Mother, physician, Congresswoman (OR3). Fighting to provide all Oregonians with access to the resources they need to be healthy, safe, & thrive.
Great patient care takes a team. I worked side by side with incredible nurses for 20 years, and I'm so proud to have earned the endorsement of the @oregonnursesassoc.bsky.social
I'm proud to receive the endorsement of @reproductivefreedomforall.org As a physician, I've seen how deeply personal healthcare decisions can be. I'll keep fighting in Congress to protect reproductive freedom and every person's right to make their own healthcare decisions.
Your healthcare decisions belong to you. I'm honored to receive the endorsement of the @ppact.org Planned Parenthood Action Fund. I'll keep fighting in Congress to protect reproductive healthcare and the freedom to make those decisions. Stay Loud.
Your healthcare costs shouldn't eat your raise. Employer health benefit costs are rising nearly twice as fast as wages. Lowering healthcare costs isn't just good healthcare policy, it's good economic policy. Stay loud. Source: BLS Employment Cost Index (Q2 2026)
Pride is a continuous act of resilience and resistance — a fight to create a world where everyone can live as their full, authentic selves. Portland, you showed up in all your beautiful glory to the Pride Parade! It was an incredible joy to be out, celebrating with you!
I am proud to be endorsed by Giffords and Newtown Action Alliance. Together, we are fighting for safe communities and a future free from gun violence. As a physician, I know firsthand that the gun violence is a public health crisis and we must act.
Check out my latest endorsement! I am honored to receive the Care for U.S. Candidate designation from the Committee to Protect Healthcare. I am proud to stand with them in this fight for every Oregonian.
As we continue to honor our nation’s 250th birthday, we asked our Democracy Summer Interns what this milestone means to them. Check out what they said!
Happy 250th Independence Day! America was never meant to be a finished product—it is a living promise to equal opportunity in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Today, I recommit to doing all I can to best fulfill my role in this most beautiful experiment.
62 years ago today, this country chose to do better. The Civil Rights Act enshrined our commitment to every American having equal rights and opportunity. Today, that commitment is under direct attack by the far right. This November, we must defend it by flipping the House blue.
Last week, I was thrilled to welcome this year's Democracy Summer interns to the campaign. These bright, hardworking young organizers are deeply motivated to serve their communities. Please join me in welcoming them!
Parade season is the BEST season! I had so much fun yesterday at the Good in the Hood parade. Oregon's 3rd, your joy and spirit is infectious. This is the community we're fighting for. Register to vote and let's make sure our voices are heard this November.
Portland, you showed up today! I am honored to have marched with you at the Clara Peoples Freedom Parade and celebrate black joy, black resilience, and community. Let’s honor Juneteenth and advance the fight for justice and equity by voting this November.
Juneteenth is an enduring reminder of the fight for equity in this country — a fight that continues today. Freedom is not given, it is fought for. That struggle lives on every time we organize, show up, and vote. Oregon's Third, I am honored to stand with you.
Pride began as a protest, and today, that spirit matters more than ever. I proudly stand with the LGBTQ+ community in the fight for dignity, equality, & joy. We must protect trans youth & defend the right to love freely. Love is love, that is never changing. Happy Pride Month!
Democrats cannot afford mistakes. We must WIN, not just the House, but the Senate and the White House, if we are going to create the country you deserve. Ken Martin needs an immediate action plan for how to fix this mess.
It has been an honor to serve as the Congresswoman for Oregon’s 3rd, and I am honored you have chosen me to be your Democratic Nominee again this year. This fight is for all of us, and together, we will build the future we deserve!
Strong schools, a union job & affordable housing changed my life. I want to keep fighting for every Oregonian to have the same opportunity. You deserve thriving schools, healthcare that works, & housing you can afford! Ballots due by 8 PM tonight — make your voice heard!
Oregon’s 3rd! Tomorrow is Oregon’s primary election, and I am energized to keep fighting for you! Drop off your ballots at your nearest drop box to have your voice heard!
In my first term, I’ve heard from all corners of this district — folks want to lower costs, end illegal wars & corruption, dismantle ICE, transform our healthcare system, and more. This election is about Oregonians coming together to demand better. I won’t stop fighting for you!
There are 5 days left until the primary election! One of the best ways to stay loud is by voting. Don't wait — drop off your ballot at the nearest drop box or postmark it by Tuesday. Let’s win this, together!
The Women's Power Brunch was a success! I’m honored to be in community with outstanding, courageous leaders fighting to empower Oregonians. When women lead, things get done.
Oregon’s Third ‼️ We are less than two weeks away from the Primary Election. Make your voices heard & get your ballot in as soon as possible! Democracy only works when we show up.
St. Johns, you showed OUT today! What a joy to see so many of you at the parade. This community is an absolute treasure, and I will continue to fearlessly fight for you in Congress. Don’t forget to vote! The primary election is May 19th.
Endorsement Round Up Pt.2! A union job gave me stability to work my way through college. Fighting for workers isn't just good policy for me — it's personal. I will relentlessly fight for more union jobs and stronger workers' rights. Our democracy is strongest when unions thrive.
Oregonians deserve a fighter in Congress. I'm running to help build an America we can be proud of. One that offers economic opportunity to all, makes healthcare accessible and affordable, builds a humane & dignified immigration system, & cares for our planet. We are just getting started. STAY LOUD!
I am also honored to be awarded the Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate distinction! I’m proud to stand with them in the fight to keep our communities and kids safe from gun violence. 2/2
Endorsement Round up! I am honored to have the support of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Oregon League of Conservation Voters, SEEC PAC, & National Women’s Political Caucus. Thank you for joining me in fighting for a future we deserve! 1/2
Oregonians, the deadline to register to vote in the May Primary is April 28. It just takes a few minutes and your voice matters. Serving you is an honor — I'm in this fight for you. Let's make it count! sos.oregon.gov/voting/pages...
