My opponent was just endorsed by pro-AI super PAC Think Big funded by folks from OpenAI and Palantir. Unless she publicly rejects this endorsement, I, and you as voters, have to seriously consider if Hoyle is fully comfortable being in league with Trump cronies.

Today is a day of remembrance for so many of us. I have been thinking a lot about my great great grandparents today. I spent most of my morning crying for all those I have lost, especially my dad. I am grateful for the opportunity to be in community with my friends this afternoon. #MMIW #MMIP

It is sheer lunacy to oppose reigning in Trump, as we stand on the brink of another 20-year conflict in the Middle East. Congress alone can declare war, and waging wars of aggression is banned under international law. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

The establishment Dem party is looking more and more like GWBush era Republicans. What kind of Democrat opens up our forests to clear cutting? CD04 deserves representation that prioritizes people and the places we live.

Our current Congresswoman supports old growth logging. This is the result, “seeking to eliminate old-growth and wildlife protections in order to facilitate “maximum” logging capacity across nearly 2 million acres of public lands.” This affects the entirety of CD04. oregonwild.org/trump-admin-...

New VA rule determines veteran disability ratings by how medication affects disability, not by condition the veteran has. As the wife of a veteran with disabilities, I find this absolutely abhorrent. Circumnavigating Congress to make rules is not OK. www.wearethemighty.com/military-new...

Today, I released the following statement in response to the violent attack of peaceful protesters at the Eugene federal building yesterday: What we saw in Eugene was what federal officers have been trained to do. I have attended the peaceful demonstration Singing for our Lives protest many times.

I woke up horrified by what happened at the candlelight vigil in Eugene last night. As the Oregon Nurses Association held a vigil for Alex Pretti outside the Federal Building, after Mayor Kaarin, Senator James Manning, and Representative Lisa Fragala left…Flash-bangs. Tear gas. Pepper balls.

Earlier today in Eugene heavily armored ICE & CBP came out & attacked protesters near the Singing For Our Lives vigil. In this year’s primary, you can vote for the status quo or you can vote for someone who’s in the street and willing to fight.
