Seniors
Information regarding my stance on Seniors' issues.
WASHINGTON – Today Congresswomen Karen Bass (D-CA) and Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR) introduced a resolution to raise awareness about the barrage of fraud attempts that seniors face nationwide. The resolution encourages Congress to implement policies to prevent senior scams from happening and to improve protections from these scams. The resolution would also support the designation of May 15, 2018, as "National Senior Fraud Awareness Day".
Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici (OR-01) announced six town hall meetings across the First Congressional District, which includes Washington, Yamhill, Clatsop, and Columbia counties and part of Multnomah County.
Bonamici will take questions from residents and provide an update on her work in Congress. The town hall meetings will be held in Portland, Beaverton, McMinnville, St. Helens, Forest Grove, and Astoria.
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. Too often women veterans feel invisible, but seeing the faces and stories of women veterans from Oregon in the halls of Congress was a proud moment for me and for women veterans everywhere.
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.
