Andrea is the daughter of a Vietnam veteran and police officer who worked his way up to create a better life for his family. As a mom and a member of Congress, Andrea is driven by that same commitment: fighting for a stronger future for her daughter and all Oregonians.

Andrea is fighting for us by:

BRINGING DOWN THE COST OF LIVING - Families are struggling to make ends meet. That’s why Andrea voted to cut taxes for middle-class families and is fighting to lower grocery, gas, and housing costs. She won’t stop working to make Oregon more affordable.

CREATING SAFER COMMUNITIES - Working across the aisle, Andrea helped pass the bipartisan HALT Fentanyl Act and secured funding to get fentanyl off our streets and improve public safety. She will continue to find additional solutions to deliver treatment to those in need and make our communities safe.

PROTECTING OUR RIGHT TO ABORTION - Andrea is a fierce defender of reproductive rights. In Oregon, she helped pass the nation’s strongest reproductive rights laws, and in Congress, she is continuing to fight extreme efforts to limit access to abortion and reproductive health care.

MAKING HEALTH CARE MORE AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE - Andrea is fighting to bring down health care costs and ensure that rural communities have access to quality health care, including mental health care. She’s worked to expand Medicare, secured funding for community health centers, and lowered prescription drug prices. She also expanded access to mental health support for firefighters, rural communities, and Medicare and Medicaid recipients. She will continue to do whatever it takes to increase access to affordable, quality care.
