If Republicans have their way with cuts to Medicaid, centers like Mosaic Community Health won't be able to provide the same level of care for our neighbors. I met with Jean, a patient representative, who shared a little bit about her work in Central Oregon that would be impacted.
I thought it was supposed to be other countries that paid the price of tariffs, DJT! The truth comes out... and it's exactly what we've been saying. The American people will foot the bill for this administration's chaotic and misguided policies. www.cnn.com/2025/05/15/b...
Republicans and Trump are touting a “big, beautiful bill," but I'm confused – what exactly do they find “beautiful” about taking healthcare away from Americans? Keep your hands off our earned benefits. This country isn't working as it should if we're leaving people behind.
This week is #PoliceWeek – if the President is truly supportive of safer communities, he should quit cutting funding for programs that work to keep them that way. We can't let our neighbors down.
I had a great roundtable discussion with the Latino Community Association this past weekend. We talked about the challenges folks are facing, and the ways we can better support the Latino community in a meaningful way.
Had a great weekend in Deschutes! Thank you to everyone who came out to our town hall. I’m bringing your stories back to DC with me today to continue the fight against Republicans’ devastating cuts to Medicaid.
I'm so glad that when Ann had an issue with her missing Social Security checks, she reached out to our office. If you have any problems with a federal agency, my office is always here to help – call (503) 387-8651!
Mosaic Community Health serves over 27,000 people in Central Oregon. I chatted with CEO Megan Haase about the critical role Medicaid plays in providing access to health care in our communities.
Sisters, you brought the energy this weekend! Thank you for showing up and showing out at my town hall with Senator Merkley – this is what democracy looks like. I’m proud to fight for you and represent this district.
NeighborImpact served an average of 83,000 people per month this year. Due to funding cuts, they’re now receiving 17% less food, and are not able to offer meat in their meals. I led a letter demanding an end to the freeze, so they can continue to help families put food on the table."
As the daughter of two educators, I'm so excited to wish all the teachers out there a happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek. Your hard work behind the scenes and in the classroom does not go unnoticed. Know you are loved.
When it comes to helping people start new businesses, we should be encouraging growth, not putting up red tape they have to cut through.  My bipartisan ELEVATE Act removes barriers for small businesses and helps them hit the ground running.
It’s #NationalSmallBusinessWeek, and I’ve visited some pretty fire places in the district this month 🔥 Aina Kauai Grill 🍽️ 10/10 Fresco & Fryed 🥙 10/10 Mount Angel Sausage Co 🌭 10/10 Leave your recs below!
