U.S. Department of Health and Human Services abruptly cancelled research being done in Coos County to improve worker and patient safety. I'm demanding answers from Secretary Kennedy and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to understand the impacts on care at Southern Coos Hospital.

At a time when reproductive rights are under attack, I stand by Planned Parenthood and will continue to fight for healthcare access for all.

Every American deserves access to decent, affordable and safe housing.

That’s why I’m reintroducing the DASH Act, with Senator Ron Wyden and Congressman Salud Carbajal, that will tackle homelessness and the affordability crisis by expanding housing choice vouchers, low- and middle-income housing tax credits and support for renters.
