I had the pleasure of welcoming some Portland State University visitors to my office!
We discussed the importance of funding arts education and how they’re preparing students to enter the workforce.
Thanks for stopping by!

My heart breaks for the families and loved ones of the young campers, the Camp Mystic staff, and all others that have been lost to the flash floods in Texas.
I will be keeping all of them, as well as the brave first responders working to bring people home, in my prayers.

Using taxpayer dollars to build a detention center in one of the most dangerous environments in the U.S.? No thanks.
“Alligator Alcatraz” is ALREADY flooding – it must go.
That’s why I’m demanding ICE and DHS stop construction.

Happy Independence Day, CD5!
To me, protecting independence means protecting access to care, to education, to choice.
We are a nation that prides ourselves on freedom and liberty – we must do everything we can to uphold these values.
My statement on the passage of the trash budget ⬇️
House Republicans just betrayed the American people, all to pay for tax cuts for rich.
How anyone can claim to be doing what’s best for their constituents while voting for this budget is beyond me.
I voted no.
It’s official. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social just broke the record for longest House Floor speech.
And he did it with the help of all of you who shared your stories. Thank you for being in this fight with us.
We’re not backing down.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has been speaking on behalf of the American people for over 8 hours, and he's not slowing down.
We've got to keep the pressure on – if you or someone you know will be impacted by the Republican budget, please share your story ⬇️

In Central Oregon, ONE in THREE people use Medicaid to receive care.
The trash budget makes healthcare more expensive and less accessible, but Republicans don't care. They're focused on the top 1%.
"What's happening in this country, an all-out assault on law-abiding immigrant families, is unconscionable, unacceptable, and un-American," – @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
👏👏👏
The Republicans are picking winners and losers with this budget, rewarding billionaires while leaving those in need behind.
Republicans won’t share the stories of their constituents who will be harmed by their “Big, Beautiful Bill,” so Leader Jeffries is doing it for them.
I’ve been on the Floor watching and listening since he started at 4:53AM. He’s still going.

I’ve been here all night fighting back against the trash budget that will hurt millions of Americans.
Quick update from the Capitol tonight.
Last night, I introduced several amendments to try to make the trash bill better.
I tried to stop the cuts to rural hospitals, Planned Parenthood, and SNAP, but Republicans said no.
So I’ll be voting no on the budget – it’s bad for my constituents and bad for America.
While Republicans are busy fighting amongst themselves about how to tear healthcare away from millions of Americans, Democrats stand united against this trash budget.
I went to the House Floor with the Congressional Black Caucus to demand that protections for Medicaid and SNAP be included in the budget.
Every time we asked, Republicans said no. Over, and over, and over again.
They’re cutting key programs we rely on – that’s unacceptable.
Constituents from all across my district wrote in about the ways the “Big, Beautiful Bill” will be harmful to them and their families.
Here are some of their stories.
