Beaverton, OR – Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici visited six schools in Columbia and Washington Counties today to talk about education policy and funding.

“This was a great opportunity for me to see first-hand how education policy is working in the classroom,” Bonamici said. “There has been a lot of discussion about curriculum, assessment, and education reform, but there is no better way to understand what’s working in a classroom than talking with students, teachers, and administrators.”

Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici criticized the bill that the House of Representatives voted on today to address the “doc-fix,” the sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula used to reimburse physicians who treat Medicare patients.

The bill would fix the SGR, but it also includes an amendment that delays a critical part of the Affordable Care Act, a law that is already protecting insurers from denying coverage because of pre-existing conditions and providing other critical consumer protections.

Washington, D.C. — Representatives Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR) and Jim McDermott (D-WA) praised today’s decision by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to begin a process that may end up blocking a gold and copper mine that could endanger a crucial watershed in Bristol Bay, Alaska.
