Over the next two years

Bonamici For Congress     The next Congress hasn't even started, and we're already dealing with chaos from Trump and the Republican party. We had a bipartisan, bicameral agreement to keep the government open, but Republicans killed it when Elon Musk decided he doesn't like it. …

Instead of feeling hopeless

Bonamici For Congress     It's been a difficult few weeks in D.C. and across the country. Many have felt hopeless or defeated, but it's helpful and important to focus on the things you can do right now to make a positive difference in your community. We know that NW Oregon is e…

Changing our strategy, but not our mission

Bonamici For Congress     I'm incredibly disappointed by the election results, and I know many of you are too. Donald Trump and the Republicans will hold the White House for four years. They'll have the majority in the Senate, and a slim majority in the House of Representatives…

We all do better when we all do better

Bonamici For Congress     Too many people in our country are struggling to make ends meet, and it's clear the economy is not working for everyone. Voters are rightly looking to their leaders, especially the presidential candidates, to create more economic opportunity and lower …

This climate crisis is here

Bonamici For Congress     Donald Trump and JD Vance pretend that the climate crisis is a hoax, but it's already here. This summer brought wildfires, smoke, and drought, and now, the fall brings destructive hurricanes and torrential flooding, even in areas hundreds of miles from…

I hope I earned your support

Bonamici For Congress     The election is less than two weeks away and this is the home stretch for our campaign. It's time for a new majority in Congress and it's time to put Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the White House. I'm honored to have earned the support of the Oregon Nu…

Finally, a plan for child care

JD Vance refused

Bonamici For Congress     Extremists like JD Vance and Donald Trump are attacking the foundations of democracy – voting rights, ballot access, and even the basic fact of who won the 2020 presidential election. In front of an audience of millions, JD Vance refused to tell the tr…

The people deserve functional government

Bonamici For Congress     You've read the headlines: Republicans block IVF protections, Trump and Vance spread vicious rumors about immigrant communities, and Mike Johnson threatened to shut down the government. MAGA Republicans in Congress haven't done anything to raise wages …

Can you join us?

Bonamici For Congress     The last few weeks have been a whirlwind. With just 4 seats needed to flip the House majority, and an incredibly close presidential race, we have our work cut out for us. That means knocking on doors, making phone calls, and energizing voters to elect …

If they can’t win, they’ll take it to the courts

Bonamici For Congress     Despite the momentum behind the Harris/Walz campaign, Trump and his MAGA friends aren't giving up. And if they can't win voters with substance, policy, or style, they will try to win through the courts. One of the most important issues we will face if …

Same old tired playbook

Bonamici For Congress     The difference could not be more clear. Kamala Harris laid out her vision for a better future – while skillfully calling Trump out for his lies, extremism, and pettiness. I know our country can't afford another Trump presidency, so that's why I'm doing …

Republicans are desperate to hold on to power

Bonamici For Congress     We're about 65 days from the election – and we're anticipating razor-thin results. November 5th could mean the difference between reproductive freedom and a national abortion ban, taxes on the wealthy or on the working class, and expanded voting rights…

Why 14 states refused money to feed hungry kids:

This is the ticket of two self-serving individuals

Bonamici For Congress     The Republican National Convention was a disgrace. Although some were expecting a new tone from Trump and MAGA Republicans, what we saw was more hate, division, and extremism. In Trump's meandering speech last night he continued to spread lies about the…

Trump’s Project 2025 is a dangerous takeover of power, rights, and freedom

Bonamici For Congress     Project 2025 is the game plan for Trump and a MAGA controlled Congress to destroy the federal government if they win in November. It's a dangerous set of policies that allow Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson, and MAGA Republicans to consolidate power, sile…

The Supreme Court decision puts democracy at risk
