The Hyde Amendment is outdated and unjust. It has stripped 8 million women on Medicaid of their reproductive freedom. I’ve joined 200+ of my Democratic colleagues in supporting the EACH Act to end the HYDE Amendment and support coverage for all.

The Trump administration cannot keep looking the other way while women's health is sidelined.

1/ Women across the country are not able to fill their estrogen patch prescriptions and aren't being given answers why. The longer we wait, the more women's long term health is threatened.

Let’s be clear: Mifepristone has been safely and legally used for 26 years. Healthcare decisions should remain between doctors and patients, NOT politicians and judges.

The Trump administration is clawing back progress. Every student deserves to go to school, learn, study and be free from discrimination. Today’s decision is a disservice to our students and the LGBTQ community.

The cost of this Administration’s vanity projects? Over $1.8 billion and counting. That money would go a long way to support working families.

Representative Val Hoyle @repvalhoyle.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

This Administration knows they can’t win, so they’re trying to cheat. They can’t pick and choose who gets to vote. Our democracy is strongest when every eligible voter gets to cast their ballot.

1/ We passed a bipartisan War Powers resolution in the House and Senate Republicans just blocked it. Only Congress has the authority to declare war. Not the President.

The number of fish and wildlife employees is down 40% in Oregon since 2024. Federal employees should not have to live in fear that they’ll lose their job at any moment. It’s bad for morale and it’s bad for our environment.

Your doctor should be focused on patients and getting you well, not the corporate bottom line.

We have a healthcare industrial complex that is being taken over by corporations, hedge funds and venture capital firms. That’s not who should be running our healthcare systems.

Fighting waste, fraud and abuse should not be used as a cover to kick people off of their health insurance.

Combatting invasive species often requires a rapid response. I once again asked U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Deputy Director Miko for answers on the continued administrative delays in the Federal Fish & Wildlife grants that supports this critical work for our coastline economies.

Representative Val Hoyle @repvalhoyle.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

We won't let this Administration silence the American people and sell off our public lands to the highest bidder to build a data center.

The price tag for this Administration's illegal and immoral war with Iran just keeps growing. Enough is enough. I'm joining @khanna.house.gov in supporting the Illegal War Refund Act to refund Americans and provide relief from the economic burdens of this Administration's broken promises.

The Constitution begins with “We the People” for a reason: our government is meant to serve the people. Today, we celebrate the rights and freedoms protected by our Constitution and the responsibility we all have to defend them. Democracy works best when the American people have a voice.

Representative Val Hoyle @repvalhoyle.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I was proud to stand alongside doctors, advocates and my colleagues yesterday to introduce the Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act. Healthcare shouldn’t be a line item on a spreadsheet.

Representative Val Hoyle @repvalhoyle.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Proud to be working with the men and women of @aflcio.org to put clear guardrails in place and give workers a seat at the table. The American people are demanding action. We cannot sit on our hands, punt this work into the future and let big tech corporations dictate the rules.

What did we think was going to happen? This Administration has been focused on tariffs and ballrooms, anything except lowering costs.

Our healthcare systems should serve the best interests of patients. That’s why I introduced the Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act with @ocasio-cortez.house.gov and @repsuhas.bsky.social to ensure proper protections are in place, so that corporations can't take over local clinics.

Representative Val Hoyle @repvalhoyle.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Give me a break, this isn't about promoting public health. They want to restrict access to reproductive healthcare and intimidate women. This isn't just wrong, it's dangerous.

1/ Your voice matters, and your vote is one of the most important ways to use it. This National Voter Registration Day, check your registration, help a friend or family member register and make a plan to vote this November. Our democracy depends on it.
