As we near the end of January, one thing is clear: the new Congress is divided.

Republicans hold an extremely narrow majority in the House, and they've already shown their inability to reach consensus and effectively govern. Despite the dysfunction, I will still strive to do good work and get things done.

As representatives, we are elected to serve no matter who holds the majority.

I couldn't do this work without the strong grassroots support of people like you. We are coming up on our first deadline of 2023. Will you help us reach our goal with a donation of $9 before the end of January?

I'm not there to play politics – I'm there to help the vibrant communities in Northwest Oregon thrive.

That means I'll keep fighting to end hunger, create more affordable housing, protect the environment and reproductive freedoms, make child care and health care more affordable, and strengthen public education.

Will you join me in the fight with a donation of $9?

I'm committed to hard work and finding common ground to get things done for the people of NW Oregon.

Thank you for standing with me.
