It was an honor to help Bob and his family get his uncle’s funeral scheduled at Arlington National Cemetery. If you’re having issues with a federal agency, please contact my Beaverton office via email or phone: bonamici.house.gov/contact/email

Graphic sharing constituent testimony, with photo of constituent's uncle as a young man from his enlistment. “My uncle, Robert D. Jenks, was killed in the battle of Tarawa during WWII. His body was not recovered and identified until 2019. After discussing with my relatives, we agreed that a burial at Arlington National Cemetery made sense. I contacted Congresswoman Bonamici’s office after waiting months to hear back about the funeral. Thanks to the office’s advocacy, we were able to get the funeral approved and are in the process of selecting a date.” -Bob Jenks, Portland

With the help of Congresswoman Bonamici’s office, my uncle—a WWII Marine—will finally receive a funeral that honors his sacrifice.” -Bob Jenks, Portland

It's unacceptable to ask Americans to pay more to file their taxes. This request from some of my GOP colleagues only benefits the few wealthy corporations that dominate the tax preparation industry.

new republican day one priority: making it harder and more expensive to file your taxes

NEW: Reps. Adrian Smith and Chuck Edwards wrote Trump a letter today urging him to terminate the IRS’s new free tax filing service, otherwise known as Direct File, on “day one” through an executive order.

It’s co-signed by 27 House Republicans.

My colleagues continue to use our limited time to denounce so-called “woke” education, but they often can’t define what that means. When I asked one of them to clarify what he meant in a hearing earlier this Congress, I didn’t get an answer. youtube.com/shorts/LEgTr...

But our recent hearing showed that many of my colleagues ignore that law when they challenge what they don’t like; so-called “woke” curriculum.

Giving families a safe, comfortable place to stay is key to helping them transition out of homelessness and into permanent housing. That’s why I’m proud to support the Project Turnkey Act, which would take Oregon's successful program nationwide.

My Project Turnkey Act would scale up this successful program nationally and provide more resources, including rental assistance, housing counseling, and other supports.

Project Turnkey is helping Oregonians experiencing homelessness gain the stability they need to find permanent housing, but housing is still too expensive or unavailable in many communities.

It is shameful that Trump’s billionaire friends are proposing budget cuts that would hurt veterans and children, especially when his previous administration added trillions to the national debt by giving tax cuts to the wealthy. But these proposed cuts are just that—proposals.

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.
