Let's talk about education

Bonamici For Congress     Education is an important investment we make for our future. But during four frustrating years of Betsy DeVos and Donald Trump, we often had to fight back against their hateful and destructive policies instead of making progress. We know that when we work togeth…

We must stop the damage

Bonamici For Congress     In his administration’s final weeks, Donald Trump is ready to spoil a pristine landscape to enrich his polluter friends. Trump has had a greedy eye on the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge his entire term. This NPR headline says it all: Trump Administration Rus…

What the Biden/Harris victory means to Oregon

Bonamici For Congress     After a tumultuous and challenging election, I'm thrilled to say: we did it! After the final two states were called on Friday, we know that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will win with 306 electoral votes (the same number that Trump called a "landslide" four year…

An Oregon Tax Credit you won't want to miss

Donald Trump & the GOP are trying to meddle in Oregon.

✍️ Signature needed: pause the Supreme Court hearings

My friend, Lauren

A win for our seniors? We need one.

Bonamici For Congress     Donald Trump has touted the excellent health care he received while being treated for COVID-19. But if he were on Medicare, just one of the drugs he received would have cost $2,340. Most of the seniors I know could not afford that. Many seniors struggle to pay…

questions on the table tonight

Bonamici For Congress     With so many crises challenging our country right now, the lack of substance at the first Presidential Debate was disheartening. I'm hopeful that tonight's Vice Presidential debate will be more informative, but I'm worried that one of the most pressing issues w…

Bonamici For Congress     Today I am thinking about Breonna Taylor, the 26-year-old woman who was gunned down in her sleep by three police officers more than six months ago. Earlier this week, news broke that not one of the officers involved was charged in her death. This is not justice…

Donald Trump's latest plan to cut the safety net:

$11 million taken from Oregon public schools...in a pandemic?

Why We Must Save Child Care
