Health care will be a big fight in 2024

Bonamici For Congress     Donald Trump wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which would strip health insurance away from about 40 million Americans. And he's making it a central part of his 2024 campaign. With the support of MAGA Republicans like Speaker Mike Johnson,…

The average cost of child care is up to $13,700 per child

Bonamici For Congress 15% of parents were forced to make career choices based on child care.     Child care is a basic necessity for working families; it can make or break a family budget. The average annual cost of child care in Oregon is up to $13,700 per toddler – an enormous…

This isn’t governing - it’s legislating emergency by emergency

Bonamici For Congress Let’s put responsible leaders back in charge of the House.     Extremist Republicans in the House are scheming to pass a national abortion ban, gut hard-fought voting rights laws, and chip away at - or even repeal - the Affordable Care Act. My priorities co…

Our plans for the next year

Bonamici For Congress     On Tuesday, Americans overwhelmingly chose reproductive freedom, stood up for voting rights, and rejected the MAGA extremism of the current Republican Party. We're less than one year away from the 2024 general election, and we know that despite the vic…

This requires national attention.

Bonamici For Congress     The prevalence of illicit fentanyl in fake pain pills is putting students at high risk of overdosing. This powerful synthetic opioid is lethal, even in small doses. And sadly, many students are taking these pills, not realizing that they could be fatal…

We are on a dangerous path.

Bonamici For Congress     House Republicans have caved to MAGA extremism. Throughout the excruciatingly long Speaker debacle, they repeatedly and unapologetically aligned themselves with the extreme MAGA right. Democrats proposed sensible bipartisan solutions, but House Republi…

A Speaker extreme enough to satisfy the Republicans.

Bonamici For Congress House Republicans have installed an election denier as Speaker.     After 22 days, House Republicans found a Speaker extreme enough to satisfy them. Rather than working with Democrats to find a bipartisan solution, Republicans unanimously elected little-kno…

Congressional Republicans created this chaos.

The harmful priorities of MAGA Republicans
