Great seeing AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) President Dr. Lori Teller this week! As Co-Chair of the Vet Med Caucus, I have worked closely with #AVMA & appreciate all that they do for the veterinary community. It has been an honor to be a voice for veterinarians & our four-footed friends in Congress.

One year ago, President Biden signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. This historic legislation makes a $5B investment to rebuild highways, improve public transit options, protect against wildfires, support the expansion of EV, and will bring #OR05 projects online! #DeliveringForOregon

Last week during #PetNightOnCapitolHill we joined HABRI in presenting Rep. Kurt Schrader with the Human-Animal Bond Lifetime Achievement Award. As a congressional champion of the veterinary profession, we applaud his dedication to protecting animal and public health.

I am pleased to see @CMSgov approve Oregon’s Medicaid Section 1115 request!

This decision will unlock new federal funding and initiatives to:
✅Expand access to coverage
✅Ensure continuous coverage for children until the age of six
✅Address social determinants of health

Congrats to Port of Portland Oregon State University University of Oregon Oregon Forestry Business Oregon & the Oregon Mass Timber Coalition!

I was proud to support this grant which will make a transformational investment in the future of Oregon’s mass timber industry.

.Dept. of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service recently announced a new expansion of market access for #NorthwestCherries .

This order will support #nwcherrygrowers and bring in millions of dollars in investment to stimulate Oregon's economy and grow rural jobs!

This bipartisan, bicameral legislation will strengthen and improve our supply chains, combat semiconductor manufacturing shortages, create good paying jobs in #OR05 , and help us better compete with China.

My statement on the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade:

I have long been a proponent of common sense gun control that does not infringe on the 2nd amendment, and I am pleased to see the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act pass through the Senate with overwhelming support. My full statement.⬇

My statement on President Biden request for a short term gas tax holiday:

Today, I spoke on the House floor to pay tribute to former Lincoln County Sheriff John O’Brien.

John was a beloved figure in the #OR05 community and will be remembered for his dedication to making life better for those he served.
