Oregon Rep. Suzanne Bonamici noted that hubs will be key to addressing the climate crisis by creating sustainable technology and enhancing resilience of the electric grid.

Before the hearing adjourned, Bonamici urged her colleagues to refocus their attention on other pressing education issues.  

“We need to continue this conversation, but we also need to get back to doing what’s best for children,” she said. “Let’s talk about the schools where they don’t even have a library.” 

Bonamici addressed a wide variety of topics, ranging from her support for continued military aid for Ukraine to the need for comprehensive immigration reform.

“Your feedback really does inform what I do in Washington D.C.,” Bonamici told her constituents at the town hall.

Bonamici promised to vouch for additional funding for medical supplies and continued diplomatic assistance via Congress. She urged people to continue to tune in to news coverage of the conflict.

“We know hundreds have already been killed, including civilians,” Bonamici said. “It’s hard to watch, but watch we must, because we need to know that brutal terrorism is happening there.”

In a statement released minutes after the vote, Bonamici said she voted to remove McCarthy because he “has consistently empowered his conference’s most extreme members.”

“He has stood behind devastating cuts to public education and other government programs that help working families, like SNAP, the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, and Head Start,” she said.
