Suzanne Bonamici
Strong Leadership, Oregon Values
Suzanne worked her way through community college, university, and law school, so she knows what it’s like to struggle to make ends meet. She worked at Legal Aid and as a consumer protection attorney. Volunteering in public schools inspired her to run for office; now she is fighting every day for a better future.
Defending Oregon Values:
- We face serious challenges as the authoritarian Trump administration attacks democracy, marginalized communities, and constitutional rights. Suzanne will never stop fighting for you in Oregon and in the halls of Congress.
- ICE is terrorizing communities and causing severe harm. Suzanne is leading legislation to end this abuse and will work to pass humane immigration reform.
- People need government to work for them, not for billionaires. The blatant corruption from the Trump administration is illegal and dangerous. Suzanne supports a ban on Congressional stock trading and meaningful campaign finance reform.
Fighting for a Better Future:
- We need an economy that works for everyone, but too many Oregonians are struggling. Costs are rising and inequality is rampant. Suzanne is working to lower prices, help Oregonians afford child care and housing, and close income gaps.
- Our health care system is broken. Suzanne supports Medicare for All, lowering skyrocketing premiums, and making prescription drugs affordable. She will always fight for access to abortion and contraception.
- Education is the best investment we can make. Suzanne is a champion for public education, apprenticeships, debt-free higher education, and career and technical education.
- Food stamps helped Suzanne get through college; now she’s fighting to rollback Trump’s reckless cuts to SNAP and Medicaid.
