I am relieved that we were able to avoid a shutdown and pass a bare minimum extension of the Farm Bill. At the same time, I am deeply disappointed in Speaker Johnson’s failure to pass a bipartisan deal that would have responsibly funded the government while addressing several top priorities for the American people – from prescription drug reform to addiction treatment. Instead, Speaker Johnson chose to torpedo that bipartisan agreement and send us spiraling toward a shutdown – simply because the richest man in the world told him to do it. That is not how any leader in a democracy should govern, and it shows that Republicans would rather do the bidding of their wealthy donors instead of working for the people who elected them. As the Majority Party, Republicans need to get serious and work with Democrats to pass truly bipartisan solutions when we return in January. We were sent here to do right by our constituents, not cater to the whims of billionaires. I will always put the people of Oregon’s Sixth District first, and I will work with anyone – Republican or Democrat – who shares my commitment to bringing down costs and making life better for Oregonians.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z |
