The Republican Farm Bill leaves Oregon’s farmers, producers, and families behind. That’s why I introduced 13 amendments to support farmers, protect immigrants, and lower housing costs. We need to help all Americans not just get by, but get ahead.
Journalists do the hard work of asking questions, telling the truth, and helping the public understand what is happening around them. Violence can never be part of that story. I’m praying for the safety of everyone in attendance at the White House Correspondents Dinner tonight.
The Trump Administration is trying to gut funding that supports our rural students. I am not having it. I wrote a letter to the Department of Education to protect the funding.
Early childhood education programs give our kids a real chance to thrive in school. Thank you, Clackamas County Head Start, for showing up for every child in our community.
Big congrats to Anshu for winning OR-05’s Congressional App Challenge this year! Anshu developed an app, Grub.io, that connects those in need with extra meals, helping tackle food insecurity while also reducing food waste. We are so glad to have you in DC this week!
Whether you’re in kindergarten or trade school, the next generation needs us to step up so they break out of the cycle of just getting by. Just getting by isn’t good enough for my kids, and it’s not good enough for yours.
🚨I secured over $6 million for  rural schools in OR-05! 🚨 It’s a different game for rural schools in Oregon. Longer distances from home and class. Fire seasons that show no mercy. Money can’t fix everything but our students, parents, and teachers will be the first to tell you it can help.
Owning a home should not be an out of reach goal. Thank you to the Mortgage Bankers Association for stopping by to talk about how we can continue to expand access to affordable housing.
