Merry Christmas from my family to yours! 🎄🎁
The Fresh Prince of Longworth 1508 👑
Americans have made it clear that they’re feeling the higher costs this holiday season, and I get it – I am too.
I’m calling on President Trump and Republicans in Congress to join me in getting to work on lowering costs. The American people can’t wait.

Our intern Alina came to our exit interview with some great questions to help me reflect on the last year – check out our conversation!

Speaker Johnson sent us home for the holidays without holding a vote to protect the ACA subsidies – unfortunately, I can’t say I’m surprised.
This means that in the new year, my constituents will see their costs rise by hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. It’s unacceptable.
With the unemployment rate the highest it’s been in years, it’s clear that we're moving in the wrong direction.
The President needs to focus on policies that center Americans, boost our economy, and create quality jobs.
We can’t continue down this path.

Thank you to all 8,700 of you who tuned into my telephone town hall last night. As always, thank you for bringing thoughtful questions and using your voices.
I’m so proud of the work we’ve done during my first year in office, and I’m excited about what’s to come!
We are expecting more heavy rain, potential flooding, and power outages heading into the weekend.
Please keep yourselves safe and take time to prepare – you can find more information on how to do so here: www.oregon.gov/oem/hazardsp...
It’s almost time for Christmas!
Kwasi and I got into the holiday spirit by tackling some of the world’s most controversial Christmas topics – white lights or colored lights, Frosty or Rudolph, and more 🎄
Tonight is the night!
Tune in to my last town hall of the year, where we’ll be recapping 2025 and looking ahead to 2026. Join at 6:00PM PT using the link below!

Yesterday, the petition to force a vote on extending ACA subsidies got the signatures it needed.
Put it on the Floor, Speaker Johnson – what are you afraid of?
I'm grateful to the six members of the Clackamas Fire District rescue team who have been out in Washington this week helping our neighbor state with life-saving operations.
My prayers are with the communities impacted by these devastating floods.

We're one step closer to getting this across the finish line – it just passed committee!
My bill is bipartisan, increases housing supply, and lowers costs – should be a no brainer for Speaker Johnson to put on the Floor for a vote.
This week, @ushousefsc.bsky.social is marking up my Accelerating Home Building Act, which means it’s one step closer to getting a vote on the House Floor.
It's about time Republicans came to their senses. Americans need lower healthcare costs now. I'll be voting yes.
Join me at 6:00PM PT this Thursday for our last telephone town hall of the year! I’ll be answering your questions about the work we’ve done this year and the work we plan to do in 2026!
If you’d like to join, you can RSVP using the link below!

I’m so glad that Martin reached out to my office when he had issues getting in touch with the Social Security Administration – that’s what we’re here for!
If you or someone you know needs assistance with a federal agency, you can call us at (503)387-8651, or visit my website at bynum.house.gov.
Oregon has some of the best produce you can get!
I headed over to the Oregon City Farmers Market to pick up some groceries for the week and learn about their Double Up SNAP program.
Some good news today! $126,000 is coming to CD5 for AmeriCorps senior volunteer programs!
Whether it's helping kids with special needs with their schoolwork or supporting older adults who need assistance, these volunteers make our community whole.
