I stopped by the OPUDA conference in Newport to talk with the people working every day to keep Oregon’s power reliable and affordable.

Working families deserve financial security, a path to the middle class and economic opportunity. @demwomencaucus.bsky.social economic slate is full of policy that will deliver for generations to come.

The Hyde Amendment is outdated and unjust.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.

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.

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.

The President’s illegal and immoral war with Iran isn’t just unpopular, it’s expensive.

ICYMI: Last week @repsuhas.bsky.social and I introduced the Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act because we need to start putting people over profits.

I’m joining over 100 of my colleagues in demanding that no more data centers be built unless strong guardrails are developed that protect our environment, support workers, decrease energy costs and give consumers a voice in the process.

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 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.

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.

Tune in at 5pm ET for a press conference on the introduction of the Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act. Healthcare decisions must stay in the hands of physicians. 🔗 www.youtube.com/live/vyD6GKj...

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.

Got time for a reality check?

We're following the money and calling out this Administration on their rampant corruption!

Representative Val Hoyle @repvalhoyle.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
@merkley.senate.gov's Stop the Corruption Town Hall came to Springfield yesterday and our community made it clear, we're not going to let the rampant corruption in our government go unchecked. We're standing up and saying enough.

On the 25th anniversary of September 11th, we remember the thousands of lives lost and honor the sacrifices of the first responders who ran into the fire to save their fellow Americans.

September is Suicide Prevention Month. No one should have to face a mental health crisis alone. We need to expand access to mental health care and make sure people know help is available. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988. 988lifeline.org

Happy Labor Day Oregon!

Representative Val Hoyle @repvalhoyle.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
As we look at what we’ve won, we also have to acknowledge that workers’ rights are under attack. This Labor Day, let’s remember that we must keep fighting.

Representative Val Hoyle @repvalhoyle.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
Even the basics are getting more expensive. Since 2025, the price of sandwich bread has gone up 22%. When everyday essentials cost more, families feel it everywhere, especially when they’re already paying to get kids ready for a new school year.

Representative Val Hoyle @repvalhoyle.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
The miners at Blair Mountain fought so we could have the 40 hour work week, a weekend, fair wages, benefits and safe working conditions. As these hard-won rights are under attack today, we need to stand up and remember that these things are worth fighting for.

2/ I’m leading a letter with 100 of my colleagues demanding that the Surface Transportation Board fully consider what this merger could mean for workers’ jobs, rights and safety. Our railroads depend on these workers. Their rights and security should not get lost in the merger.

Representative Val Hoyle @repvalhoyle.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
1/ The proposed Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern merger would create the largest rail network in this country’s history, impacting workers across 43 states.

The Protecting Domestic Mining Act is not in the best interest of Americans or American workers. Let’s work on something better for the American people and the resources we depend on.

This wouldn’t be possible without strong federal funding and support. Go Beavs!

Please read my full statement on my vote for the continuing resolution to fund the government through December 11th.

Representative Val Hoyle @repvalhoyle.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
I voted for the continuing resolution today to keep the government funded through December 11. While this bill isn’t perfect, we cannot afford another government shutdown that will disrupt vital services the American people rely on.

It’s time for the other side of the aisle to stop playing political stunts. Get it together so we can do the real work of the American people.

After six months, over $40 billion and 19 American lives lost, the President does not have a way out of his illegal, immoral and unpopular war.

63 years ago, hundreds of thousands of Americans marched on Washington to demand equality, fair jobs and freedom. Today, the fight continues against those who want to turn back the progress we’ve made as a country. We must stand up for voting rights, equality and justice for all.

Delivering for Oregon's 4th Congressional District means bringing taxpayer dollars back into our communities. The Bay Area hospital in Coos County recieved $2 million to replace their CT scanner and cardiac catheterization lab equipment. These investments are saving lives in our communities.

Happy National Park Week!🌲 From Oregon’s coast to our forests and mountains, our national park and public lands are part of what makes this state so special. I’ll always fight to protect these places for future generations to enjoy.

#SCOTUS is allowing the Trump administration to continue to cause chaos around vote-by-mail. Oregonians know the truth, this is a proven system and we’ve been doing it for years.

I'm leading a letter demanding answers from the Forest Service Chief, following reports that an undersecretary used his position to divert resources from active fires to protect his Idaho ranch.

Representative Val Hoyle @repvalhoyle.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
A new school year means new supplies, but that shouldn't mean higher prices. The price of lunchboxes has gone up 27% since last year. I’ll keep fighting to lower costs and make it easier for Oregon families to make ends meet.

ICYMI: Last week I introduced The Affordable Pricing for Taxpayer-Funded Prescription Drugs because the American people should not have to choose between filling a prescription and paying for groceries, gas and other necessities. Here’s what some of our endorsing organizations have to say about it⬇️
