The cost of housing can make or break a family’s budget. Affordable housing programs, such as the Housing Choice Voucher Program, are essential safety nets when the housing market can’t meet the needs of the community. 🧵

TRIO is a group of federal outreach programs designed to motivate and support students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Education access means economic mobility. 🧵

October is Head Start Awareness Month. Thank you to the countless educators and administrators across Oregon and the country who work tirelessly to support early learners and their families. 🧵

Congratulations to the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission on the opening of the Coastal Margin Observation and Prediction (CMOP) office in Astoria!

It will soon be 2027 and the grand opening of the James Beard Public Market in downtown Portland! I got a sneak peek at the progress and can’t wait to be back for the ribbon cutting.

Thank you to the Oregon State Fire Marshal, Oregon National Guard, Clackamas Fire, United States Coast Guard, FEMA, and other emergency preparedness experts for showing us how they are preparing to protect us when there is a disaster.

I spoke with students, parents, educators, and advocates about creating a brighter future for children and strengthening our country's public education system.

My Transforming Education for the Future Act will provide a well-rounded education for students, support teaching and learning, and address socioeconomic barriers to success and growth.

I spoke with local elected officials, business owners, and community organizations affected by delayed mail delivery in Astoria, and I visited the post office to try to get some answers. 🧵

It’s a difficult time for Oregonian children, families, educators, and community members. Here are a few local and national resources on mental health and surviving gun violence. 🧵

REMINDER: My last fall town hall meeting in Astoria is tomorrow. More details below.

Astoria Town Hall Meeting TOMORROW, October 17th @ 1pm Liberty Theatre 1203 Commercial St, Astoria

As a parent and policymaker, my heart is breaking for the students, families, teachers, and staff at Silver Rail Elementary School and the entire Bend community. No parent should have to wonder if their child will come home at the end of the day. 🧵

Great news for Oregon! We cut the ribbon for the PSU Jordan Schnitzer School of Art + Art History + Design, where students will learn, creativity will thrive, and artists will connect with the community. And it’s made with mass timber!

Everyone deserves accessible health care, and cuts from HR1 (Republicans’ Big Ugly budget Bill) are endangering Oregonians’ health care access and funding to places like CAP NW.

A public execution by firing squad is bad enough, but live streaming it would demean us as a nation. There is no doubt that the man in question committed a heinous crime, but this kind of spectacle goes against our values.

It was an honor to celebrate two former colleagues whose work on transportation shaped our state and nation. Reps. Blumenauer and DeFazio spent decades fighting for policies and resources to support multimodal transportation—including bike infrastructure—and Oregon is a better place because of them.

Donald Trump and his corrupt administration are abusing power and weaponizing the Department of Justice against Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.

We've seen an alarming increase in detentions and ICE activity across Oregon. I conducted a congressional oversight visit at the ICE Processing Facility in Portland with my colleagues @repdexteror.bsky.social and @merkley.senate.gov.

This ICE surge is not making our communities safer. Their tactics are designed to intimidate and cause fear, and that’s exactly what's happening.
