I will continue to advocate for NW Oregon’s small businesses and for trade policy that grows rather than hurts the economy.
But the U.S. will never be able to produce enough coffee to meet the demand for everyone in the United States. With the small margin in the business and the tariffs, the country will see businesses laying off staff or closing and higher unemployment.
Trump’s tariffs on coffee beans are a perfect example of how and why his trade wars are illogical and bad for the economy. Because of climate, coffee beans can only grow in certain regions of the world, and the only place they can grow in the United States is in Hawaii.
I support the case challenging the President’s authority and I thank Oregon’s Attorney General for the successful ruling to stop the tariffs, but there is still an appeal and a lot of uncertainty.
Local coffee roasters and leaders in the coffee industry explained how Trump’s disastrous tariffs on coffee beans and other supplies are hurting their businesses.
The rise of antisemitic attacks is deeply concerning. Horrific violence like this has no place in our country. We must recommit to fighting hate in all its forms. My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the Boulder community.

The country is stronger because of our diversity. As a senior member of the Education Committee, I will continue to advocate for universities, students, and faculty in Oregon and work to stop these shortsighted research cuts.
The Trump administration and DOGE have cancelled millions in grant funding that was spurring innovative research at Oregon’s universities. This anti-science agenda will set back science and technology and leave U.S. industries less competitive in the global economy.
I’m thrilled that more students will have the opportunity to receive a world-class education from UO in the heart of NE Portland. Go Ducks!
It was exciting to celebrate the grand opening of the University of Oregon’s Portland campus. As a double Duck who attended journalism school and law school in Eugene, UO was critical to my career path.
To trans Oregonians and Americans who are experiencing the same fear as Ada and her family: I will always advocate for your rights and freedoms.
The anti-trans rhetoric and legislation pushed by the Trump administration and GOP politicians has real consequences for real people.
Ada should be able to live her life like any other teenager.
A year ago, a trans teenager won a track championship in Oregon and became a target for conservative commentators and online agitators.
“I think people think I want to be this spotlight for trans people,” she said. “Not at all. I just like running.”

Thank you to Cedar Sinai Park for inviting me to hold a town hall meeting with residents. It was meaningful to hear their concerns and answer their questions about education, Social Security and Medicare cuts, the GOP's Big Bad Budget Bill, and how to advocate for democracy.
I’ll take their stories with me when I go back to Washington D.C. and make the case that these are good investments that help grow the economy.
The Minority Business Development Agency assists small businesses with free business coaching, classes, and access to loans. I heard from local small business owners about the support they received from the Business Impact NW and their concerns as Trump targets this successful program.
In my visit with Rep. Salinas we saw the new dormitory and programs building, the wood shop, and the site where Blanchet House is planning to build a metal fab and welding shop for residents.
Blanchet Farm is a unique program where men with substance addiction can work on the farm, recover, and gain skills that will help them with sobriety and self-worth.
In this edition of Mailbag Minute, I highlight some letters I received urging support for public education and public libraries.
As the front of one of the cards said, we need to “speak out” and “oppose censorship.”
I helped secure federal funding for the clinic when it was in my district, and I will continue to fight to protect Medicaid funding for Virginia Garcia and other community health centers in NW Oregon.
