After running on reducing the federal spending and the deficit, House Republicans have put forward a budget busting bill that will take healthcare away from millions of Americans and food away from hungry people—all so they can give massive tax breaks to their billionaire buddies.

I had prepared questions about Alaska, but I guess I want you to talk more about what your needs are in a delicate way so we are not announcing it to all of our adversaries, but tell us how we can help you.

Unfortunately, the proposed Fiscal Year 2025 budget cuts to ocean research could have real impacts on NOAA's work in Oregon for ocean health.

The entire Oregon Delegation, Democrats and Republicans, have made it very clear and signed letters to say that we want the WOOP to remain in place.

I want to be abundantly clear. Representative Bentz and I share Roseburg as a district... It is vitally important that that stay in the WOOP.

I think the first part is also that we have difficulty recruiting CDL drivers everywhere, but in rural communities, where they are driving buses and they are driving trucks, it is really difficult because the infrastructure is crumbling.

We have an extreme backlog of infrastructure investments.
