize the bravery of the young plaintiffs and their doctors who are bringing this case to the nation’s highest court to fight for the rights of trans teens and their families to make health care decisions that are in their own best interest.

As a Vice Chair of the Equality Caucus I joined an amicus brief in US v. Skrmetti to urge the Supreme Court to uphold the rights of trans teens to access the health care they need. 🧵

I am honored to sponsor this legislation to recognize her contributions to NW Oregon by naming this post office – which is close to the home where she spent her final days – in her honor so people will be inspired by her example for years to come.

Congress must fully fund tsunami hazard mitigation and research to better prepare the Pacific Northwest and save lives.
