Update: My response to the passage of the big, bad bill

Bonamici For Congress     Earlier this week, Senate Republicans passed a cruel, destructive bill targeted at the most vulnerable Americans. Today, after an all night debate, House Republicans did the same. This Big, Bad Bill gives tax breaks to corporations and the wealthy and …

We can stop the cruelty, stop the chaos, and stop the corruption

Bonamici For Congress     We're sending a clear message to MAGA Republicans that we're never going to compromise on our values. Through rallies, marches, and protests in every corner of Oregon and across the country, the American people are saying stop the cruelty, stop the cha…

Bonamici For Congress     It's Ellie, Suzanne's campaign manager, back with an update on some big goals and how we plan to make them a reality. Republicans have made clear what they want to do – and how far they're willing to go. Suzanne and thousands of Oregonians like you are…

20 states are protecting or expanding abortion rights

Bonamici For Congress     Three years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and ended the federal right to abortion after nearly 50 years. The issue is now up to the states. Since then, we've seen state-level victories across the country, including Arizona, Kansas, Mont…

Cruel and chaotic

Bonamici For Congress     Under President Trump's direction, ICE is carrying out cruel and chaotic actions across the country. Recently, Trump's Justice Department filed flimsy charges against my colleague, Rep. LaMonica McIver of New Jersey, after she visited an ICE facility i…

Really bad things you might not know about in the Big Bad Bill: Part 3

Bonamici For Congress     For good reason, there has been a lot of discussion about the cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and food assistance in the Republican's Big Bad Bill – cuts that are in the bill to pay for tax breaks that benefit corporations and the wealthy. But there are se…

A GOP tax scam means costs go up for you

Fund Head Start, not tax cuts for billionaires

Bonamici For Congress     President Trump says he wants women to have more babies, but his self-appointed, unelected, head of DOGE and MAGA Republicans are putting about 700,000 preschoolers at risk of losing access to Head Start. Head Start opens doors of opportunity for worki…

It does nothing to lower costs for Oregonians

Bonamici For Congress     Republicans just unveiled a plan that will cut or end healthcare for more than 8 million Americans and cut SNAP food assistance for families and kids. It does nothing to lower costs for Oregonians and Americans, but it will give about $4.5 trillion dol…

I’m fighting back

Bonamici For Congress     Oregonians stand firmly against this administration and the illegal, unethical, and cruel actions it's taking. More than half the country now disapproves of the job President Trump is doing. Public backlash has forced them to walk back, delay, or scrap…

Their approval rating is cratering

Bonamici For Congress     We are 100 days into the Trump administration. The low approval ratings for Trump, DOGE, and Musk reflect what a disaster it's been and how out of touch this administration is with real people and what they are going through. It's been 100 days of chao…

Not how we fix a broken system

Bonamici For Congress     Our immigration system is broken. Dreamers are stuck in limbo, we make it way too hard for immigrants to become citizens, and there aren't enough judges to process asylum claims for people fleeing persecution or violence. Instead of fixing what's broke…

The fight to win the majority in the House has already begun

Project 2025’s plans for Social Security

I voted no

Bonamici For Congress     A budget is a statement of values, and the budget the Republicans passed is cruel, unnecessary, and extreme. It requires $800+ billion in cuts that will come from important programs like Medicaid. This is a direct threat to health care for more than a …

“How can I help?”

Right out of the Project 2025 playbook

Changing our strategy, but not our mission
