One year ago, @POTUS signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. This historic legislation makes a $5B investment to rebuild highways, improve public transit options, protect against wildfires, support the expansion of EV, and will bring #OR05 projects online! #DeliveringForOregon

I am pleased to see @CMSgov approve Oregon’s Medicaid Section 1115 request! This decision will unlock new federal funding and initiatives to: ✅Expand access to coverage ✅Ensure continuous coverage for children until the age of six ✅Address social determinants of health
Today, @CMSGov approved two groundbreaking #Medicaid 1115 demonstrations in Massachusetts & Oregon. Both will expand access to quality care, improve health, and advance #healthequity. https://t.co/xGRtz9mf0A
