Decisions about war and peace must go through Congress. The American people and our service members deserve transparency and accountability. We cannot risk an unnecessary war with Iran.

Last week, on June 11th, I spoke out against the use of military force and surveillance drones to suppress peaceful protestors in Los Angeles.

I will continue to oppose any expansion of police surveillance here in Oregon. #ORLeg #ORPol

I rose yesterday on the House Floor to say what many Oregonians know: our transportation system is in crisis. If we can’t afford to maintain it, we can’t afford to build it. Let’s invest in safety, maintenance, and the workers who keep Oregon moving. #orleg #orpol

I spoke out today because what’s happening to Congresswoman LaMonica McIver @replamonica.bsky.social is wrong.

Oversight is not a crime. Advocacy is not a crime. I won’t stay silent while women of color in office are targeted for doing their jobs. #orleg #orpol

Yesterday, Governor Kotek signed HB 3920—my first bill signed into law this session. It expands access to the Disabled Veterans Dependent Tuition Waiver for children of disabled veterans by raising the age limit, recognizing delays in disability ratings. #orleg #orpol

I stood on the House Floor this week to sound the alarm:

ICE is targeting Oregon workplaces again and trying to turn employers into agents of fear.

These tactics are meant to intimidate.

But they only work when people don’t know their rights.

Oregon will not be silent.

🎉 I’m proud to share that my bill, HB 3920, is headed to the Governor’s desk!

This legislation expands tuition benefits for the children of 100% disabled veterans by raising the age cap for Oregon’s Veterans Dependent Tuition Waiver from 23 to 31.

I spoke out against reckless federal layoffs. A day later, the Administration moved to cut 80K VA jobs.

🛑 80000 families struggling to pay bills.
🛑 80000 public servants—many veterans—discarded.
I won’t stay silent. We must stand up for workers and veterans. #OrLeg #OrPol

Oregon’s sanctuary status is more than a policy — it is a beacon of hope. #orpol #orleg

On Jan. 13, I was sworn in for my 2nd term representing House District 45 as the 2025 Legislative Session began. Governor Kotek’s State of the State reaffirmed her focus on housing, education, addiction, and climate. Excited to work on policies to strengthen Oregon!
