Dear friends and neighbors,
Please continue your prayers for our communities and cities across House District 60 and Oregon as they continue to battle the fires. Stay safe if you need to evacuate, and reach out to my office if you are facing difficulties finding or accessing resources. Continue to have grace and patience with each other as emotions are high and everyone is stretched thin. Thank you to all of the firefighters, ground teams, volunteers and those who have provided help and time, your efforts do not go unnoticed.
