State Rep, small business owner, mother of four, and Dem nominee in
#OR05
. Running to flip this seat from red-to-blue & deliver results for Oregon in Congress.
I’m working hard to deliver for families in our community. It’s what my parents taught me to do and I’m proud to continue on their legacy. Today, we’re kicking off a new era for Oregon…
I’m running to deliver real results for Oregon in Congress.
I’m honored to be your Democratic nominee in
#OR05
.
As a mother of four, I’m running to make the future brighter for them and every child across Oregon. And with your support, I know we'll bring this fight to Congress.
Onward to November!
It's that time again Oregon Twitter. We're taking up police reform in the legislature and I want to hear from you.
The House Subcommittee on Equitable Policing will be meeting weekly on Monday and Wednesday starting at 8 am.
My name is Janelle Bynum. I’m a State Rep, small business owner, mother of four, and your Democratic nominee in OR-05.
I’ve defeated Lori Chavez-DeRemer twice before, and I know I’ll do it again in November.
Help me flip
#OR05
and the House blue:
Lori Chavez-DeRemer gave Trump a full-throated endorsement, and now he's a 34-time convicted felon.
Is she going to stand up for the rule of law and Oregonians or stand by her man?
Voters deserve an answer about why Lori Chavez-DeRemer is backing convicted felon Donald Trump and why she’s spent her tenure in Congress enabling his extreme vision for America.
I look forward to debating the issues most important to Oregon voters.
It’s going to take all of us to flip this seat. Talk to your neighbors, your coworkers, and family about what’s at stake this election. Ready to hit the doors? Join us today!
The path to flipping the Democratic House Majority runs through

Now, Oregon state Rep. Janelle Bynum, a Portland-area Democrat, is seeking to ban their use against crowds in one of the most sweeping measures in the country restricting tear gas and other riot-control munitions.

We cannot normalize violence towards our neighbors exercising their First Amendment right to peacefully gather. This weekend, we saw the fatal result of irresponsible rhetoric that villainizes those exercising the right to peaceful protest for racial justice.

This election is about protecting our freedoms, lowering costs, and making our communities safer. Kamala Harris is the candidate to meet this moment and I am proud to endorse her for president.
I'll continue to work tirelessly to flip the house and move our country forward!
I’ve defeated Lori Chavez-DeRemer twice before, and with your help, I know I’ll do it a third time in November.
Help us kick the general election off strong and reclaim the Democratic House Majority:
I’m running for office to make this country a better place for my children and all Oregon children.
That means ensuring they have access to quality education, affordable housing, and good-paying jobs.
Huge news:

My name is Janelle Bynum. I’m a State Rep., small business owner, and mother of four – and I’m running for Congress to unseat extreme Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer in Oregon’s 5th District. With just 27 days to go until the primary, here’s everything you need to know: (🧵)
Actions speak louder than words Lori, and your actions in Congress have been loud and clear. You are a direct threat to women’s reproductive health care and we will vote you out this November!
HB 2932 - Directs Oregon Criminal Justice Commission to establish statewide database of reports of use of physical force by peace officers and corrections officers.

Alright, Oregon Twitter since you keep delivering with strong testimony at these hearings let's talk about the next week in the Equitable Policing Subcommittee.
On Monday, at 8am we'll wrap up testimony on 2928 (munitions ban) and 2936 (background checks).
A new poll just came out showing us with a two-point lead in the fight to represent
#OR05
in Congress!
These polls can change on a dime – especially when MAGA Republican super PACs are spending millions against us.
Will you help us stay on track to win?
Lori Chavez-DeRemer is nothing but a Trump-loving, MAGA extremist.
This November, we’re in for the fight of our lives to defeat not just Donald Trump, but also his enabler in
#OR05

U.S. Rep.
@LChavezDeRemer
, R-Oregon, is throwing her support behind Donald Trump now that he’s the likely Republican nominee for president.

I’m running for Congress because Trump’s abortion bans are a threat to women’s lives—plain and simple.
I have two daughters, and their ability to make choices about their futures shouldn’t depend on whether a state protects reproductive care.
A new poll just came in that shows our campaign is in the lead by only one point. This race is a dead heat and it’s going to come down to the wire.
Will you chip in today to help us build on this momentum, flip

As a mom of four kids, I worry when my family leaves the house. I won’t rest until our communities are safe.
In Salem, I brought Republicans and Democrats together to recriminalize hard drugs. In Congress, I’ll work with local law enforcement to get the resources Oregon needs.
Thank you to President Biden for your tireless work and dedication to our country. In the midst of crisis, this administration created the strongest economy in the world and lifted up the middle class.
Before Election Day tomorrow, I just wanted to say thank you for believing in this campaign and fighting for a better future for Oregon. It means the world to be in this together.
Let’s go bring this home.

My mom first encouraged me to run for office saying "If your generation doesn't stand up and fight, we stand to lose the progress my generation worked for."
She was right. 60 years ago, the Civil Rights Act was passed. Today, we must continue that fight for equality.
House Republicans have endorsed $1.5 trillion in cuts to Social Security, including raising the retirement age and cutting disability benefits.
Lori Chavez-DeRemer voted to cut access to Social Security and Medicare benefits.

No family should face bankruptcy for seeking mental health care. In Congress, I will work to ensure every Oregonian has access to the mental health services they deserve.

Donald Trump and his MAGA ally Lori Chavez-DeRemer are lined up to support a national abortion ban.
Make no mistake: Abortion is on the ballot in
#OR05
. We’re ready to stand up to protect it.
The Supreme Court made the right decision today, but the fight to safeguard abortion is far from over. Lori Chavez-DeRemer and her MAGA friends have tried and tried again to strip women of their reproductive freedoms, and if she is reelected, Chavez-DeRemer will not stop.
There is only one solution & it’s clear. We’ll never achieve true reproductive freedom until Congress codifies Roe, and we need a pro-choice majority to do it. Together, we can win in OR5 & together we can restore choice all across the country.
What a journey! From Albany to Sweet Home, over to Redmond and up to Milwaukie, our team knocked doors and heard from folks all across

NEW VIDEO: Rep. Janelle Bynum is running to represent Oregon's 5th district in the U.S. House. We spoke with her about how a 2018 racial profiling incident shaped her political career and what she thinks is the greatest threat to democracy.
Watch here:
Our new House Speaker, "MAGA Mike Johnson", led the charge for a national abortion ban, tried to overturn the 2020 election, and fought to uphold same-sex marriage bans.
Lori Chavez-DeRemer voted for him.
