I grew up in a working-class family--with good public schools, reliable transit, union job, affordable housing and hard work--I was able to build a better life than my parents had. That is the American story we all deserve. The one I'm fighting to make possible for every Oregonian.
For over 20 years, my patients and my children have trusted me to listen and fight for them. In Congress, I’ve continued to do exactly that. In my 40+ town halls, I heard you want me to get things done--so I secured $14M in federal funding for community-led projects, helped Oregonians recover millions they were owed by the federal government, fought to get fourteen neighbors released from ICE detention, and I am the first freshman House Democrat to pass a bill into law in this Congress!
I will continue fighting for:
