PORTLAND, Ore. – Three members of Oregon's congressional delegation say they support an effort to censure President Donald Trump over his comments blaming "both sides" for the violence in Charlottesville.

"I will be joining in that call. In Congress, if we did something like he did our words are taken down and we are liable for censure if we go to such an egregious, horrifying statement impugning people and I think this qualifies for that so I'll be doing it," Rep. Kurt Schrader said Friday. He announced his support for censure during a taping of KGW's Straight Talk.

Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR), Vice Ranking Member of the House Education and the Workforce Committee, spoke out on behalf of students after the Department of Education announced it would further delay requirements that colleges comply with a rule protecting student loan borrowers.

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.

Surrounding her were other business owners gathered to share their stories of how Craft3 helped them. They asked for the congresswoman's help to protect the funding Craft3 and similar community financiers depend on from cuts in Congress.

CANNON BEACH — State Rep. Deborah Boone on Tuesday praised a bill approved by the Legislature that allows electricity produced from an ocean wave technology test site at Camp Rilea in Warrenton to be used to power the site.

Boone, a strong supporter of wave technology as renewable energy for the Oregon Coast, said initial tests conducted last summer showed promise for future growth in the industry.
