I had such a good time this Sunday partnering with Representatives @repthuytran.bsky.social and @repwillychotzen.bsky.social on the Mobile Town Hall event this Sunday! This event is always one of my favorite of the year.

ODOT needs to hear from you - do you want the agency to prioritize investments in safer streets, road maintenance and transit restoration next year? I encourage all Oregonians to take this survey: www.cognitoforms.com/ODOT2/ROTVSurv… #orleg

This week, I joined REACH CDC for a tour of Foster73, their new housing project slated to open this fall in the Foster-Powell neighborhood. I loved seeing the murals, learning about the accessible homes and the wrap around services and programming integrated into the building.

Heads up, Portland - wildfire smoke is expected to roll in to the region today and stay with us through the week. It's a good time to wear an N95 mask and limit your outdoor time, if you can. loom.ly/32thrZg

Oregonian: Wildfire smoke expected to bring unhealthy air to Portland as temperatures near 100
As some 2 million acres continue to burn in more than 30 wildfires across Oregon, forecasters predict a shift in winds will bring potentially dangerous air quality to the Portland metro area, which is already expected to see near-triple-digit temperatures throughout the week.
