Big shoutout to everyone who attended today’s town hall with @wyden.senate.gov and me!  Thank you for sharing what’s on your mind. I promise to keep up the fight in Congress.
Buying a home should not take 20+ years. Right now, we don’t have enough houses, building new ones takes too long, and young people are getting priced out. My K-30 agenda helps first-time homebuyers save and builds more housing. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Regardless of location, every child deserves access to a high-quality education that meets their needs, which is exactly why I introduced the Invest in Rural Teachers Act as part of my K-30 plan.
Today, I sent a letter to the Trump Administration demanding answers about an administrative error that cost the St. Charles health system in Bend $6 million. Rural hospitals are essential, and mistakes like this put patient care at risk.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: what we’re seeing is state sponsored terror. I’m calling on the administration to get out of our city, follow the law, and hold those responsible accountable. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...
Calling all elementary and middle schools in our district! Join Team Bynum in honoring our brave veterans by creating cards of appreciation through our office’s first-ever Valentines for Vets program. For more information, please visit my website here: bynum.house.gov/services/val...
