Jobs and Economy

College costs, student loan debt and net neutrality were among the topics raised by some of Oregon's youngest workers when they met Monday (Aug. 28) with two U.S. representatives, both elected in 2012.

McMINNVILLE, Ore. — An Oregon member of Congress heard from organic dairy cooperative members last week about what they want from the next farm bill.

Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Ore., toured the newly refurbished Organic Valley Creamery and Forest Glen Jerseys dairy farm on Aug. 25 and was briefed on the co-op's priorities as Congress works on a new farm bill.

U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici says she continues to plug away at regional priorities, particularly in education and the environment, despite turmoil on the national political stage.

Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici visited McKay Elementary School in Beaverton today to learn about Camp Achieve, a summer school program that uses STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and design and mathematics) tools to keep K-5 students engaged and learning during their school vacation.

On a visit to the North Coast Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici ate lunch in the upstairs dining room of the Bridgewater Bistro, a restaurant aided financially by Craft3 inside a building the nonprofit lender helped restore.
