Republicans are trying to cut an agency that plays a huge role in protecting student borrowers and their families.
We should be doing everything we can to support students working toward their future, not making it easier for bad actors to take advantage of them.

The CFPB’s work keeps my constituents’ hard-earned money where it belongs: in their pockets.
Unless I see proof that funding cuts won’t change that, I won’t get behind rolling back its powers.
🧵2/6
I'm focused on lowering costs and protecting American families. The bills we reviewed today and @ushousefsc.bsky.social do the opposite.
I introduced five amendments that actually address issues we came here to work on.
Watch below ⬇️

President Scholz stopped by for a conversation about how @uoregon.bsky.social is navigating funding cuts while keeping students safe and supported.
Thanks for stopping by, and for all your hard work to keep your Ducks in a row 🦆
I’m an engineer by trade, which makes me a #WomanInSTEM 🔬⚙️
Spoke with some amazing young women about how we can and should train and recruit more women for careers in cybersecurity and other STEM fields.
I met the Central Catholic High School Constitution Team on their way back from DC after competing in the We the People National Invitational competition.
Now, they're leaving DC as national champions!
Way to represent Oregon, and Go Rams!
100 days of chaos, confusion, and uncertainty.
It’s been 100 days of the Trump admin throwing things at the wall to see what sticks.
That includes tariffs, which are already hurting Oregon families and businesses.
I’m fighting back with my Protecting Families From Inflation Act.
Last week, AG Dan Rayfield sued the Trump admin over tariffs impacting our state.
This Saturday, I’ll be joining him at the OSU Cascades Campus for a town hall.
Join us for a conversation about our work to lower costs and stand up for Oregonians.
Ride-along Q&A with Chief Todd Gary! We had a lot in common, including our love for Oregon’s forests 🌲💚
On my flight to DC this morning, I met Larry, a veteran from Canby, who is heading to Washington for his first honor flight.
Thank you for your service, Larry, and thanks for saying hi!
I welcomed the Civil Air Patrol to my district office last week, including some up-and-coming young cadets 🫡
I heard all about their drills, emergency service trainings, and of course, the flying program! CAP is growing incredible leaders who can truly rise to any challenge.
As we head back to DC for votes next week, my constituent, Teri, hopes we can work across the aisle to get things done.
I’ll work with anyone – Democrat, Republican, Independent – to make life better for Oregonians.
It was great to sit down with Oregon REALTORS to discuss housing affordability and how we can work together to give everyone a fair shot at homeownership.
On @ushousefsc.bsky.social, I’m focused on making housing more affordable, insurance more reliable, and mortgage lending fairer.
The best part of my job is meeting with all of you. Whether there are two of you or two hundred, I'll always show up.
Read more about my day in Silverton!

A cup of coffee & conversations with Oregonians at Silverton Coffee Station – what could be better? ☕
Thanks to all who came out in Silverton! I’m looking forward to more Brews with Bynum stops across the district!
Donald Trump is shutting down programs that help our kids succeed – and he doesn’t have the power to do it.
I signed onto an amicus brief to not only protect the Department of Education, but to also protect our democracy.
Caldera High School's vocal jazz group, "Inversion," beat out 20 schools last week to take home 1ST PLACE at one of the largest and oldest jazz festivals in the world🥇🎶
Congratulations on this huge accomplishment! You make #OR05 proud!

Pacific Seafood, which produces 2 MILLION pounds of fish and other proteins every month, is headquartered right here in Oregon’s 5th!
Huge thank you to the staff for showing me around and showing off all the fresh catches of the day 🐟🦐
To me, it's simple.
If the Trump administration can't deliver on lowering costs, creating jobs, and improving people's quality of life, it's a failure.
