Dear Friend,
These are extremely challenging times. I’m deeply grateful to the health care workers, first responders, grocery store employees, postal workers, child care providers, and all of the other essential workers who are on the front lines keeping our communities going. Thank you for your hard work. My heart goes out to all the families who have experienced this illness, especially those who have lost a precious loved one. We may be physically separated, but we grieve these losses together as a community.
I’m doing all I can to bring more federal funding to Oregon to relieve the severe economic distress we’re experiencing, and to address the strain on our health care system from COVID-19. Here are a few local highlights of the federal funding I helped secure:

Despite these resources, many in our community are still suffering. Much more must be done to support our workers, families, and communities. Here are some of the things I’m working on. |
