In Oregon, Planned Parenthood serves 110,000 patients a year, many of whom rely on Medicaid for treatment. The Republicans' budget cuts will make it harder for women to access the care they need. Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette CEO Dr. Sara Kennedy has the facts ⬇️
Job Corps cuts mean losing skilled youth working with orgs like Bend-Redmond Habitat for Humanity to address the housing crisis. Secretary Chavez-DeRemer of all people should know how important the program is to Oregon. Can't say I'm shocked she's not looking out for our best interests...

On Memorial Day, we remember the fallen, who gave their all to this nation. We promise to never forget the sacrifices they made, their courage in the face of danger, and the freedoms they fought to preserve. To those who have lost loved ones, I am keeping you in my prayers.
