It's always a pleasure to see @OregonLibraries at the Capitol. Last week, my office participated in their Legislative Day book donation event, dedicating this book to @BeavertonLib. Libraries provide myriad community services beyond books, and we all benefit by supporting them.
Please join me, along with Senator @KateForOregon and Mayor @laceybeaty, for a Town Hall in Beaverton on Thursday, January 5th at 5:30pm.

The Inflation Reduction Act is the most impactful climate and clean energy bill in U.S. history. I'm looking forward to seeing the impact in Oregon as we work to cut pollution, advance environmental justice, lower energy costs and create good-paying jobs. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2…
Among many meaningful resources coming to our region through the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the @CityofBeaverton will receive $2 million to help make streets safer and more friendly for pedestrians, cyclists, and others in its downtown loop. tinyurl.com/2s8ytc8y

Right now guns are the number one killer of children in the US—more than car accidents or cancer. We're committed to taking bold action and passing common sense gun laws that save lives. Here’s what we’ve done so far—and we won't stop here. #orleg #NationalGunViolenceAwarenessDay
Thank you to @beavertonea for helping to get out the vote for the May 17th Primary Election!

Statement from Oregon's Legislative Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) Caucus on the draft Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v Wade: “We urge Congress to pass the Women’s Health Protection
Act and protect abortion as essential health care.” #orleg #orpol #abortion
ALT After nearly 50 years, the U.S. Supreme Court decision is expected to roll back federal abortion protections in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health case that will dramatically reshape access to abortion and essential reproductive health care across the country. Oregon has been preparing for this moment. In 2017, reproductive justice and community-based organizations helped to pass the Reproductive Health Equity Act to ensure that Oregonians can continue to access comprehensive health care, including abortion, regardless of the decisions made by the Supreme Court. We know that abortion bans disproportionately criminalize low-income, Black and Brown communities. Earlier this year, the Oregon State Legislature invested $15 million into the Oregon Reproductive Health Equity Fund to improve abortion access and meet the increased demand for reproductive health care. We urge Congress to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act and protect abortion as essential health care.
