I grew up in a family with deep union roots. Ahead of Labor Day, I’m thinking about my father, who was a firefighter. He taught me 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.

My father’s words guided me to public service. As a state legislator, I’ve increased my state’s minimum wage, won paid sick leave for workers, and passed a first-in-the-nation requirement for health insurers to cover 12-month supplies of birth control. As Oregon’s Labor Commissioner, I’ve continued to protect the rights of workers.

For the first time in 36 years, this competitive seat is up for grabs. And with control of the House at stake, Republicans will do everything in their power to flip this open seat into their control.

In the primary election, my Republican opponent and I got roughly the same number of votes – which means the work we put in now to organize, reach voters, and communicate our message will determine the outcome of this election.

Help me give working families a powerful new voice in Congress: Split a contribution between me and NewDems today to help us keep this open seat blue and win in November!
