Our Oregon firefighters and first responders have been out fighting the Cram fire – the largest wildfire in the country so far this year – for weeks.
I am beyond grateful to them for their bravery and their commitment to keeping our communities safe.

But we fought back, and we won – funding has resumed. Now, our kids can get back to the classroom, and families can continue to receive the support they need.

Earlier this year, the Trump administration withheld $12 billion in federal funding for Head Start programs, including over $500,000 for Clackamas County Children’s Commission.
Without this funding, they would’ve lost 40 staff members, and have been forced to close ten classrooms.

Following funding cuts, @neighborimpact has seen a 27.3% decrease in food coming from @oregonfoodbank.
Thanks to Republicans' trash budget, demand is going to go up while supply continues to go down.

When I go to the grocery store to shop for my family, I am shocked by the prices I’m seeing. So trust me, I hear you: prices are too damn high!
That’s why I introduced the Protecting Families From Inflation Act – Speaker Johnson, it’s time to put up a vote to lower costs.
The data doesn’t lie. The Republicans’ trash budget puts healthcare at risk for millions of Americans.
In Oregon, 90,000 people are at risk of losing their access to SNAP.
That’s 90,000 people – veterans, children, seniors – who are just trying to make ends meet and put food on the table.
But Republicans sold them out to give tax cuts to the rich.
During National Parks and Recreation Month, it was great to meet with representatives from @cclusa.org to discuss how we can work together to keep our environment healthy.
Oregon is home to so many beautiful outdoor spaces – I’ll always fight to keep them that way for generations to come.
Speaker Johnson is shutting down the House and sending us home early to avoid releasing the Epstein files.
We need transparency. Quit wasting my time.
Excited to announce that @oregonsos.bsky.social Tobias Read will be joining my Molalla Town Hall on August 25th at 6PM.
We’ll be talking about elections and voting – mark your calendars! 📅
Modular and off-site construction can be a creative solution to the affordable housing crisis, but HUD doesn’t always permit it to happen.
I’m asking why ⬇️
Access to Medicaid and SNAP are a lifeline for thousands of Oregonians, but Republicans’ trash budget has left our communities preparing to have these programs ripped away.
All to line the pockets of billionaires. It’s unacceptable.

Over the weekend, the Cram fire in Central Oregon became the largest wildfire of the year so far in the US.
I am grateful to the firefighters and local authorities who bravely responded – we need to continue to make sure they have all the resources they need to protect our communities.
🚨 NEW TOWN HALL DATES 🚨
The Molalla town hall will now be on Monday, August 25 at 6:00PM, moved from 7/28.
And Silverton, I'll be heading your way on Saturday, August 30, at 10:30AM, instead of 8/2.
Stay tuned for more details, and get ready to give 'em hell!
"The Congressional Budget Office predicts that the package's costs will far outweigh its savings."
Thanks to President Trump and Republicans, 10 million people are in danger of losing their healthcare, AND our national debt is going to skyrocket.
What a COLOSSAL failure.
A study of 30 of Oregon’s most iconic waterways found microplastics in 100% of the samples, yet there hasn’t been a single investigation done by the FDA to see what microplastics do to our health – that needs to change.
My Microplastics Safety Act will get us the data we need to protect our health.
