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 🎶⬇️
Cafeteria vibes
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
$12 million to create more jobs.
$8.5 million to make our communities safer.
$2 million to make sure we have safe water to drink.
That's what Republicans took away from Oregon today. I voted no.
My statement on today’s vote ⬇️
Great to see Treasurer Steiner and team in the Capitol today.
Somehow DC thinks it’s ok to raise the prices of building a new library, or bridge, or clean water pipe. We say…not on our watch!
Washington, I’ve got my eyes on you 👀
Give me a break.
Molalla is on my flight back to to DC w me!!! See you at the town halls this weekend!
Meeting with our mayors! Thank you to the mayors who joined me this weekend for a great discussion on the challenges facing our communities.
Fun time with the littles last night at the Trail Blazers game!
Happy #InternationalWomensDay!
Today and every day, I’m fighting for a world where my daughters have the same rights that I did growing up.
I’ll stop at nothing to make that happen.
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!
Quick recap of the week from the airport - see you soon, CD5!
Rent is too damn high.
You sent me to Washington to lower costs, and that’s what I’m fighting to do on @ushousefsc.bsky.social.
Glad some of our county commissioners could stop by our office during their trip to DC!
I look forward to continuing to work together for all Oregonians.
THIRTY-FIVE dollars for an overdraft fee? That's almost FIVE hours of work on a minimum wage salary.
Give me a break.
I'm not going to let big banks take advantage of families just trying to get by.
