Republicans have put a target on your health care — first with Medicaid cuts in their Big, Ugly Bill, and now by shutting down the government to block your access to affordable care.

Clearly, they are not in the business of working for you. #WhereisMikeJohnson?

After cutting Medicaid and shuttering rural hospitals, Republicans have now shut down the government, driving up health costs for nearly 30% of workers. Rural communities are once again paying for Republican dysfunction.

As a Republican, I'm very disappointed in my party, and I'm very disappointed in you. You do have the power to call the House back. You refused to do that just for a show.

I spoke at a Steering & Policy Committee hearing where I shared #OR06 constituents Conni and Steve's stories.

If Republicans do not extend the premium tax credits, Americans like Conni and Steve will face devastating impacts to their wallets.

To my Republican colleagues: do the right thing.

I know how Republicans can help hardworking Americans.

✅ They can cancel their cuts to health care.
✅ Extend the premium tax credits.
✅ Lower costs for families.
✅ Save health care. Help Oregonians.
✅ Reopen the government.

Let's start there.
