John, I’ll be honest: I’m going to ask you for a contribution today, but before I do that, I want to share why I’m running in the first place.

Growing up in a union family, I learned that you have to work hard for everything you get — but you also have to hold the ladder so the next person has the opportunity to climb.

I’ve put that lesson to work throughout my career, starting as a server earning minimum wage and working in the outdoor industry for 25 years before going into public service.

I’ll never forget my roots. I’m proud to fight every day for working people, but National Republicans want to block our progress. They hand-picked my extreme opponent, Monique DeSpain, to carry out their Project 2025 agenda, and they are spending whatever it takes to try to replace me with her.

Can you help us defend Oregon’s 4th District and take back the House by pitching in $5 or any amount before our campaign’s end-of-month deadline?
