WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today U.S. Representatives Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR-1), Joaquin Castro (D-TX-20), Sara Jacobs (D-CA-51), and Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ-11) and U.S. Senators Tim Kaine, Bob Casey (D-PA), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Tina Smith (D-MN), and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) led a bicameral group of 100 lawmakers in writing to congressional leadership reaffirming their support for robust funding for child care in the final Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 funding legislation.
U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Oregon, whose congressional district includes St. Helens, put out a statement Friday reading in part:
"The allegations that have been made to date reveal an alarming pattern and all those involved in the failures that have led to this crisis must be held accountable for their actions and for the harm caused by their actions. As a senior member of the Education and Workforce committee, a parent, a policymaker, and an Oregonian, I will assist and support the community.”
United States Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici visited Tillamook County on October 9, making stops at Neah Kah Nie Middle and High School, Tillamook Bay Community College and Nestucca Middle School.
Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Ore., accused Republicans of jeopardizing the well-being of sexual misconduct victims while enabling discrimination against LGBTQ+ students.
“This is just an example of the narrow-minded agenda that they have, to take us back to the days when people were in the closet and afraid to be their true selves,” she said.
