CONGRESSWOMAN BONAMICI TELEPHONE TOWN HALL
Tuesday, June 22 at 6 pm

"Hearing from you is critical to my work in Congress. Please join me for a telephone town hall meeting next week on Tuesday, June 22, at 6 p.m. PT. I will discuss how the American Rescue Plan is already helping families, and I’ll explain the work I’m doing to increase access to child care, get more people into paid on-the-job training, and address the climate crisis. I will also answer questions live on the call."
-- Representative Suzanne Bonamici

ELECTION BILLS IN SALEM
CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM - If you want limits on campaign contributions, especially from corporations and large interest groups, please tell state legislators that you want them to enact two of the most promising bills, HB3343 and SB336. If these bills do not have Work Sessions and positive votes in both the House and Senate, they will die. Contact info for legislators is here.

RANKED CHOICE VOTING - Did you know New York City's mayoral election is using ranked choice voting? In Oregon there are three bills (HB2678HB2685HB2686) in the House (Introduced by Rep. Rayfield), all referred to House Rules Committee but no hearings have been scheduled on any of them.  Being in the Rules Committee means they are not likely to move. They should be considered dead.  Proponents are planning on an initiative campaign. Decision will happen after the end of the legislative session.  
Indivisibles and other constituents gathered with Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici outside the Barbey Center in Astoria on June 14, 2019. The topic: the previous guy's impeachment.
