Last year, I introduced 16 bipartisan bills!
From increasing access to affordable housing, to protecting our health and environment, to supporting wildfire response efforts, I’ll work with anyone to make life better for Oregonians.
Today marks one year since I was sworn in as your Member of Congress. It’s been a busy year on Team Bynum, and I’m looking forward to another productive year in 2026.
Thank you for your constant advocacy, your thoughtful questions, and for trusting me as your representative.
What happened to America First?
Thank you, Victor, for reaching out to my office when you needed help reaching the IRS – that’s what we’re here for!
If you or someone you know needs help with a federal agency, give us a call at (503) 387-8651.
Happy New Year, CD5!
2025 was a doozy, but I’m optimistic about what’s to come in 2026. Wishing all of you and your loved ones nothing but the best in the new year.
It’s been a productive year on Team Bynum! Check out some of our top highlights ⬇️

Speaker Johnson refused to hold a vote to protect tax credits in the #AffordableCareAct before the holidays, which means tomorrow, they will expire.
I’ll continue fighting to do whatever I can to make sure Oregonians aren’t forced to decide between the care they need and putting food on the table.
This year, I’ve helped bring over $160 million in federal funding home to CD5 for projects across our district.
And it doesn’t stop there – I’m pushing for another $34 million for clean water, public safety, and affordable housing projects.
My floor speeches are my protest speeches.
From protecting access to healthcare to calling out Speaker Johnson’s nonsense, I’ve spent this year taking your stories to the House Floor and making sure your voices are heard.
I’m beyond proud that this year, my team was able to return over $800,000 to constituents through casework.
Whether it be help with the VA, issues with Social Security, or missed payments from the IRS, my office is here to help! Call us anytime at (503) 387-8651.
2025 was the year I became a meme…
I’ve enjoyed making our social content this year, and I hope you’ve enjoyed it too!
Merry Christmas from my family to yours! 🎄🎁

Americans have made it clear that they’re feeling the higher costs this holiday season, and I get it – I am too.
I’m calling on President Trump and Republicans in Congress to join me in getting to work on lowering costs. The American people can’t wait.

Our intern Alina came to our exit interview with some great questions to help me reflect on the last year – check out our conversation!

Speaker Johnson sent us home for the holidays without holding a vote to protect the ACA subsidies – unfortunately, I can’t say I’m surprised.
This means that in the new year, my constituents will see their costs rise by hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. It’s unacceptable.
With the unemployment rate the highest it’s been in years, it’s clear that we're moving in the wrong direction.
The President needs to focus on policies that center Americans, boost our economy, and create quality jobs.
We can’t continue down this path.

Thank you to all 8,700 of you who tuned into my telephone town hall last night. As always, thank you for bringing thoughtful questions and using your voices.
I’m so proud of the work we’ve done during my first year in office, and I’m excited about what’s to come!
We are expecting more heavy rain, potential flooding, and power outages heading into the weekend.
Please keep yourselves safe and take time to prepare – you can find more information on how to do so here: www.oregon.gov/oem/hazardsp...
