I’m ready to get to work to re-open the government, but Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the Presidency – it’s on them to come to the table.
Today, I paid a visit to Camp Withycombe in my district, where the President has sent the National Guard as part of his attempted takeover of our city.
My message is clear: send the troops home.
The President is using our National Guard as toy soldiers against Oregonians exercising their First Amendment rights.
We won't accept that.
SNAP helps 1 in 6 Oregonians put food on the table. If a deal to reopen the government isn’t made soon, they will stop receiving these benefits.
This is absolutely unacceptable, and completely avoidable. Republicans need to get to work.

I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work for Oregonians.
It’s on Speaker Johnson to end the Republicans’ vacation and work with us to re-open the government.
President Trump is continuing to spread the lie that Portland is dangerous. The truth? It’s HIS agents that are escalating tensions.
This ruling gives the President a green light to continue his attempted takeover of Portland.
Over the last few weeks, our city has made one thing clear: we don't need this, and we don't want this.
We won't let him continue to lie and we won't back down.

I’ve hosted 20 town halls, and everywhere I go, my constituents tell me they’re worried about their healthcare.
We need a budget that reverses the healthcare cuts and puts the American people first.
Votes were originally scheduled for us this week, but Speaker Johnson pulled them down AGAIN.
I’m ready to come to the table to get to work on a deal that centers the American people and lowers costs for my constituents.
It’s time to move forward – Oregonians can’t afford this shutdown.
🚨 DEADLINE EXTENDED 🚨

The Individuals with Disabilities Act is already severely underfunded.
That's why I introduced the IDEA Full Funding Act to make sure our kids with disabilities are
receiving the support they need in the classroom.
The decision to fire the Department of Education staff who oversee special education is completely unacceptable.
As the mother of a child with a disability, this is personal – we can't leave our kids behind.

This is not a good use of taxpayer money.
Healthcare costs are skyrocketing, service members are working without pay, and Americans are struggling to make ends meet.
It's time this administration put Americans first.

Following reports that federal agents deployed to Portland by President Trump have been using excessive force against my constituents, I’m demanding answers from Secretary Noem.
These raids undermine the principles our country was founded on. Enough is enough.
Yesterday, I went to check out the scene outside the ICE facility in “war-ravaged” Portland.
All I saw were Oregonians using their voices in peaceful protest.
Republicans are unwilling to come to the table to re-open the government, and as a result, over 20,000 people in CD5 could see their health insurance costs go up.
Yet, Speaker Johnson said he has “no strategy” going forward – Americans deserve better.
Proud to stand with @ofnhp.bluesky.social and Oregon healthcare workers today in their fight for fair pay.
They care for us, so we have to care for them.
