The Trump Administration is withholding funding for housing assistance programs, which could cause 170,000 Americans to lose their homes this winter.

Trump’s chaotic economic policies are driving up costs for Oregonians and adding unnecessary stress to the holiday season.

If Speaker Johnson refuses to hold a vote to protect tax credits in the #AffordableCareAct before the end of the year, over 20,000 Oregonians in CD5 will see their healthcare costs rise.

Every chance they have, Republicans are taking action to make healthcare less affordable, and I’ve had enough.
Healthcare is expensive enough as it is – Oregonians don’t need DC politicians raising their costs even more.

Republicans are playing games with programs Americans rely on, and it's taking a toll. I’m proud of how Oregon has protected access to SNAP for those who use it to put food on the table.
This is about feeding our families, children, & seniors – the games need to stop.

Across the country, we’re seeing a shortage of trained workers in housing markets – especially in rural communities – that’s driving up costs for homebuyers.
I’m introducing a bipartisan bill, the Appraisal Industry Improvement Act, to address this shortage and make it easier to buy a home.

If we don’t extend them by the end of the year, David will see his costs go up hundreds of dollars. I won’t leave Oregonians behind – the fight is far from over.
