On Tuesday, September 19, I will be hosting a community town hall at 6:00pm, located at Indy Commons in Independence. Please join me to learn about the issues I am working on and share your feedback about issues that are important to you. I hope to see you there!

I hope you will join me and Rep Tom Andersen at our Town Hall next Thursday, January 25 from 5:00 - 6:00pm at Loucks Auditorium at the Salem Public Library. We will share our goals for the 2024 Legislative Session and hope to hear from you as well.

No one should suffer because they can't afford basic, life-saving medication. Today, the Oregon Senate passed SB 1508 to help Oregonians get the care they need, regardless of their health or disability status. #orpol #orleg oregonlegislature.gov/patterson/Docu…

Life saving medications must be affordable. People with disabilities and chronic illnesses should have equal access to needed treatment. Glad to see this bill pass in the Senate this week.

The political violence aimed at former President Trump today was a travesty, which could have cost his life and did cost other lives. We must work together for civil discourse across our land. We have much more in common than that which divides us.

Thank you for your leadership and service, President Biden.

Please join Rep Tom Andersen and me for our upcoming legislative town hall on Saturday, September 7. We will be in Loucks Auditorium at Salem Public Library from 2:00 - 4:00pm and hope to hear from you about the issues that matter to people in our community.
