Yesterday, the petition to force a vote on extending ACA subsidies got the signatures it needed.
Put it on the Floor, Speaker Johnson – what are you afraid of?
I'm grateful to the six members of the Clackamas Fire District rescue team who have been out in Washington this week helping our neighbor state with life-saving operations.
My prayers are with the communities impacted by these devastating floods.

We're one step closer to getting this across the finish line – it just passed committee!
My bill is bipartisan, increases housing supply, and lowers costs – should be a no brainer for Speaker Johnson to put on the Floor for a vote.
This week, @ushousefsc.bsky.social is marking up my Accelerating Home Building Act, which means it’s one step closer to getting a vote on the House Floor.
It's about time Republicans came to their senses. Americans need lower healthcare costs now. I'll be voting yes.
Join me at 6:00PM PT this Thursday for our last telephone town hall of the year! I’ll be answering your questions about the work we’ve done this year and the work we plan to do in 2026!

I’m so glad that Martin reached out to my office when he had issues getting in touch with the Social Security Administration – that’s what we’re here for!
If you or someone you know needs assistance with a federal agency, you can call us at (503)387-8651, or visit my website at bynum.house.gov.
Oregon has some of the best produce you can get!
I headed over to the Oregon City Farmers Market to pick up some groceries for the week and learn about their Double Up SNAP program.
Some good news today! $126,000 is coming to CD5 for AmeriCorps senior volunteer programs!
Whether it's helping kids with special needs with their schoolwork or supporting older adults who need assistance, these volunteers make our community whole.
Every year, scouts from Troop 127 sell Christmas trees to raise money to help them go to summer camp – they’ve been doing it for over 75 years!
I spoke with troop leader John about how the scout program sets up kids to be future leaders.
As we ring in this holiday, we are also mourning the tragic loss of life in Australia.
My prayers are with the Jewish community in our state and around the world. Everyone deserves to celebrate their faith in safety and peace, and without fear of violence.
Happy first night of Hanukkah to all those celebrating in #CD5! I hope the next eight nights are filled with light, peace, and time with loved ones.
President Trump’s tariffs have raised Americans' costs by nearly $1,200 this year.
Prices are higher than ever and paychecks aren’t keeping up. Oregonians can’t afford these chaotic economic policies.

I'm devastated by the news of the mass shooting at Brown University. Our kids shouldn’t have to live in fear of violence while at school.
My prayers are with the victims, their families, and everyone impacted.
With a proposal as impactful as the Detroit Lake drawdown, it's critical the community has a chance to speak up – that's why I requested the Army Corps give people more time to submit comments.
They received our letter, and set the new deadline for January 13th!
Oregon has one of the highest rates of youth and teen homelessness in the country, but too many of these children can’t get the support they need.
This week, I introduced the Homeless Children and Youth Act to fix the system and make sure all our kids can access a pathway out of homelessness.
This year, a drone delayed firefighters’ aerial response to the Flat Fire, putting our communities at unnecessary risk.
Today, I introduced the Wildfire Aerial Response Safety Act to make sure that next wildfire season, fire crews aren’t faced with obstacles when completing their life-saving work.
Are we stuck on stupid?
