These problems must be our priority. Now that we’ve heard the so-called State of the Union, it’s time to get to work.
- Having to choose between groceries and a doctor's visit due to rising costs
- Disappearing jobs, unions and opportunities
- Underfunded schools
- Keeping our lands public. Not selling to the highest bidder
- Kristi Noem's DHS killing citizens without any oversight and accountability
Despite the longest State of the Union on record, the President didn't speak to the concerns of Americans and Oregonians:
These “tax cuts” are corporate socialism. The victim? You.
More than 50% of Oregonians would need to pay for new documents just to exercise their right to vote.
The SAVE Act punishes millions of American citizens and strips them of their right to vote.
Claim: “The SAVE Act will prevent non-citizens from voting.”
Reality: Elections in Oregon are already secure. The SAVE Act would require more than 900,000 married women in Oregon alone who changed their last names to re-register to vote.
Trade wars & tariffs have severely damaged American farmers and caused financial hardship. More than 15,000 farms closed in 2025 alone.
Claim: “Farmers, cattle producers, etc. have record profits”
Reality: False. Cattle ranchers are reporting record losses. Argentinian beef imports have not brought prices down either. The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association have expressed that the Admin’s policies are hurting ranchers.
Claim: “Prices on beef are way down…”
Reality: Prices on almost all groceries are up. Beef has increased an avg. of 22% since the beginning of 2025.
Claim: “Republicans made the largest tax cuts in history.”
Reality: ❌ Republicans gave corporations a $5 trillion dollar tax cut. They paid for it by gutting your Medicaid. Making healthcare more expensive across the board. Cutting funding to your children’s schools.
Claim: “Inflation is down”
Reality: You’re not crazy. Your dollar isn’t stretching as far. Groceries, energy, housing, healthcare: prices are up ⬆️. Americans are paying almost $1600 more for just the basics.
The kicker? The Administration’s illegal tariffs are partly to blame.
Claim: “We have 4 million less people on food stamps.”
Reality:❌This Administration made the largest cuts to SNAP (food assistance) in the country. 13.7% of Americans are struggling with food insecurity as of 2026. The highest rate since 2014.
Claim: “Our nation is richer than ever before.”
Reality: Wealth inequality is at its highest in history. America is at its most unequal in its history.
I will NOT be at the State of the Union tonight. I am not here to play politics. I am here to work for the people in my district.
I’ll be fact checking claims made at the State of the Union here and on my other pages.

The ROTOR Act just died on the House floor.
I don’t want to look in the eyes of another family member who lost a child or parent or spouse. I’m really disappointed and looking at next steps of how we can get the right legislation passed.

New data collected by BLS shows that now more than ever workers want the security of a union contract. The Economic Policy Institute breaks it down for us. Read the report here: http://usw.to/5km
