State Representative for Oregon House District 49. Passionate supporter of working families, civil rights and environmental justice.
Last week, Donald Trump announced, "We're going to cut Democrat programs." Yesterday, the US Dept. of Education laid off 466 employees overseeing special education, basically eliminating the department. Apparently, Trump considers special education a partisan issue now.

Welcome to your newly renovated Capitol!

Welcome to your newly renovated Capitol!
Today I was proud to vote for the transportation bill, which asked both sides to give on some of their priorities.
The bill we passed today means that the state, counties and cities will be able to keep roads safe and in good repair, provide emergency response and maintain public transit.

I was able to help secure $8 million in state funds to help rebuild Fire Station 74! Many thanks to Gresham Professional Firefighters Local 1062 and the City of Gresham. This station is desperately needed, and with local funding already committed, the project can get started.

Yesterday was a tough day at the Capitol. HB 2025, the transportation package, fell short by one vote in the Senate. This package was based on input from thousands of Oregonians, and it would have stabilized maintenance, safety and transit, brought in Federal funds, and helped modernize the system.

Yesterday we passed an important bill to close a loophole in Oregon's prevailing wage laws. HB 2688 makes sure that any work on a prevailing wage project is included, even if it is performed offsite. Thanks to Rep. Willy Chotzen and Rep. Dacia Grayber for their help! #orpol #labor

I just doesn't stop. Oregon Republicans propose another anti-trans bill, and my colleagues and I rise to speak against it. Nevertheless, looking forward to a Pride Month full of celebration and community. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🎉 #orpol #lgbtqrights

#JobCorps sites nationwide are getting cut, including those in Oregon. Job Corps is a lifeline for the most at-risk young people to build employable skills. This isn't efficiency, this is DOGE cruelty. youtu.be/UKN2ed62AJk?...

Today I took the opportunity to respond to a floor letter that had been left on our desks. This kind of bad logic is used all to often to target immigrants. #orpol #immigration

In preparation for a vote on SB 1098, which places limits on book bans and protects books on diverse topics, #ACLU of Oregon has set up a display of frequently banned books in my office. I'm here with Representative Lisa Fragala in support of the Freedom to Read!

This week I got to visit with a delegation of Ukranian professors and university administrators who were visiting through Oregon State University. I was honored to welcome them to our Capitol. #SlavaUkraini

Trump’s Tariffs and uncertainty around federal funding are taking a toll on Oregon workers and businesses. Recently, Portland Business Journal spoke with people from all 36 counties about how they have been impacted.

Corbett School District's Federal School-Based Mental Health grant is being ended early. It was supposed to go through 2027.
The Trump administration makes big claims about reducing "waste" in Federal spending. Don't fall for it. They're cutting programs that help kids.

Some of my colleagues across the aisle have difficulty with any idea outside of the gender binary. I took this opportunity to speak up for intersex Oregonians. #orpol #lgbtqia #intersexawareness
