Jeff Merkley: “Opening Statement of Hon. Jeff Merkley, a U.S. Senator from Oregon; Chair, Congressional-Executive Commission on China.”

You can’t wait for a disaster to happen to start preparing, and this funding finally moving forward will be transformative for disaster resiliency along the North Coast.

Every Oregon community needs the resources to keep young people safe, support children who have experienced abuse and neglect, and build stronger relationships between families and those who serve them.

To be clear: Both parties have played a role in creating Senate dysfunction, and both have a responsibility to fix it.

This is an insult to Congress and the Constitution.
