Republicans’ budget doesn’t just strip millions Americans of access to healthcare, it’s threatening jobs and raising costs.
In Oregon, 8,300 manufacturing and energy jobs are at risk, and families across CD5 could see their electricity bills rise by over $400.

While facilities like Mompano Solar are working to keep energy bills low for Oregonians, the Trump administration is pulling funding for clean and affordable electricity.
I joined @actonclimateus.bsky.social to demand funding be restored – our families can't afford these cuts.
Headed to DC this past weekend to check in on the situation on the ground. My thoughts ⬇️
From threatening Medicaid for people with disabilities, to making it hard for families to put food on the table, to limiting access to education, the trash budget is hurting Oregonians.
Here are some stories I’ve received from constituents across CD5. They deserve better.
Molalla, tonight is the night! Join me at Molalla High School at 6:00PM for an in-person town hall.
Doors open at 5:30PM – bring your questions and bring the energy 💪 Let’s give ‘em hell!
Local coffee roasters in Portland are having to pay higher costs because of Trump’s tariffs, and are expecting even more price hikes in the future.
Our economy can’t handle any more of these chaotic policies – he needs to get it under control.

🚨 Evacuation orders have have been issued for parts of Deschutes County due to the ongoing Flat Fire. 🚨
I’m praying for the safety of all Oregonians.
Check with your local public safety officials for updates and you can find more info on the fire here:

That's why I introduced my Microplastics Safety Act – to require the FDA to conduct research so we can get the information we need to protect our health.
We can't wait and see what happens – we need more information, and we need it now. 🧵 2/2
The amount of microplastics found in human brains grew 50% between 2016 and 2024, but we still don't have a full understanding of what that means for our wellbeing. 🧵 1/2

The Republican budget is threatening $15 billion in federal funding for health and food programs in Oregon.
Over 60,000 people in CD5 are now at risk of losing access to SNAP, all so President Trump could help out his billionaire friends. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – trash.
While President Trump and Republicans work overtime to make school less accessible, I’m fighting to make sure every kid gets a fair shot.
That’s why I introduced my IDEA Full Funding Act – to provide our students with disabilities with the quality education they deserve.
Molalla, it’s time to give ‘em hell!
Join me for an in-person town hall at Molalla High School on Monday, August 25th at 6:00PM PT.
I hope to see you there!
Instead of offering support to communities rebuilding from last year's wildfire season, the USDA has put $90 million in federal funding for wildfire mitigation on hold.
This is a step in the wrong direction – our communities deserve support, not broken promises.

Cuts to the Pell grant program in President Trump and Republicans’ trash budget threaten funding for over 42,000 students in Oregon, including nearly 15,000 in CD5.
We need to be making education more affordable and accessible for our kids, not less.
President Trump and Republicans' cuts to Medicaid leave 10 million Americans at risk of losing access to healthcare. It’s unacceptable.
I won't stop fighting to protect this essential program.

Calling all young coders – have you submitted your application for the Congressional App challenge yet? The deadline is October 30th, 2025 – don’t miss it!

President Trump's attacks on mail-in voting are all about him – voting should be about the people. All eligible voters deserve to be heard.
Getting rid of vote-by-mail would make it harder for Oregonians – and Americans – to use their voices, and that's exactly what he wants. I won't stand for it.
Costs for businesses are rising thanks to Trump's tariffs, and we need to get to the bottom of what this means for consumers.
I'm here to lower costs for Oregonians – that's why I introduced my Protecting Families from Inflation Act.

August is peak wildfire season here in Oregon, so I was grateful to meet with firefighters out in Redmond to discuss ways they are preparing and protecting our communities.
I’ll always fight to make sure our local fire departments have what they need to keep us safe at home.
