Addressing maternal mortality should be a no brainer for Democrats & Republicans. I’m glad @senlisareynolds.bsky.social is leading a Momnibus package in Oregon and I’ll be fighting right alongside her on the federal level. Let’s end maternal mortality. www.oregonlive.com/health/2025/...
Thank you, Clackamas and Linn Counties for showing up and speaking out at our town halls! I’m glad you’re paying attention and engaged, and that you have ideas to bring to the table – I’m all ears. Keep the calls coming. I look forward to seeing more of you at the next one.
“If there ever were a beacon of hope in this country, it is Oregon’s Fifth Congressional District.” That was on full display yesterday. Thank you Linn-Benton CC & Albany Mayor Alex Johnson, Clackamas CC & Oregon City Mayor Denyse McGriff, & Sen. Wyden for two great town halls. tinyurl.com/bpabpjkj
There’s A LOT going on these days, so let’s talk about it. The more I hear from you, the better job I can do fighting for you. I hope you’ll join me this weekend ⬇️
I'm excited to announce I'm holding two town halls on Sunday, March 16th! I love hearing from Oregonians – that's why my office aims to answer every call, respond to every message, & fill my calendar with constituent meetings. I look forward to hearing more in Linn and Clackamas counties next week!
Senator Schumer should be out here fighting alongside House Democrats, snatching wigs and doing anything he can to stand up for Americans. I show up for my people. It's what I came here to do.
As a mom who has fought to make sure kids with special needs, like mine, get the education they deserve, I know how Trump’s decision to ditch the Dept. of Ed. will harm families advocating at the state level. It’s effed-up. My take ⬇️ www.bendbulletin.com/opinion/gues...
Miss Ma’am—- as EdSec, knowing the definition of IDEA is basic. I’m wrestling with how to tell you that parents need you to know and enforce federal law for our kids experiencing disabilities. Get in the ring for us!!
I was excited to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the League of Oregon Cities with some great leaders during their trip to the Capitol. Thanks for working with me to make life better for Oregonians – come back any time!
Cutting funding for clean water projects? Refusing to work with Democrats? I’m not putting up with it. I'm staying in DC ready to work on a funding bill that actually helps Oregonians.
My communities are asking me to give DC hell! So I’m still here. Waiting for Republicans to come to the table, ready to negotiate a clean bill minus the shenanigans, foolishness, and cuts to critical services. Buckle up. I’m here for the ride, because I never left.
Working on the playlist for our town halls this Sunday – drop your song requests in the comments 🎶⬇️

Did an #AskMeAnything this morning over on IG stories. Be sure to follow me @RepBynum there too, but here are my answers to some of the questions I got! 🧵1/4
