A mom of four and small businesswoman, Congresswoman Janelle Bynum understands the challenges facing hard-working families in Oregon’s 5th Congressional District. She has an accomplished track record of fighting for lower costs, good paying jobs, and quality schools.

In Washington, Janelle understands the serious threat Trump poses to our rights and democracy and she has been a leader in the fight against his overreach and corruption. She has proven to be a work horse, not a show horse, cutting through partisanship to deliver greater opportunities for Oregonians to get ahead.

Janelle is delivering on the issues that matter most for our families:

• A “K-30” platform to ensure hard work translates to opportunity – Janelle is fighting for young Americans through bipartisan efforts aimed at improving education, creating jobs, and lowering the cost of housing.
• Fighting for affordability – Janelle is focused on lowering costs, from groceries to housing to healthcare, and pushing back against the Trump administration’s efforts to gut the Affordable Care Act.
• Standing up to Trump and ICE – Janelle has been clear that she will not tolerate a federal takeover of our communities. She has fearlessly called out the administration’s lies and called out Donald Trump’s version of ICE for what it is: a collection of goons who are rounding up people based on the color of their skin and kidnapping them off the streets.
