Mayors are our best ambassadors, and this weekend they made it look easy. But I know it’s not. Oregon’s mayors are in the middle of it all, from your housing options to your sidewalks to your traffic lights. To the mayors I had the chance to spend time with this weekend, you’ve got a friend in me.

Our veterans sacrificed so much to defend us and our freedoms – the least we can do is protect the benefits they earned and deserve. I am proud to introduce the bipartisan SAFEGUARD Veterans Act today with @repchrispappas.bsky.social to crack down on claim sharks preying on our veterans.

If you think being a kid right now is easy, you’re not paying attention. That’s why I introduced the Connecting Students with Mental Health Services Act. We have to make asking for help and getting help normal for our young people.

And of course, I had to check out the iconic giant Superstar shoes! The shoes are 15 feet long and are part of the “Left Right Project.” Artists from the East and West Coasts each painted one of the shoes, and they have been installed at Adidas Village in Portland. [2/2]

Rep. Janelle Bynum@bynum.house.govMay 28(source)

When you see housing, schools, and hospitals look closer. Our places and spaces don’t run without sheet metal helping stand them up and keep them cool. [1/2]
