DWho’s the teacher who changed your life? The one who believed in you, pushed you, or made you feel seen? This World Teachers’ Day, let’s thank the educators who work hard and shape our future. As your Congresswoman, I’m fighting to deliver the resources and support you need to succeed.
You are not alone 🫂 Mental Illness Awareness Week is a reminder that 1 in 5 American adults lives with a mental health condition. ☎️ If you are struggling, call or text 988 to get help. #MentalHealthMonday
What makes a community a place folks want to visit, shop, dine, invest in, and return to? I was honored to moderate the Tigard Chamber of Commerce State of Business event tackling that question. Together, we’re building a vibrant Main Street and a Tigard that’s a destination in its own right.
❌ Trump has only made life harder for hardworking Americans who are just trying to provide for their families ❌
“Speak your mind, even if your voice shakes.” The Portland Gray Panthers have lived founder Maggie Kuhn’s words for decades. Thanks for having me and for hearing what I’ve been working on in Congress! https://t.co/nCas2eq1NR
Hiking a new trail always brings a bit of joy! It was a pleasure to celebrate the grand opening of the Hillsdale to Lake Oswego Trail! It will offer our neighbors a fresh chance to explore the community and enjoy the great outdoors. I am proud to have been one of many who helped make its completion possible.

Working families deserve better than policies built for the ultra-wealthy. Help is on the way. @HouseDemocrats are committed to building an America you can actually afford.
Oregon elections are safe, secure, and accurate. We have successfully voted by mail for decades, and we’re not stopping now.
If you need help with your SNAP benefits, visit the Oregon Department of Human Services' website for resources and information. (2/2) 🔗 https://t.co/yBJBoYAcQb
I fought long and hard for the restoration of this vital lifeline, and I could not be happier to see it restored for members of our LGBTQ+ community!!
When an ICE agent kills somebody, they shouldn’t get to hide the evidence. My new bill guarantees state and local law enforcement full access to crime scenes — so victims and their families can get the information and justice they deserve. https://t.co/OSrhV0GxEB
Families are already struggling with rising costs. Today, Republicans made it worse. As of October 1st, the Big Ugly Bill's cuts to SNAP funding kicked in, leaving states with fewer resources to process applications and get folks their much-needed benefits. (1/2)
Oregon can lead the nation in biotech. We showed the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology what that looks like at Twist Bioscience and at PCC’s Rock Creek Campus. Making these technologies at home means a stronger economy and a safer country. https://t.co/vVZeZHL0Yy
Vaccines protect you, your family, and our community. Confused by changing national recommendations? With flu season approaching, take a moment to get the facts from the Oregon Health Authority. 🔗https://t.co/IeubTyatqv
Last year, Trump cruelly cut the 988 Press 3 LGBTQ+ hotline — slashing a vital lifeline for our LGBTQ+ youth. ‼️Here is the good news: I am proud to say it's been restored and is now operational‼️ ➡️ If you or someone you know is in distress, text or dial 988 to be connected with a trained counselor who is ready to assist.
There aren't enough words to describe the heartbreak of seeing babies and children representing themselves in immigration court. I am fighting every day for these children to be released from ORR’s inhumane cages and to reunite them with their families. This abusive nightmare needs to end.
This might be a hot take for Republicans, but Americans should not be dipping into their savings account to get by. President Trump, do you really think the affordability crisis is still a "hoax"?
BIG NEWS: @SenJeffMerkley and I have introduced legislation to right a historic wrong and transfer 18,000+ acres to the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. Their stewardship will enhance forest health, bolster wildfire resilience, and improve community safety for Oregonians. https://t.co/rE6HxPzDO0
The choice to have an abortion should be between a woman and her doctor — not politicians. Sadly, in the 50 years since the restrictive Hyde Amendment was passed, even more women have faced barriers to accessing reproductive care because Republicans have decided to wage a war to control our bodies.
I have veterans on my team ready to help with any questions you may have about your VA benefits. ➡️ Call (503) 385-0906 or visit https://t.co/F67TFl3hlY to get in contact with my office.
Oregonians are struggling to make ends meet because of Trump’s illegal war, reckless tariffs, and their Big UGLYYY Bill. So no… do NOT keep what you are doing.
Hunger is a policy choice. Republicans slashed vital SNAP benefits at a time when their policies have skyrocketed grocery prices, leaving hardworking families to pay the price. This #HungerActionDay, we recommit to ending hunger instead of stripping support from the people who need it most.
Suicide Prevention Month and National Recovery Month are a call to action. As co-chair of the bipartisan Mental Health Caucus, I am fighting every day to strengthen the continuum of care, expand access to treatment, and protect services that folks depend on. #MentalHealthMonday https://t.co/gpwU9xCs7Y
Happy Chuseok! 추석 잘 보내세요! It was an honor to join the Korean Society of Oregon over the weekend to celebrate this harvest festival and the traditions, culture, and lasting contributions of Korean Americans. https://t.co/8cAaEP48aA
