Magdalyn, I'm so glad my office was able to help you get your Social Security issue resolved. If you or someone you know in #OR05 needs assistance with a federal agency, give us a call! (503) 387–8651.
Sarah and Molly, young entrepreneurs from West Albany High School, are tackling the affordable housing crisis head on with their app, Nest Mate 🏘️! Congratulations on winning the Congressional App Challenge – you make me proud!
The SAVE Act makes it harder for eligible voters to vote by requiring documents like a passport. My amendment was simple: make the passport process faster! But House Republicans refused to consider it. I won’t disenfranchise voters, so I voted no.
Today the House is voting on a bill to increase overdraft fees to $35. Costs are high enough already – how out of touch can you be? I voted against it in committee, and I'm voting against it again today.
It was a beautiful weekend at Cline Falls State Park ☀️ The Deschutes River Basin is essential to the health, economy, and environment in Central Oregon – that’s why last week, I introduced the Deschutes River Conservancy Reauthorization Act to unlock funding to preserve and restore our rivers.
Alisa presented a painting done by an eight-year-old girl in Ukraine. The painting shows a girl smiling, surrounded by the souls of all of her dead friends. It is a reminder not just of the children losing their lives, but that even in the sadness, we can still smile.
Today, I was joined by Ukrainian women from #OR05 who fled their homes following Russia’s first invasion. We must stand tall with them and for them to protect and defend Ukraine, its children, its families, and its democracy.
After votes last night, I passed some words of wisdom on the walls of the Capitol that speak volumes right now. The power of the people is stronger than the people in power.
What a great first stop on the Brews With Bynum tour! Thank you to WorthyBrewing for hosting us, and thank you to all of you that came out to share what’s on your mind. Where should we go next? Leave a comment below ⬇️
After hearing about how devastating the funding freeze has been for their site and the Central Oregon Community, I led a letter to the Sec. of Agriculture demanding she reverse it. It's un-American and unacceptable to leave our families out to dry. 🧵2/2
This weekend, I stopped by NeighborImpact’s new food bank in Redmond to meet the staff that keep the whole operation running. They told me that due to recent cuts made by the Trump administration, they’ve had to tell partners to expect up to a 20% decrease in food aid supply. 🧵1/2
Deschutes County, you brought the energy! Thank you for taking action and showing up – this is how we make change happen. Shoutout Sisters High School for hosting, and thank you Senator Broadman for emceeing!
FYI: Trump is out golfing today after giving us some voodoo Greek math equation while Americans are looking at their tanking retirement accounts wondering whose bird-brained idea massive tariffs were. Johnson should call us back to DC so Congress can overturn this foolishness.
Great to sit down with @olcv.bsky.social this week for a discussion on water management, mitigating wildfire risk, and our shared commitment to improving environmental health. We’ve all got to work together to protect the natural environment in #OR05 that we call home.
Thank you to everyone who RSVP’d to join me at Brews with Bynum this weekend 🍻☕️ I’m excited to meet you all. We have reached capacity for tomorrow, but don’t worry – we'll be doing many more! You can also come see me at my town hall tomorrow at Sisters High School at 1PM!
I'm excited to announce Brews with Bynum 🍻☕️ I’ll be visiting coffee shops & breweries around #OR05, and inviting you to come share a drink with me & tell me what’s on your mind – 1st stop in Bend this Saturday from 3:30 – 4:30! RSVP for location ⬇️ 🔗: www.eventbrite.com/e/1306937357...
