FUNDING REQUESTS FOR OREGON'S FIFTH DISTRICT

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 70 (Tuesday, April 21, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 70 (Tuesday, April 21, 2026)] [House] [Page H3028] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] FUNDING REQUESTS FOR OREGON'S FIFTH DISTRICT (Ms. BYNUM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. BYNUM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight the more than $36 million in funding I have requested for Oregon's Fifth Congressional District. This money will strengthen our communities by investing in clean drinking water, education, childcare, public safety, and workforce development. In central Oregon alone, over $10 million will go toward expanding access to childcare, good-paying jobs, and wildfire preparedness. Across Oregon, these projects will make sure families, small businesses, and our children will have everything they need to survive and thrive because funding these projects builds on my work to support the next generation. The pillars of my K-30 agenda are education, jobs, and housing. These projects will unlock our ability to make progress on those key issues to set the next generation up for success. At the end of the day, Mr. Speaker, this is an investment in expanding opportunity and lowering costs for Oregonians. I will keep fighting in Congress to deliver real results back home. ____________________
