Dear Neighbors and Community Members,

A safe and multimodal transportation system is essential for all Oregonians, whether they live in urban or rural areas. Although we did not pass the Transportation Reinvestment Plan this session, we must continue to have meaningful dialogue to ensure this critical work is completed. HB 2025, with the -23 or -28 amendments, has the building blocks necessary to safeguard and invest in our transportation system. There are many of us in the Legislature who are willing to compromise within reason, but our primary goals have to be met, including funding for:

• Safe Routes to School
• Great Streets Program
• Maintenance and operations work statewide
• System preservation 
• Transit in rural and urban areas
• The completion of our anchor projects

This type of work is not just about a bill. We require short-term, medium-term, and long-term funding plans to address our needs for economic opportunity, community connectivity, and safety across all modes of transportation. We must also be good partners with the entire West Coast Corridor, and especially with our local counties and cities.

This newsletter is the first of several that will recap the 2025 Legislative Session, with this week's focus on Transportation and Caucus wins. I wish you all a Happy and Healthy 4th of July.

I love sitting next to my district neighbor, Rep. Sosa, on the House Floor!

STILL WORK TO DO AFTER SINE DIE

The 2025 Legislative Session formally came to a close late Friday night, and we achieved significant wins that I highlight below; however, my focus is on the work that remains unfinished. There is the obvious task - the Transportation Reinvestment Package did not receive a Floor vote in either Chamber - as well as nuanced work regarding education funding and newborn screening that will occupy much of my time during this Interim. 

Despite a challenging federal landscape and a less-than-ideal revenue forecast in May, we passed big policies that will benefit all Oregonians. You can read more about these in the "Caucus Priorities" section below, but I would like to start with the difficult conversation — Transportation.

So what happened to the Transportation Package? Readers of my newsletter, those who've attended one of my town halls in the past three years, people who've met with me recently, or anyone who generally consumes news regularly will be aware that passing the Transportation Reinvestment Package was a central 2025 Legislative Session goal for the Democratic Caucus, and for me personally. The Transportation Reinvestment Package was not just a bill with some ideas we liked that we hoped would pass, but a critical and necessary retooling of how we fund our transportation system. It was an opportunity to generate the revenue necessary to continue providing essential services to Oregonians.

Transportation policy is closely interlinked with every other major policy, significantly impacting the quality of our lives in ways we can’t even imagine. It fuels both economic prosperity and social equity. It is the most foundational of the public services we provide, and Oregon has underfunded it for decades. However, the current reality is that ODOT and transportation systems nationwide are struggling financially, and if no action is taken, the agency will no longer be able to maintain even some basic services. 

Because the Legislature did not raise more revenue, ODOT has only enough funding to maintain state highway levels at roughly the 2021 level. Without additional revenue or revenue reform through legislative action, ODOT is now forced to cut 1,000 jobs, including 600 current positions. Statewide, nearly 5,000 county road miles and 2,355 county bridges are in poor or fair condition. Without new funding, basic maintenance, plowing, and other core functions will be pared back, and 17 ODOT Service Stations across the state will close.

As the Legislators elected to govern, we were responsible for ensuring that ODOT has stable, sufficient, and diversified funding mechanisms that allow the agency to meet the needs of our multimodal system and all Oregonians. It was a tough job to be sure. Nobody likes to raise revenue, but when we take our transportation system for granted, when we choose not to invest in safety, maintenance, and preservation, or make the necessary adaptations for a changing world, we fail to serve the public good.

We have work to do to ensure the safety and functionality of our multimodal system, and we either need to complete our task during a special session or in the 2026 Short Session. We can’t afford to kick the can down the road. If we delay, backlogs will grow more expensive, and the risks to public safety and economic stability will only increase.

A LOOK AT CAUCUS PRIORITIES

In the 2025 Legislative Session, which officially ended last night in Salem, House Democrats fought to bring down the cost of living, demanded fairness for workers and consumers, and protected basic rights and freedoms despite threats of federal intrusion and overreach by the Trump Administration. Below are just some of the highlights.

Floor time with peers!

Fighting for an Affordable Oregon:

Amid rising inflation, Oregon House and Senate Democrats spent the 2025 session fighting
to lower the cost of living and protect workers and consumers, taking bold steps like banning medical debt from credit reports to help Oregonians keep more of what they earn.

To ease pressure on family budgets, Oregon Democrats:

• Outlawed surprise fees in prices online (SB 430, HB 3167)
• Stopped massive energy users, like data centers, from shifting electrical costs to consumers like you (HB 3546)
• Widened access to consumer assistance services at utilities (HB 3156)
• Required utility companies to slow down their rate hikes (HB 3179), and show good
  performance along with any rate increases (SB 688)
• Prevented predatory practices from car dealers attempting to change interest rates after the car has left the lot (HB 3178)
• Supported low-income Oregonians struggling to pay their utility and broadband bills (HB 3792, HB 3148)

To lower housing costs, Oregon Democrats:

• Stabilized rent in mobile home parks at 6 percent a year (HB 3054)
• Strengthened protections for renters to get deposits back (HB 3521)
• Established a permanent statewide shelter program (HB 3644)
• Made it easier for developers to increase the housing supply, the key to improving
  housing affordability for everyone (SB 974, HB 3144, HB 2138, HB 2258)
• Established a Senior Housing Development Initiative worth $24m for affordable housing for low-income seniors and people with disabilities (HB 3589)

To make health care accessible, Oregon Democrats:

• Put patients over profits while making sure doctors remain in charge of medical decisions (SB 951)
• Removed medical debt from credit reports (SB 605)
• While the federal government slashes Medicaid, we strengthened the Oregon Health Plan serving 1.4m Oregonians (HB 2010)
• Lowered costs with first-in-the-nation policy preventing big pharma from withholding funds from federally qualified health centers and hospitals (HB 2385)
• Protected Oregonians from predatory billing practices (HB 3243)
• Delayed evictions for Medicaid families with babies and prioritizes housing for homeless infants (SB 690)
• Required health insurers cover menopause treatment (HB 3064) 

Making Government Work:

Oregonians deserve a government that delivers on core functions—like quality education, safe transportation, and strong mental health services—and through legislative oversight, we’re committed to ensuring public funds are used effectively to improve lives and deliver real results.

To keep our communities growing and thriving, Oregon Democrats:

• Streamlined housing production to increase the supply of homes (SB 974)
• Advanced the Dignity in Place Act, which will expedite the removal of offensive names of waterways, valleys, roads, and more (HB 3532)
• Expanded locations where family and child care centers can be located (HB 3560)
  Allowed homeowners to evict squatters (HB 3522)

To maintain justice, Oregon Democrats:

• Cleared old fines related to the possession of marijuana (HB 3825)
• Prevented age discrimination in the workplace (HB 3187)
• Prohibited telemarketers from texting and calling you 24/7 (HB 3865)
• Made historic investments in the public defense system to ensure that everyone who needs a defense attorney has one, regardless of their ability to pay (HB 5031)

To improve education outcomes, Oregon Democrats:

• Added new accountability measures to Oregon schools to improve student success (SB 141)
• Invested $70 million in stable, ongoing summer learning programs across the state (HB 2007)
• Directed an investigation into one of the state’s most pervasive education challenges: chronic absenteeism (HB 3199)
• Dedicated $11.4 billion in school funding, the largest investment in state history (SB 5516)
• Invested in early literacy programs to set students up for a lifetime of academic success (HB 3040)
  .

RECENT FLOOR VOTES OF NOTE

The last few weeks of the session were a whirlwind, but I didn't want to miss an opportunity to highlight some great bills that passed on the House Floor towards the end. ↓

Housing

• ✅HB 2138 - Expands Middle Housing - HB 2138 helps address the housing crisis by expanding and streamlining middle housing requirements. It ensures
  that housing development is not held back by unnecessary regulations and creates
  incentives for affordable and accessible homeownership. 
• ✅HB 2258 - Housing Development Efficiency - HB 2258 also supports housing production by allowing the Land Conservation and Development Commission to require local governments to approve certain land use applications for residential developments. It increases the density and types of housing that can be built and eases the development process.

Consumer Protections

• ✅HB 3179 - FAIR Energy Act - HB 3179 would reform the rate-setting process in various ways to prioritize the interests of Oregon consumers. The bill is designed to lower utility bills by requiring the Public Utility Commission to thoroughly consider the impact on consumers before approving a rate increase, while also prohibiting rate increases during the winter months (November 1 - March 31).
• ✅HB 3525 - Drinking Water Safety Transparency- HB 3525 is a renter right-to-know bill that ensures families renting homes in groundwater contamination zones are
  informed about the safety of their drinking water. The bill requires landlords in state-designated Groundwater Management Areas (GWMAs) to test well water for dangerous contaminants such as arsenic, E. coli, and lead. If contaminants exceed federal limits, annual testing is required; otherwise, testing occurs every four years.

Economic Development

• ✅SB 110 - Major League Baseball - SB 110 passed 46-6, authorizing $800 million in bonds to help fund the construction of a professional baseball stadium in Portland. This funding will only be available if Portland is selected as a Major League Baseball expansion city. Instead of pulling from current state revenue, the bill would direct repayment of these bonds through income taxes on players and staff.

Education 

• ✅HB 3199 - Improve Student Attendance - HB 3199 is a bipartisan bill to address chronic absenteeism in Oregon schools. Developed through a 10-month workgroup with input from educators, administrators, school board members, and community stakeholders, it represents a unified, research-based strategy to address one of Oregon’s most pressing educational challenges. HB 3199 aims to standardize attendance data, improve family outreach, support early intervention efforts, and provide school districts with the tools needed to help students stay connected.

• ✅HB 3365 - Climate Change Curriculum - HB 3365 repassed with Senate Amendments this week to expand climate change education in Oregon schools. The bill requires the State Board of Education to ensure that academic content standards for science, health, history, geography, economics, and civics include sufficient instruction on the causes and effects of climate change and strategies for responding.
• ✅HB 5037 - Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC) - HB 5037 funds the agency that licenses educators, maintains and enforces professional standards for educators, and approves educator preparation programs in Oregon. There is currently a backlog of investigations into complaints of educator misconduct, and this bill establishes nine permanent positions address these complaints.

Public Safety

• ✅SB 243 - Community Safety Gun Bill - SB 243 prohibits the sale and possession of rapid-fire activators in Oregon and authorizes local governments to determine if firearms are permitted inside official meeting locations. Rapid-fire activators effectively turn semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic weapons, which have been banned in Oregon and across the United States for decades.
• ✅HB 5012 - Judicial Department Budget - HB 5012 provides major investments in the Oregon Judicial Department with funding for court interpreters, positions for
  the unrepresented defendant/persons crisis, funding for courthouse security, positions, training judges and court staff, and circuit court replacement planning and construction. 
• ✅HB 5031 - Public Defense Commission Budget - HB 5031 is the budget bill for the Public Defense Commission, which maintains a public defense system consistent with the Oregon Constitution and the United States Constitution. This provides funding to reflect the April 2025 public defense caseload forecast and to continue to address the unrepresented defendant crisis.

I-5 BRIDGE EDITION OF MYTH VS. FACT

Myth: 

Shovels will never get into the ground to replace the bridge.

Fact: 

Progress continues every day to accomplish the variety of steps required in order to reach construction — which is currently anticipated to start in 2026. Over the past four years, the Interstate Bridge Replacement (IBR) Program has built momentum toward a safer, more earthquake-resilient, multimodal bridge that will serve our region for the next century and beyond. This includes major milestones such as gaining consensus among eight local partners for a Modified Locally Preferred Alternative that best serves the region, securing $2.1 billion in highly competitive federal grants, $2 billion in state funding commitments as well as tolling authorization from Oregon and Washington, and advancing through the federal environmental review requirements. The Program completed a key federal requirement last year — publishing the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) and collecting feedback during a 60-day public comment period. The Program is now working on the Final SEIS in order to receive an amended Record of Decision (ROD), which are essential steps to secure the necessary permits and approvals to move to construction. At the same time, design work is progressing, and contract packages are being developed in a way to encourage competitive bidding. Every part of these efforts moves us closer to getting shovels in the ground to deliver a replacement bridge and transportation improvements that enhance safety, reliability and the daily travel experience for all users to support long-term growth across our region. 

BIENESTAR SERVES WASHINGTON CO.

Today, I would like to shout out the amazing work of Bienestar, an organization working to build housing, hope, and community by connecting families with the resources they need to thrive. Here are a few recent highlights of their work:

• Resident Resource Fair: a summer event to empower community members with critical information. Informative booths shared information about renters insurance, Know Your Rights, opening savings and checking accounts, and accessing vaccines and immunizations in Washington County families. The fair also emphasized summer safety for farmworker families and distributed free fans!
• Digital Skills for Life class: a foundational computer class designed to help residents gain essential digital literacy skills. Students learned essential digital safety and  Ten residents will proudly receive their diplomas of completion on June 10th, a milestone that marks just the beginning! We’re excited to share that two more classes are already on the horizon: an intermediate-level course starting June 17th for those continuing their digital journey and a new basics class beginning June 19th to welcome even more learners from our community. 

MEDICAID CUTS HURT OREGONIANS

I am deeply concerned by the U.S. Senate’s new rushed and reckless proposed Medicaid cuts. They are even worse than the House’s — and they’ll cost lives. New research from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office has projected that if this bill becomes law, 11.8 million more Americans will become uninsured by 2034.

Nearly 1 in 3 Oregonians rely on the Oregon Health Plan, including 70% of rural kids. This bill would terminate care for people with pre-existing conditions, seniors, veterans, children, working families, and small business owners. It kicks thousands off coverage to fund tax breaks for the wealthy, while doing nothing to lower skyrocketing health care costs. In Oregon, we are proud that we’ve expanded coverage to more people. We should be building on that success — not tearing it down. We need care, not cuts.

I STAND AGAINST POLITICAL VIOLENCE

The horrific acts of political violence in Minnesota have weighed on my heart in recent weeks. My prayers are with the loved ones and community of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, as well as State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette. We must reject any normalization of violence, extremism, or fear in our democracy.

2025 SESSION RECAP

This Session—and the months leading up to it—were busy, meaningful, and full of conversations with Oregonians about the issues impacting our lives. I typically share a snapshot of my weekly meetings and events, and today, I would like to take time to reflect on this Session's community engagement.

Transportation

We spent the past year in pursuit of a safe, resilient, multimodal transportation system that serves all Oregonians. Our work on this critical issue continues. This year, my conversations with stakeholders and communities included: 

• A thirteen-stop Transportation Safety and Sustainability Outreach Tour that covered every region of the state, from the Oregon Coast to the High Desert, the Portland Metro area to Southern and Eastern Oregon
• Over 50 hours of workgroup meetings on 1) Back-to-Basics Maintenance and Preservation, 2) Public and Active Transit, and 3) Finishing 2017 Priority Commitments
• Six months of public informational meetings, hearings, and work sessions with the Joint Transportation Committee and the Joint Transportation Reinvestment Committee
• 800+ individual meetings with anyone and everyone who was willing to engage in discussions on how we can prioritize and sustain our transportation system

I would like to thank all of the partners who came to the table and helped shape the foundation of our transportation work:

• Jurisdictional partners around the state: Cities, counties, and regional partners who shared their local perspectives and needs
• System designers and builders:  Emphasized the importance of finishing ongoing project commitments and starting with a strong foundation 
• The workers of the system: Dedicated public servants in every community in Oregon who provide emergency response, clear inclement weather and wildfire debris, and maintain the roads in all parts of the state
• The users of the system: The drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians, and transit users who rely on a well-maintained, multimodal system
• The Safety advocates: Community advocates and families who are raising awareness about the rising pedestrian deaths on our streets and work tirelessly to ensure our transportation system is safe for all Oregonians
• The Environmental advocates: Oregonians of all generations fighting for a green and sustainable system, now and into the future

Education

As a member of the Joint Ways and Means Subcommittee on Education, I continued to engage in the ongoing work of supporting our students, families, and educators. I enjoyed meeting regularly with key education leaders, including:

• Oregon Department of Education
• Governor Tina Kotek's office 
• Oregon Department of Early Learning and Care
• Higher Education Coordinating Commission
• Educator Advancement Council
• Teacher Standards and Practices Commission

Thank you to our state agencies and education leadership for their tireless work to improve outcomes and experiences for every Oregon child.

I appreciated the opportunity to consider a wide range of perspectives on education policy, and I engaged throughout the Session with:

• Oregon Education Association
• Confederation of School Administrators
• Oregon School Employees Association
• Oregon School Boards Association

Thank you to the educators, employees, and leaders who serve our students and lend their voices to improve education policymaking.

Our institutions of higher education met regularly with my office to emphasize the important role of our public colleges and universities, as well as our regional and technical universities. 

Thank you to the students, faculty, and staff from across the state who advocated for adequate funding and resources. 

It was always a pleasure to connect directly with K-12 students to hear about their classroom experiences. Students from Forest Grove, Cornelius, and Hillsboro visited Salem and spoke about meaningful programs and resources in their schools. I particularly enjoyed partnering with the Multnomah Youth Commission on the issue of school start times to support youth health and wellness. 

Thank you to every student who took time out of their busy schedules to lift up youth voices and share the needs of their peers with lawmakers.

Social & Environmental Justice

Community members and organizations from around Oregon met with my office to highlight the opportunities and challenges facing our state. We spoke about housing and homelessness, racial and economic justice, immigrant community needs, gun tragedy prevention, worker protections, gender and LGBTQIA+ equity, behavioral health and healthcare, climate action and more.

Thank you to all those who shared their lived experiences with these issues and advocated for policies that promote thriving, equitable communities.

Community Events

While I spent most of my days in Salem over the last six months, I was glad to come home and take part in some inspiring community events.

Hillsboro Education Association Town Hall

In April, I connected with over 375 families and educators at the Hillsboro Education Association's town hall. I heard directly from teachers, staff, students, and parents about the opportunities and challenges facing our schools. Listening to our community was a powerful reminder of the need for critical investments in our education system.

As a former teacher of 42 years, I first came to the State Legislature to advocate for Oregon schools. Ensuring our education system is robust, high-quality, and equitable will always be my highest priority. 

Centro Mercado Grand Opening

In May, I was proud to speak at Centro Mercado Grand Opening Ceremony in Cornelius alongside Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici and Executive Director Maria Caballero Rubio.

In 2021, legislators were granted funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) for local community improvement projects, and I both Centro Cultural’s Mercado project to receive $660,000 of these ARPA funds. 

Centro used the funds to purchase a building in Downtown Cornelius to expand their food pantry program to a new and dedicated location. The new Centro Mercado is at 1216 Baseline Street, a block away from Centro Cultural. It now houses a storefront grocery-style food pantry that allows community members to select their food with dignity and respect.

I am grateful to Centro Cultural for their 50+ years of service to empower and uplift our community. I know this space will be an incredible resource for Western Washington County.

Forest Grove and Hillsboro Town Halls

On January 25th and 29th, I heard from over 100 total attendees at town halls, where we spoke about education, transportation, agriculture, technology, and more! I appreciated thoughtful comments and curiosity from constituents across Washington County, who shared their hopes, concerns, and feedback for legislators as we begin the 2025 Regular Session. It was a pleasure to have these discussions with Rep. Sosa and Sen. Sollman at our joint event. 

You can view a recording of the Town Hall here.

PET SAFETY THIS 4TH OF JULY

Did you know more pets go missing over the Fourth of July weekend than at any other time of year?

Fireworks, picnics, and other Fourth of July traditions can be great fun for people. But all of the festivities can be frightening and even dangerous for animals. Noisy fireworks and other celebrations can startle animals and cause them to run away; holiday foods can be unhealthy; summer heat and travel can be dangerous; and potentially dangerous debris can end up lying on the ground where animals can eat or play with it.

Whether or not you're planning your own Independence Day celebration, it's important to take precautions to keep animals safe both during and after Fourth of July festivities.

Preparing in advance:

• Make sure your pets—cats and dogs alike—have identification tags with up-to-date information. If you have horses, you might consider marking a safety (breakaway) halter with your contact information and leaving it on your horse during this stressful time.
• Take a current photo of all of your cats, dogs and horses—just in case.
• If your pet has historically been anxious on this holiday, or if you have reason to expect potentially harmful reactions, consider behavioral therapy to desensitize your pet and reduce the risk of problems. Some pets may need medication. Consult your veterinarian or a veterinary behaviorist.
• Make sure the environment is safe and secure. If your neighbors set off fireworks at an unexpected time, is your yard secure enough to keep your pet contained? Are pasture fences secure enough to keep horses or other livestock confined? Evaluate your options, and choose the safest area for your animals. Make improvements if needed to make the area more secure.

Safety during July 4 celebrations:

• Leave your pets at home when you go to parties, fireworks displays, parades and other gatherings. Loud fireworks, unfamiliar places and crowds can all be very frightening to pets, and there's great risk of pets becoming spooked and running away.
• Consider putting your pets in a safe, escape-proof room or crate during parties and fireworks.
• Keep horses and livestock in safely fenced areas and as far from the excitement and noise as possible.
• If you're hosting guests, ask them to help keep an eye on your pets to make sure they don’t escape. Placing notes on exit doors and gates can help both you and your guests remain vigilant.
• Keep your pets inside if you or your neighbors are setting off fireworks.
• Keep sparklers, glow sticks, fireworks, charcoal and kabob skewers away from curious pets.
• Don't let pets get near your barbecue grill while it is in use or still hot.
• Avoid the urge to feed your pets table scraps or other foods intended for people. Be especially careful to keep them away from these common foods that are actually toxic.
• Remember that too much sun and heat (and humidity!) can be dangerous to pets. Keep them inside when it's extremely hot/humid, and make sure they have access to shady spots and plenty of water when outdoors. Don't leave pets outside for extended periods in hot weather. And know the signs that a pet may be overheating.
• Never leave your pet in your car when it's warm outside. Vehicle interiors heat up much faster than the air around them, and even a short time in a locked car can be dangerous to pets.
• If you're travelling out of town for the holiday, consider leaving your pets at home with a pet sitter or boarding them in a kennel. If you need to bring them with you, be sure you know how to keep them safe.
• Follow safe food handling and hygiene practices to protect your family and guests.

After the celebrations:

• Check your yard for fireworks debris before allowing pets outside to play or relax. Even if you didn't set off fireworks yourself, debris can make its way into your yard, where curious animals may pick it up to play with or eat.
• Check your pastures and remove debris to protect horses and livestock.
• If you hosted guests, check both your yard and home for food scraps or other debris that might be dangerous to pets, such as food skewers.
