Today, I introduced the Protecting Our Public Lands from Data Centers Act, a bill dedicated to every Oregonian who called my office and spoke out.
This administration wants to sell our public lands to the highest bidder for destructive data centers, but I refuse to stand by. I will keep fighting to protect these lands and keep them in public hands for generations to come.
Happy Veterans Day Oregon! From returning tens of thousands of dollars to veterans across our district to fighting for you on the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee, I will continue showing up where it counts. Stay loud.
House Republicans must stop protecting Secretary Pete Hegseth.
He has only led with chaos and cruelty, and the American people have had enough. He must be impeached.
This is absurd and dangerous. These lands belong to us all, not just the rich and powerful. I’m working on legislation right now to put a stop to this.
Hands off our public lands.
Secretary Doug Burgum, I’m looking at you.

Stephen Miller has led with unabashed cruelty. Trump promoting him to Chief of Staff reflects an absolute dismissal of the will of the American people who rejected Trump’s authoritarian agenda. This may be his response, but not the final say.
I will keep fighting to hold the crooks accountable and enforce the rule of law. Stay loud.

After a very challenging year, our local farmers deserve our support.
It was a joy to visit with the farmers who run Pearls Place, a beautiful farm in Hood River. For over 100 years, they have been harvesting crops like pears, apples, and cherries and feeding families in our district. Be sure to check them out.

Wow. This is amazing!
The incoming House Oversight Committee chairman @RobertGarcia just outlined the four main investigations that Democrats will be opening when they take back the house in January.
It’s about time!!
Congresswoman Maxine Dexter retweeted
For the first time in history, more than 100 Democratic women have been elected to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The millions of women who showed up at the polls voted for a better future for all women and girls.
Despite Republican attempts to silence us and take our rights, we will now have a coalition in Congress that is bigger and stronger than ever. We won’t let it go to waste.
It’s Election Day, Oregon! If you haven’t already, be sure to drop off your ballot today.

Gresham’s small businesses & community organizations create jobs & bring our neighbors together. Last week, I heard directly from our community in Gresham and Mayor Stovall about rising costs and what they need to succeed. I look forward to advocating for you within the halls of Congress. Stay loud.
Thank you for booking out local theaters across town to watch Wildwood, a Portland-grown masterpiece! The movie is an incredible display of what makes Portland so special, and is truly a love letter to the district.

Our President is raking in record profits while you pay more at the pump. Instead of making life easier for you, he is playing into the hand of Big Oil. It has to stop.
I introduced three bills to hold Big Oil accountable & keep these companies from passing their costs onto American taxpayers. I won't stop until these bills are enacted into law and Big Oil stops taking advantage of taxpayers.

It's a shame we're only setting our clocks back an hour tonight and not to before Trump became president...
Oregon grocery and gas prices are through the roof.
It shouldn’t be this hard to get by. You deserve a life you can afford, and I’m working to ensure that reality. Stay loud.

Once again, this administration is selling out to the highest bidder at Americans’ expense. As a pulmonologist, I know the damage this will cause: Dirtier air and more people in the hospital.
I am committed to using every tool available to reverse this shameful rule change. Stay loud.

2026 was the worst wildfire season on record, and we must do more to protect our lands, communities, and wildland firefighters.
Thank you to our local experts and leaders for joining me for our quarterly wildfire roundtable to discuss the changes we need to make to create safer, more resilient landscapes and communities. I am honored to be partnering with such passionate, dedicated public servants in this work. Stay loud.
