I sat down with Maddie Biertempfel in my DC office this week to discuss some of the most urgent issues facing Oregonians right now, including threats to student loans, the risk of wildfires, rising costs, the war in Iran, and more.

The companies and individuals who created this crisis must be held accountable, and that means giving injured parties their day in court. I will do everything I can to block this legislation and any other attempt to create a liability shield for polluters.
Carbon emissions are contributing to disease and damaging the environment. Granting immunity to oil and gas companies is immoral and would further harm people across the country who are already burdened by surging electricity bills, higher property insurance, and unaffordable health care costs.
It is abundantly clear that the priority of Republican lawmakers is to protect corporate polluters at the expense of people who pay higher bills, breathe dirtier air, and confront more climate-induced extreme weather events.

I'm introducing legislation to reverse the Trump administration's disastrous changes to the student loan rule. Learn more here: bonamici.house.gov/media/press-...
At the same time, this administration is spending billions of dollars on war and tax cuts for the wealthy that could go to helping students. Education Sec. McMahon had no good answers about these harmful policies.
The Trump administration is capping federal loans for students who want to be nurses, social workers, teachers, and enter many other professions. This means they may need to give up on their dreams or turn to high-interest, often predatory private lenders to complete their degrees.
The fact is that several, if not all, of what are really bureaucracy expansion agreements are illegal or unconstitutional and will make services more complicated and less accessible to students and families.
Today I demanded answers from Education Secretary McMahon about the ten so-called interagency agreements she made to transfer the administration of critical education programs to other federal agencies.
The hardworking, dedicated crew from the Artemis II mission visited the Science Committee! They have brought hope and inspiration to people here in the US and around the world, and they are inspiring us all to reach for the stars 🚀
Thank you to APANO for the wonderful event, Voices of Change: Igniting Embers, and for all you do in the community. We must celebrate and build collective strength as we work toward a better world.
I always appreciate visiting schools and speaking with students. Thank you to the staff and students at Joseph Gale Elementary in Forest Grove for a great visit!
Lili's brought tenacity and technology to her business, and I was glad to celebrate #smallbusinessweek with her.
My mom was a small business owner, and I saw the hard work, creativity, and patience that’s needed to run a small business. It was great to spend time with and learn from Lili Yeo, owner of Goumi, an online baby clothes retailer!
Happy Mother’s Day! Please take time today to thank a mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, or stepmom for all they do.
Good luck to the Portland Fire on their home opener! It’s wonderful to welcome professional women’s basketball back to the city.
I met in Cornelius with city staff and local officials to celebrate funding I secured for a new recreation center. This funding will deliver needed programming and resources to the community.
Like too many others across the country, Maria has had her life disrupted by the President’s illegal and aggressive tactics. I will continue to fight these inhumane policies and actions with policy and protest and in the legal system.
I’m grateful that Maria will finally be home with her family and will begin to recover from the anxiety caused by this egregious ICE overreach.
After ICE took Maria to detention, her husband had serious surgery and continues to require ongoing care. Both of Maria's children are young teens who had their mother ripped away -and both have experienced stress and mental health challenges trying to keep up in school and take care of their father
