Suzanne Bonamici
Strong Leadership, Oregon Values, a Better Future

Suzanne worked her way through community college, university, and law school, so she knows what it’s like to struggle to make ends meet. She was a paralegal at Legal Aid and a consumer protection attorney. Volunteering in public schools inspired her to run for office; now she’s a national leader on the Education & Workforce Committee.

Suzanne is Building an Economy that Works for Everyone. She has:

• Delivered federal dollars to address homelessness, expand mental health care, fight addiction, and build more affordable housing in cities and rural communities.
• Passed a bipartisan infrastructure bill that’s creating jobs and bringing $5 billion to Oregon for roads, bridges, public transit, renewable energy, and broadband, including funding for the I-5 Interstate Bridge project.
• Supported universal health care and passed legislation to reduce prescription drug costs, including capping insulin at $35/month for seniors. She will always protect Medicare and Social Security.
• Delivered $52.3 million to NW Oregon this Congress, including $6.25 million to add more than 300 units of affordable housing.

Suzanne is Leading with Oregon Values. She will:

• Stand against extremism and protect democracy.
• Fight for access to abortion care, IVF, and contraception because patients, not politicians, should make these decisions.
• Champion LGBTQI+ rights, voting rights, and gun violence prevention.
• Invest in affordable child care, public education, and paid leave.
• Implement the most significant climate bill in history, which she helped pass as a leader on the Science Committee, to create good jobs in emerging industries and help us equitably transition to renewable energy.
• Support well-rounded public education, apprenticeships, debt-free higher education, and career and technical education.
