The CHIPS & Science Act is bringing major investments to Oregon, but we have to ensure everyone can benefit. I led a roundtable w/ Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Barragán, Suzanne Bonamici, U.S. Commerce Dept., & local leaders about creating opportunities for Latinos in the semiconductor industry.
ATTN #OR06: It is going to be HOT this weekend! Be sure to drink lots of water & stay indoors when possible. You can call 2-1-1 or visit 211info.org to find a cooling center near you. Finally, please check NWS Portland for weather updates. Stay safe everyone!
As the first woman in a presidential cabinet, Frances Perkins helped create Social Security, establish a minimum wage, and ban child labor in America. This #LaborDay weekend, join me in supporting the effort to create a national park site in her honor. theguardian.com/us-news/articl…
Protecting your mental health at work is so important. Luckily, U.S. Department of Labor has a handy page with helpful information & resources on how to do just that. This #LaborDay & #MentalHealthMonday, I encourage you to take a look & share with a colleague. 👇 dol.gov/general/mental…
It’s officially back-to-school time in #OR06! 📚 For some, the beginning of a new school year can lead to increased mental health challenges. That's why I'm working to support our students' mental wellbeing in the classroom & beyond. Read my op-ed ⬇️ woodburnindependent.com/opinion/opinio…
Heartbroken for the students, faculty, parents & entire Winder community following the shooting today at Apalachee High School in GA. Enough is enough. I urge my Republican colleagues to join Gun Violence Prevention Task Force & pass commonsense legislation to keep our kids safe. nbcnews.to/3z2qWd9
