Last week, AG Dan Rayfield sued the Trump admin over tariffs impacting our state. This Saturday, I’ll be joining him at the OSU Cascades Campus for a town hall. Join us for a conversation about our work to lower costs and stand up for Oregonians.
On my flight to DC this morning, I met Larry, a veteran from Canby, who is heading to Washington for his first honor flight. Thank you for your service, Larry, and thanks for saying hi!
I welcomed the Civil Air Patrol to my district office last week, including some up-and-coming young cadets 🫡 I heard all about their drills, emergency service trainings, and of course, the flying program! CAP is growing incredible leaders who can truly rise to any challenge.
As we head back to DC for votes next week, my constituent, Teri, hopes we can work across the aisle to get things done. I’ll work with anyone – Democrat, Republican, Independent – to make life better for Oregonians.
It was great to sit down with Oregon REALTORS to discuss housing affordability and how we can work together to give everyone a fair shot at homeownership. On @ushousefsc.bsky.social, I’m focused on making housing more affordable, insurance more reliable, and mortgage lending fairer.
A cup of coffee & conversations with Oregonians at Silverton Coffee Station – what could be better? ☕ Thanks to all who came out in Silverton! I’m looking forward to more Brews with Bynum stops across the district!
Donald Trump is shutting down programs that help our kids succeed – and he doesn’t have the power to do it. I signed onto an amicus brief to not only protect the Department of Education, but to also protect our democracy.
Caldera High School's vocal jazz group, "Inversion," beat out 20 schools last week to take home 1ST PLACE at one of the largest and oldest jazz festivals in the world🥇🎶 Congratulations on this huge accomplishment! You make #OR05 proud! www.centraloregondaily.com/news/local/c...
Pacific Seafood, which produces 2 MILLION pounds of fish and other proteins every month, is headquartered right here in Oregon’s 5th! Huge thank you to the staff for showing me around and showing off all the fresh catches of the day 🐟🦐
Quick stop at Mt. Angel Sausage Co. for lunch! I always enjoy the opportunity to try local restaurants, and this spot did not disappoint – the Hoke family gave an incredible behind the scenes tour, and the food was even better! Let me know some spots I should try next ⬇️
Today is Earth Day! I’ll be spending some time outside today enjoying the sunshine, and I hope you do, too! ☀️🌎 We are so fortunate to live in such a beautiful state – let’s make sure we keep our water, air, and outside spaces clean for generations to come.
My top priority is lowering costs. That’s why I’m working to get to the bottom of how Trump’s tariffs are going to impact the prices we’re paying. My Protecting Families From Inflation Act does just that.
Did you know that wildfires can threaten our access to clean drinking water? Here’s Fire Chief Todd Gary with more on why it’s critical that we do everything we can to stop wildfires from starting and contain them when they do.
I sat down with Marion County constituents who’ve been locked out of their healthcare because of the fight between Salem Health & Regence. The stories they shared about the failure of our systems were flat-out unacceptable. I won't stop pushing for answers & accountability.
Happy Easter to everyone celebrating in #OR05! Wishing you a blessed and joyful day full of peace, quality time with the people you love, and hopefully some good food!
NeighborImpact provides food to 70,000+ Oregonians per month, but thanks to the Trump admin's funding freeze, they've had to cancel orders of dairy, eggs, & meat through July. I've demanded the USDA reverse the freeze so we can get back to helping people put food on the table.
Trump fired 1,500 employees at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau – that's nearly 90% of their workforce. This move leaves the fox to guard the hen house, & gives bad guys a leg up. We need to be investing in growing the economy, not turning it into the wild, wild west. tinyurl.com/trpdsxbc
