“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to tell the people of Oregon that I’m ready to deliver for them. As someone who has lived, operated businesses, and raised my four children in our community, I know that families are struggling and feel like their voice isn’t heard.
“I’m here to say that I’m listening and I’m fighting for our families. My top priorities are making sure that our kids are learning, healthy and thriving, supporting hardworking families who feel like their government has left them behind, and I’m working to bring new, good jobs back to Oregon. And I’ll work with anyone to do it.
“It’s important to me to have open communication with my constituents, so they can always contact me and get updates from me by going to my website at bynum.house.gov. I thank you for trusting me and I yield back.”
