Every chance they have, Republicans are taking action to make healthcare less affordable, and I’ve had enough.
Healthcare is expensive enough as it is – Oregonians don’t need DC politicians raising their costs even more.

I voted 'Present' on Republicans' House Resolution supposedly condemning Socialism. I've had enough of the nonsense.
My full statement ⬇️
As a member of @ushousefsc.bsky.social, lowering the cost of housing is a top priority for me.
My new bill, the Appraisal Industry Improvement Act, will expand access to training programs for home appraisers and bring down the cost of homeownership for Oregonians.

We’ve had an incredible class of interns with us this fall in DC. They’ve led legislative research, supported constituents on the phone, and kept our office running!
Republicans are playing games with programs Americans rely on, and it's taking a toll. I’m proud of how Oregon has protected access to SNAP for those who use it to put food on the table.
This is about feeding our families, children, & seniors – the games need to stop.

Across the country, we’re seeing a shortage of trained workers in housing markets – especially in rural communities – that’s driving up costs for homebuyers.
I’m introducing a bipartisan bill, the Appraisal Industry Improvement Act, to address this shortage and make it easier to buy a home.
The Public Lands Rule provides us with modern, science-based tools to protect, restore, and preserve our environment.
The Trump administration is trying to get rid of it.
I’m joining my colleagues to demand the rule stay in place.
The President promised to lower costs on “day one,” yet a new report revealed that Oregonians have spent nearly $900 more this year compared to last year.
Make it make sense…
I just voted to release the Epstein files.
The American people deserve transparency, and the survivors deserve justice.
Paychecks aren't keeping up with prices.
I'll continue to fight in Congress to lower costs and make life easier for Oregonians. We can't afford Trump's chaotic economic policies.

One of my favorite parts of being your representative is meeting people from all across CD5. Come in and visit us, and leave a pin on our map!
Last week, a petition to release the Epstein files received the number of signatures required to force a vote on the House Floor – that vote is on the docket this week.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant – they need to release the files.
Heading back to DC this morning for a full week of votes – a quick update on what’s coming up ⬇️
Tax credits in the #AffordableCareAct help tens of thousands of Oregonians afford healthcare, including my constituent David.
If we don’t extend them by the end of the year, David will see his costs go up hundreds of dollars. I won’t leave Oregonians behind – the fight is far from over.
Always a blast cheering on Lewis and Clark football 🏈🧡 Thanks for the invite, President Holmes-Sullivan!
In a study of housing affordability and accessibility, Oregon received an “F” grade – that’s unacceptable.
My bipartisan bill, the Accelerating Home Building Act, will speed up the approval process for housing plans, lowering costs for buyers and renters.
Portland State’s Veterans Resource Center supports veterans and military-affiliated students.
I had the pleasure of meeting with some of them to learn more about the services the center offers, and how best I can support our student veterans in Congress.
The Trump administration is rolling back protections against PFAS and other ‘forever chemicals’ that contaminate our drinking water.
I’m joining my colleagues to demand the @EPA reverse this decision & put protections back in place to make sure everyone has access to safe and clean drinking water.
If Republicans wanted to take action to protect healthcare, they would have.
