I was recently part of a legislative panel at the State of Reform Health Policy Conference in Portland, along with Rep. Diehl & Sen. Patterson.
We discussed healthcare challenges in Oregon related to the impact of Trump’s (not so) Big Beautiful Bill.

Proud to join my colleagues and Gov. Kotek for the ceremonial signing of SB 426 at the Carpenters Union Hall. I signed on as a sponsor of this bill because wage theft needs to end!
There is power in collective bargaining!

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi at a couple of different political events over the years. The opportunities I’ve had to bend her ear are political highlights for me.
I hope she enjoys the last year of her term as she enters a well deserved retirement.

Proud to be named a Public Health Champ!
As a registered nurse, I know that we are all healthier when we are all healthy. Public health workers do amazing work on the ground, often in places most people won’t go. I celebrate them & all of their unseen but impactful work!

Small town grocery stores operate on extremely tight budgets. They depend on SNAP (food stamps) to keep their doors open. When rural grocery stores close, EVERYONE in the community loses access to food. Not just the Bi-POC, poor and undocumented folks.

Happy to be on hand for the grand opening of the Center for Addictions Triage and Treatment (CATT) in Washington County.
Centers like this are what we need to ensure that people battling addiction get the support they need to have a successful recovery.

Me and my mom outside of the White House East Wing in 2022. What a happy day this was…. It’s gone now.
What Trump is doing to the people’s house is heartbreaking. He promised the building wouldn’t be touched, so people had no opportunity to see it intact one last time. It’s all incredibly sad.

The construction needs to stop.
Donald Trump’s $250 million dollar ballroom is going to dwarf the White House. At 90,000 square feet, the new ballroom will overshadow the historic 55,000 Sq. ft White House.
