With Rep. Grijalva’s signature, we can now force a vote on the House Floor to release the Epstein files.
Republicans didn’t want this, and that’s why they held up the process.
Americans deserve the truth. It’s time they get it.

To our veterans: thank you for your service. I’ll continue fighting in Congress to make sure you have the support you’ve earned and deserve.
In addition to feeding our neighbors, Hunger Fighters Oregon also provides hygiene and cleaning supplies to those in need.
Learn more about their work and how cuts to SNAP are impacting their ability to support our community ⬇️
Ahead of Veterans Day, I hosted a roundtable discussion to reaffirm my commitment to addressing the challenges our veterans face.
I am committed to honoring the service and sacrifices of our veterans.
After 40 days of a shutdown, the Senate deal does nothing to address the cuts to or cost of Americans’ healthcare.
That’s unacceptable.
I’ve been ready to work on and vote for a deal that ends the shutdown and makes life better for Oregonians, but that’s just not what this is.
We’re over a month into the government shutdown – I want to hear from you.
If you or someone you know has been impacted, please share your story with me using the link below. It’s your stories that fuel this fight.

Last night, a final decision confirmed what we’ve known all along: we don’t need or want the President’s troops in Portland.
It’s time for him to follow the law and stop spreading lies about our city.

I’m proud that Oregon has taken action to make sure everyone can put food on the table this month.
Feeding our families shouldn’t be a partisan issue.
The President is playing political games with people’s lives, and we won’t stand for it.

The Republican shutdown is about to cause mass delays and cancellations at PDX.
I’m calling on the state to pay our TSA workers and air traffic controllers – Oregonians shouldn’t suffer because of Republicans’ inability to fund the government.
My full statement ⬇️
Yesterday, I spoke on a US Chamber housing panel about how we can work together to make homeownership a reality for everyone.
We don’t have 20 years to figure out how to house our kids – we need to figure that out now.
The government shutdown is having devastating impacts across the state, including on search and rescue operations.
I spoke with Fred about how this is impacting his ability to do his job as a 911 dispatcher ⬇️
People from across Oregon have been writing to my office concerned about their healthcare costs going up.
I'll continue fighting to reverse cuts in Republicans' trash budget and to make healthcare more accessible, not less.
Groceries, utilities, rent, gas, you name it – they’re all more expensive under this Administration.
I’m in Congress to lower costs and make life better for my constituents. Speaker Johnson needs to call back the House and do the work.

This weekend, I met with local AFSCME leaders and food bank staff to discuss how the shutdown is impacting their ability to support our communities.
Republicans need to come to the table – Oregonians can't afford for this to continue.

SNAP allows students like Michaela to get out of “survival mode,” and focus on their education.
The President needs to stop playing political games with people’s lives and fully fund this essential program.
Each week the shutdown drags on, our economy is losing $15 billion and millions of people are seeing their healthcare costs rise.
Americans aren’t looking for their government to break records – Republicans need to come back from vacation and get to work.
I’m an engineer by training, which means I know we can innovate our way out of our biggest problems – including the housing crisis.
My new bill, the Accelerating Home Building Act, invests in creative solutions that speed up construction processes so more families in Oregon can afford a home.
