Oregon Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden and Representatives Peter DeFazio, Kurt Schrader, Suzanne Bonamici and Earl Blumenauer joined a bicameral, bipartisan group of 16 Pacific Northwest lawmakers in a letter Thursday to Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke calling for the Oregon and Washington coasts to be removed from Interior's offshore drilling plan.

Oregon's Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden and Representatives Peter DeFazio, Kurt Schrader, Suzanne Bonamici and Earl Blumenauer today joined a bicameral, bipartisan group of 16 Pacific Northwest lawmakers in a letter to Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke calling for the Oregon and Washington coasts to be removed from Interior's offshore drilling plan.

This week, an Energy Department official called exascale a priority. Next week, researchers meet to talk about making it a reality.

At a Jan. 30 hearing on the Department of Energy's modernization, Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-Ore.) asked officials how they planned to prioritize exascale computing. Research into next-generation supercomputing has pumped at least $1.8 million in DOE exascale funding into Bonamici's home state, according to the University of Oregon.

U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici says more money for drug treatment must be coupled with better education and pain-relieving alternatives to deal with the abuse of opioids.

The Oregon Democrat spoke after she conducted the last of five roundtable discussions with officials and providers of health care and social services — and some people in recovery — in each of the five counties within the 1st Congressional District of northwest Oregon.

U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici and her hosts at Mirador had different things to talk about during her recent visit to the small-business lending platform in Portland.

For Bonamici, an Oregon Democrat, it was the flaws in a pending renewal of federal aid to higher education — particularly the changes backed by Republicans that she views as narrowing the opportunities for students to obtain aid.
