I'm devastated by the news of the mass shooting at Brown University. Our kids shouldn’t have to live in fear of violence while at school.
My prayers are with the victims, their families, and everyone impacted.

Oregon has one of the highest rates of youth and teen homelessness in the country, but too many of these children can’t get the support they need.
This week, I introduced the Homeless Children and Youth Act to fix the system and make sure all our kids can access a pathway out of homelessness.

Today, I introduced the Wildfire Aerial Response Safety Act to make sure that next wildfire season, fire crews aren’t faced with obstacles when completing their life-saving work.

I’ve been sounding the alarm about the millions of Americans that will see healthcare costs rise if Republicans don’t take action & hold a vote, but still, nothing!
Oregonians shouldn’t have to choose between their prescriptions and putting food on the table.

I called on Speaker Johnson to put a vote on funding for our rural schools on the Floor for a vote – last night, it happened, and it passed!
