Thank you to the more than 10,000 Oregonians who joined our wildfire preparedness telephone town hall last night with Oregon State Fire Mariana Ruiz-Temple. With wildfire season fast approaching, we must take steps to be prepared.

Instead of using this money for housing, for food or to help pregnant women and children eat, today’s reconciliation bill gave $70 billion more to ICE and CPB. We are not done fighting.
I want to make sure that reconciliation does not become a blank check for spending millions of taxpayer dollars while putting American lives on the line.
1/ This year’s Social Security Trustees Report came out this week and the numbers don’t lie. The Administration is attacking the benefits workers have already earned to ensure they can retire in dignity instead of poverty.
In 2026, women earn 81 cents on average for every dollar men earn despite today being the 63rd anniversary of the Equal Pay Act. I urge my colleagues to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act to close the pay gap and ensure equal pay for equal work. Let's get this done.
This week my colleagues and I passed @norcross.house.gov's Faster Labor Contracts Act, requiring employers to speed up contract negotiations once a union is created. When workers do well, our economy thrives and our businesses do better.
Happy World Ocean Day! Today we recognize our duty to protect, conserve and maintain our oceans and natural resources. I will keep fighting to protect our district's beautiful 250 miles of coastline that supports marine life and the local economy.
Americans deserves access to decent, affordable and safe housing. I’m reintroducing the DASH Act, with @wyden.senate.gov & @carbajal.house.gov, that will tackle homelessness and the affordability crisis by expanding housing choice vouchers, low-and middle-income housing tax credits & renter support.
2/ We shouldn't be asking more from firefighters, nurses, iron workers and teachers than we ask of billionaires like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos. We must make the wealthy pay their fair share and the Social Security Expansion Act would make that happen.

A great place to start is signing up for emergency notifications through OR-Alert to get timely information when it matters most. We'll continue sharing more resources.
