You can work hard your whole life, save your money, pay for insurance every month – and still have one diagnosis wipe out everything you built. I refuse to accept this as normal. Getting sick shouldn’t cost you the life you worked so hard to build. That’s why I’m cosponsoring Medicare for All.

POV: it’s 3 weeks from now, the App Challenge portal just closed, you never submitted, and our staffer is somewhere staring at the ceiling. Hope you’re happy 🫵

Let’s call it like we see it: Young people cannot afford to live in Donald Trump’s America.

Billionaires don’t need another bestie in Congress. Your voice and your vote belong to YOU, not the highest bidder.

Who am I to tell people how to spend their money or when? I just want it to be fair and transparent.

No one should ever have to face their hardest moment alone. So I fought hard to bring back nationwide crisis support for LGBTQ+ youth that the Trump administration cut. Having someone at the other end of the line matters.

When you call 911, you shouldn’t have to wonder if there are enough firefighters to answer. I’m proud to have helped secure more than $1 million for Scio Rural Fire to put more firefighters on the job and make sure help is there when our neighbors need it most.

I love a book that makes me think twice, ask more questions, or see something differently – that’s the whole point of reading.

I don’t need someone else deciding which ideas I’m allowed to read. Neither do you. 📚 #BannedBooksWeek

Shoutout to ChatGPT for sending Laura our way. 😂 So glad my team could help get her tax returns sorted. Having problems with a federal agency? You know who to call!

The best part of Oregon? The people!

This #HispanicHeritageMonth, I’m celebrating the generations of Hispanic families who have helped shape our communities and friends like the Latino Community Association who keep building on that legacy.

College should open up your world. It should never make you afraid to live in it.

A teacher can be the difference between a kid thinking “I can’t do that” and “why not me?”

Never underestimate that. #WorldTeachersDay

Oregon’s next generation of scientists, innovators, and leaders shouldn’t have to look far from home to do groundbreaking research and create lifesaving treatments for people like my best friend’s mom. [2/2]

I was one of those kids who got an early look at where science could take me. That’s why having Genentech grow right here in Hillsboro matters. [1/2]

Join Dr. Nathalie Johnson, survivors and advocates today in Portland for a free conversation on improving breast cancer care for Black women. [2/2] 📍 Legacy Emanuel Medical Center, Lorenzen Conference Center 🕙 10 AM - 12 PM PT

Black women are more likely to die from breast cancer. Closing that gap can’t wait. [1/2]

People need help after an emergency, and the faster that help comes, the better shot they have of rebuilding what was lost.

Gas is expensive. Food is expensive. Buying a house is expensive. Everything is expensive. And yet, the president and my Republican colleagues worry about literally anything else.
