U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR) issued the following statement on President Trump's summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un:
"I will always support efforts to seek peace rather than wage war, and the dialogue begun at the Singapore Summit may eventually yield positive results. But North Korea has repeatedly failed to uphold prior agreements, and it remains to be seen whether Kim Jong-un is truly willing to denuclearize.
Charter schools got some extra attention in Washington, D.C. today in the form of a U.S. House hearing.
The title of the hearing ("The Power of Charter Schools") and the selection of witnesses (three of the four spoke highly of charters) made clear that the intent was to frame the discussion positively.
WASHINGTON (Circa) — House Republicans applauded President Donald Trump's meeting with Kim Jong Un, but they displayed significantly less confidence than the president that North Korea's denuclearization is now a foregone conclusion.
PORTLAND, Ore. – After President Donald Trump met with North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un Tuesday in Singapore, Oregon political leaders shared their thoughts on the summit.
In the meeting, Trump and Kim committed to "complete denuclearization" of the Korean Peninsula. But, Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley and Rep. Suzanne Bonamici feel that Trump gave away too much in exchange for too little.
The U.S. agreed to halt military exercises with its ally South Korea.
In a statement, Merkley said:
U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici has secured a provision in the federal Water Resources Development Act to clear the way for restoration of 52 acres of wetlands along the Walluski River by the Columbia River Estuary Study Taskforce.
The biennial water resources legislation authorizes the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to maintain the nation's water infrastructure. It passed the House on a 408-2 vote and has a high likelihood of passage in the Senate.
Even before a woman posed the question, the answer was evident at the annual panel of mayors at a recent Westside Economic Alliance breakfast.
The only woman among the nine panelists was Suzanne Bonamici of Beaverton — and as a U.S. representative, she was the moderator. All eight participating mayors were men — and except for King City's Ken Gibson, who is black, they are white.
Of the five Washington County cities not represented on the panel at the May event, Teri Lenahan of North Plains is the only woman who is an incumbent mayor.
