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

Mass Layoffs Hit Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (Gift Article)

The agency, which has returned $21 billion to consumers since its inception, could lose 1,500 of its 1,700 employees, a union warned.

I'll put my $$ on Oregon kids all day. They are worth the investment. They are our future. Congrats to Matthew and Colin, the first team of two to win the competition. Legendary 💪🥇 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/u...

Two-Student Team Stuns the Competition at U.S. Constitution Contest

Matthew Meyers and Colin Williams of Oregon won first place at the national U.S. Constitution Team competition. Then came the recount that threatened to unravel their achievement.

It's #BlackMaternalHealthWeek, and as a mom of two daughters I'm sounding the alarm. Black women are over 3x as likely to die from pregnancy-related complications. Three. Times. Healthcare is a human right. Standing up for mothers and daughters everywhere.

Rep. Janelle Bynum@bynum.house.govApr 17(source)

I'll be in Marion County this weekend to get firsthand accounts of the failure of health systems and insurers to meet the needs of the community.

“Regulators should ask more questions and look at what is happening in Marion County with Salem Health and Regence. Thousands of my constituents have been locked out of healthcare because the two giants can't come to an agreement. www.oregonlive.com/health/2025/...

Why a community advisory board thinks the state should block proposed OHSU-Legacy merger

A community review board unanimously recommended rejecting the deal.

I ran into Marissa, a constituent and nurse with CareOregon at the store. She is worried about cuts to Medicare & Medicaid, as her patients rely on these programs for care. I voted against cuts to the programs last week, and I'll keep fighting to protect them. #MedicaidMatters.

I was glad to meet with members of the Oregon Bankers Association to discuss my work on @ushousefsc.bsky.social to create jobs, and how we can work together to increase rural economic growth. As a freshman on the committee, I’m bringing new perspectives and ideas to get our economy back on track.

Rep. Janelle Bynum@bynum.house.govApr 15(source)

Trump is causing chaos and making life more expensive, and we were fired up about it in Sisters. Thank you to all of you who attended my town hall and shared your stories. As I've said before, if there ever were a beacon of hope in this country, it's Oregon’s 5th.

Rep. Janelle Bynum@bynum.house.govApr 15(source)

As promised, it’s time for another Brews With Bynum! I’ll be grabbing a quick sip in Silverton this Saturday from 1:00PM – 2:00PM PT – I hope you’ll come by to chat about what’s on your mind! RSVP here 🔗: www.eventbrite.com/e/brews-with...

Everywhere I go, I hear from constituents who depend on their Social Security payments. The 160,000 people in our district deserve to know that this EARNED benefit isn’t going anywhere. I’ll always fight to protect Social Security.

Rep. Janelle Bynum@bynum.house.govApr 14(source)

Shared a quick bite with the owners of Fresco and Fryed, a delicious family-owned food truck in Bend, and presented them with a Congressional certificate! Highly recommend the tacos 🤌🤌

Every kid deserves a quality education – full stop. That’s why I’m leading the IDEA Full Funding Act. We have to deliver for our kids with disabilities and ensure their access to a free and appropriate education.

Rep. Janelle Bynum@bynum.house.govApr 14(source)

Magdalyn, I'm so glad my office was able to help you get your Social Security issue resolved. If you or someone you know in #OR05 needs assistance with a federal agency, give us a call! (503) 387–8651.
