Seniors
Information regarding my stance on Seniors' issues.
This fall I wrapped up a series of six town hall meetings with two final meetings in Cannon Beach and Portland. I celebrated the Portland Thorns' victory in the National Women's Soccer League Championship—go Thorns! Another highlight was working with Senator Jeff Merkley to bring the "I Am Not Invisible" exhibit featuring Oregon women veterans to the nation's capital.
I join those across Oregon and the country who are deeply concerned about the devastating and deadly flooding unleashed by Hurricane Harvey in Texas and Louisiana. In Congress, I'll work with my colleagues to make sure the thousands of families harmed by the storm get the help they need.
