Statement from Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR)

Source: KVAL CBS-13

"Chaos is not leadership. Ransacking resources from Oregonians counting on federal support for local law enforcement, schools, small businesses, firefighters, veterans and more hurts each and every community I am honored to represent. My team and I are working overtime right now to hold this lawless administration accountable for trampling the Constitution and make sure that everyone depending on these funds aren’t left in the cold."

Field representatives for Senators Wyden and Merkley are requesting information about any specific programs being targeted. If your organization has received notice from a federal agency that a grant or loan is impacted, please email:

Dahna Black: Dahna_Black@merkley.senate.gov
Molly McCarthy: Molly_McCarthy@wyden.senate.gov

These senate field representatives will share the information with policy staff to track the impacts.
