Leading the fight

Donald Trump and his MAGA minions rammed through their so-called "Big, Beautiful" budget. Make no mistake, it's a brutal betrayal of working families across Oregon and across America.

I fought tooth and nail to stop this dangerous bill. As the top Democrat on the Senate Budget Committee, I worked to slow it down, expose and strip out the most harmful provisions, and make it better for everyday Americans. But in the end, Republicans willingly chose billionaires over working people.

Now, as I'm running for reelection, I need your support to keep leading the fight against Trump's disastrous policies in the Senate.

Please, if you can, chip in $15 or whatever you can to help power our grassroots campaign and keep Oregon blue.

Trump's budget will have devastating consequences that are already playing out. It cuts health care and kicks millions off their insurance, guts funding for rural hospitals, nursing homes, and food assistance, and slashes clean energy investments that fight climate chaos, all to bankroll more billionaire tax breaks.

That's not a budget. That's a moral failure.

Here's what I am fighting for:

  • A future where every family can afford a roof over their head and food on the table
  • Health care as a human right, not a luxury
  • Bold investments in clean energy and living-wage jobs
  • A no-loopholes system where billionaires finally pay their fair share

I've been holding the Trump Administration accountable every step of the way, and I'll never stop fighting for all of us, but I can't do it alone. I need you on my team.

The stakes have never been higher. If you believe in a future where families thrive — not billionaires — now's the time to act. Chip in to help me fight back and win in 2026.

Onward,

Jeff
