When drug violence threatened her inner city neighborhood in Washington, DC, Janelle put that ideal into practice. She earned scholarships and put herself through school, earning her Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and her Master’s degree in Business Administration.Today, Janelle and her husband, Mark, live in Happy Valley with their children. Janelle operates her family’s small business, running four restaurants in our community. In her restaurants, Janelle continues to embody those ideals taught to her early in life, mentoring her employees, providing scholarships to continue their education and encouraging them to dream big.Janelle’s work has always been about reaching out and helping people get ahead, serving as our State Representative, and now running for Congress – she’s doing just that.<img src="https://run.imgix.net/4c2cbb19-d2cb-4807-9117-98006069fc98/220bc3d4-6f8c-4763-8166-096a0ad33e37/220bc3d4-6f8c-4763-8166-096a0ad33e37.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C620%2C363&amp;w=1500" caption="" align="right" alignwidth="35" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">Janelle’s been working hard for us – lowering the cost of prescription drugs, protecting women’s reproductive freedom, protecting LGBTQ+ rights, building more affordable housing and addressing homelessness, taking on the climate crisis and finding pathways for all of our young people to get ahead – whether they’re pursuing a four-year degree or degree in career and technical education.&nbsp; Janelle’s not afraid to stand up to anyone to ensure Oregonians get ahead.&nbsp;

Janelle Bynum is an Oregon state legislator and common-sense, pragmatic leader with a proven track record of delivering results. A small business owner, engineer, and mom of four, Janelle will demand for Oregon’s voices to be at the table where decisions are made and foster bipartisan partnerships to pay opportunity forward.

<h3>Fighting for Our Community</h3>These are some of the top issues our campaign is focused on. Learn more about our issues <a href="/issues" target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">here</a>.

ON THE ISSUES

Too many Oregonians are priced out of their communities or unable to afford a home. That’s why in the state legislature, I worked on efforts to lower the cost of housing, protect tenants, and ensure low-income earners could pay their utility bills. I’ll continue to fight for housing affordability and remove red tape for housing construction in Congress.

Write a short blurb about an issue your campaign is highlighting. Try to keep the text a similar size between the various issue blurbs.

ADDRESSING HOUSING AFFORDABILITY&nbsp;

Homelessness is one of the greatest social and economic challenges of our lifetime, and it’s critical we get people off our streets. As a legislator, I helped pass measures to prevent homelessness, increase shelter capacity, and expand mental health services. In Congress, I’ll work with local and state leaders to allocate more resources to address homelessness for our communities.

ENDING HOMELESSNESS

The effects of climate change are felt close to home with brutal summers and the threat of wildfires year-round. I’m not waiting to get to Washington to tackle the climate crisis — we’re already part of the solution in the state legislature, sponsoring legislation to make Oregon the clean energy hub in the country. I’ll expand upon this work on the federal level, reducing our carbon footprint and creating good-paying union jobs.

TAKING CLIMATE ACTION

Our country doesn’t thrive unless our local economies thrive, and that means creating good jobs close to home, supporting small businesses, and bringing down the cost of living. These are issues I’ve championed as the chairwoman of the House Committee on Small Business/Economic Development and co-chair of the Joint Committee on Semiconductors, exploring ways we can expand our workforce in the tech industry. I led on passing the Oregon CHIPS Act, the most pro-business, pro-worker, pro-Oregon collaboration in history. I’ll bring the same vision to Congress.

SUPPORTING OUR ECONOMY

No person should be a medical emergency away from bankruptcy, but sadly that happens all too often in our country. In the Oregon state legislature, I worked to expand access to health care and mental health services so everyday Oregonians don’t have to choose between putting food on the table or a trip to the hospital. We need Congress to act — and that starts with protecting Medicare, expanding Medicaid, and lowering the cost of prescription drug prices.

LOWERING THE COST OF HEALTH CARE

As a mom, I want our daughters and sons to have the same rights, but Republican extremists like Lori Chavez-DeRemer think politicians should be able to make health care decisions for women. They won’t stop until they pass a national abortion ban. I’m running to defend reproductive rights and codify Roe v. Wade at the federal level.

PROTECTING OUR RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS

Education is our greatest equalizer — I know this firsthand as the daughter of public school teachers and mom of four children. Our education policies should focus on uplifting our students, and that includes increasing teacher pay, decreasing class sizes, and improving school resources and facilities.

Lori Chavez-DeRemer and state Rep. Janelle Bynum, her Democratic opponent, are both running as moderates, touting their bipartisan records and policymaking chops, while trying to cast each other as ineffective and extreme.Their fight for middle ground will matter not just for the district, but also for the balance of power on Capitol Hill: If both parties keep hold of all the seats they represent, Democrats only need to flip four seats from Republicans to win back the House majority. They hope this district — which President Joe Biden would have won by eight percentage points in 2020 — will be one of them[...]Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-New York) personally asked Bynum to run, and House Democrats’ campaign arm, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, took the unusual step of backing her over McLeod-Skinner in this year’s primary. The political arm of a group of 100 pragmatic House Democrats, the New Democrat Coalition Action Fund, also invested significantly to boost Bynum.“We could not afford to lose that seat again,” said Rep. Marc Veasey (D-Texas), who serves as the NDCAF’s finance chair.[...]In most competitive districts across the country, voters are evenly split between Democrats, Republicans and independents. In this district, the largest bloc of registered voters are those who describe themselves as “nonaffiliated.” Communities here have historically backed moderate candidates regardless of the party identifier next to their name, even though the state reliably elects Democrats for president and Senate.[...]But Chavez-DeRemer’s incumbency also could cut against her.Over the past two years, demands by far-right members of the GOP caucus often resulted in tough votes for moderate lawmakers such as Chavez-DeRemer, including one that would bar using federal funds to pay for a servicewoman’s abortion if she crossed state lines, which she supported.Democrats have worked to tie Chavez-DeRemer to those sorts of policies. They have emphasized comments Chavez-DeRemer made in 2022 suggesting she would support a bill that would federally ban abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detected. The congresswoman has pushed back, noting that she has not signed on to the Life of Conception Act, recently pledging to vote against any such bills, and helped influence House GOP leaders not to put any restrictive bills on the House floor for a vote.[...]Knocking on doors in Clackamas County on an unseasonably warm October morning, Bynum met two women who said they were supporting her because their top issue was reproductive rights — even though access is already protected in the state. Another woman said she was turning out to vote against “anything that the far right is trying to push that is just so against the Constitution.”Later that afternoon, several home-care workers gathered at the Service Employees International Union potluck in Portland said they have endorsed Bynum because she has reliably explained how state bills could help or hurt the union.[...]“I’ve served a purple district for eight years now, and I have always had the opinion that everyone deserved to be represented,” Bynum said in an interview. “Doesn’t mean I always agree with every particular angle, but it’s important for me to be a good lawmaker and to listen.”Bynum also must work to convince independents and moderate conservatives that a vote for Chavez-DeRemer amounts to a vote for Trump, whom Chavez-DeRemer endorsed once he became the Republican nominee.Diane Klinkenberg, an 80-year-old registered Republican who knocked on doors for Bynum, said she believes Chavez-DeRemer’s Trump endorsement means that she will vote the party line, especially if he returns to the White House.Asked whether there are many other Republicans who are willing to cross the aisle to vote against Chavez-DeRemer, Klinkenberg said she hadn’t met one yet. “I’m hoping,” she added.Cristal DeJarnac, who is the SEIU local chapter’s vice president and has been knocking on doors for Bynum, said Bynum must work to win over Democrats who still believe McLeod-Skinner would better be better able to represent rural communities than Bynum and Chavez-DeRemer, who are from the Portland suburbs.“I feel like the politicians that are running and want those votes, they need to play to them and not just play to the Portland metro area,” she said. “We all need a champion in Washington.”###

Happy Valley, OR — In case you missed it, State Representative Janelle Bynum, Democratic candidate for Oregon’s 5th Congressional District and her record-breaking campaign against Lori Chavez-DeRemer is consistently in the spotlight as one of the most competitive Congressional races this cycle.
