Husband. Dad. Garage tinkerer. Thorn in the side of the privileged and powerful. U.S. Senator from Oregon. Official campaign account. Fighting for YOU. He/Him.
Trump’s recently passed budget is brutal: --Millions lose health care --Kids go hungry --Clean energy gutted --$30 trillion added to national debt All to funnel tax breaks to billionaires. I will keep fighting for working Americans at every turn.
I don't work for billionaires. I work for you. That means I'm fighting every day to protect health care, lower costs, defend democracy, safeguard vital services, and build a future where families thrive.
Corporate landlords are cashing in on renters with surprise fees, inflated penalties, and credit checks that shut people out. @MaxwellFrostFL and I introduced the End Junk Fees for Renters Act to stop the profiteering and make sure more people can find—and keep—a place to live.
Here's how you can take action in my re-election campaign to join the fight against Trump's cruel agenda: 1. Get off the couch—change starts when we show up. 2. Fiercely hold elected leaders accountable. 3. Organize w/ others to create community. When we work together, we win.
Trump's vision for America: a strongman, authoritarian state where families lose and billionaires win. My vision for America: a democracy where working families thrive and power answers to We the People.
Devastating scenes from the catastrophic flooding in the Texas Hill Country. My heart goes out to the families and communities facing unimaginable loss.
Happy Fourth of July! The promise of liberty and justice for all in America depends on people like you—willing to stand up, speak out, and do the work. I'm with you every step of the way.
Senate Republicans rammed through a budget that rips away support from working families and showers tax breaks on the rich. Families lose, billionaires win. To everyone who pushed back: we’ll never stop fighting to expand opportunity for all.
It’s vote-a-rama in the Senate—a high-stakes series of votes on amendments to Trump’s brutal budget. While Republicans push billionaire handouts, Senate Democrats are on the floor right now fighting for working families, kids, and our future. Your voices are powering our fight.
The GOP’s big, brutal budget bill will rip away your family’s shot at a better future to bankroll billionaire tax breaks. It’s robbery, plain and simple. My vote? Hell No!
When a rural hospital closes, the entire community suffers. By gutting Medicaid, the GOP’s big, brutal bill puts many rural hospitals at risk—all to bankroll tax cuts for the super-rich. It’s cruel, and it’s by design: families lose, billionaires win.
Three years ago, the MAGA Supreme Court gutted abortion rights, & the fallout is brutal: women denied lifesaving care, providers criminalized, families crossing state lines for help. Now, extremists are targeting the full range of reproductive care. I’ll fight them at every step.
Republicans want to cash in our public lands so billionaires can profit. What’s at stake isn’t just land—it’s who get access, who benefits, and who gets to enjoy these landscapes. Our public lands belong to the people, and I’ll fight like hell to keep them in public hands.
