DELIVERING ON COMMITMENTS TO OREGON'S THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 5 (Thursday, January 8, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 5 (Thursday, January 8, 2026)] [House] [Page H229] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] DELIVERING ON COMMITMENTS TO OREGON'S THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT (Ms. DEXTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. DEXTER. Mr. Speaker, in my first year in Congress, I made a simple commitment to my district: to listen and to get things done. This week, I am proud to share that I am delivering on that commitment. I secured over $6 million in Community Project Funding for seven transformative community-led initiatives across the district in Portland, Gresham, Sandy, and Multnomah County. These investments will help prevent youth violence, modernize emergency response systems, strengthen wastewater infrastructure, expand behavioral healthcare, and protect the clean water our communities depend on. Each project came directly from local leaders working to solve urgent issues on the ground, and I fought to make sure every single one received funding. This is what government should be: responsive, collaborative, and focused on our people delivering results for them and our families. Mr. Speaker, I am proud of this progress, and I am just getting started for the people of Oregon's Third. ____________________
