BYNUM SELLS OUT OREGON: Jeopardized Veterans, Workers & Kids

September 22, 2025

Last week, out of touch Democrat Janelle Bynum voted to shut down the government and sell out Oregonians.

Her reckless vote could put Oregonians directly in harm’s way:

  • Threatening families’ safety due to law enforcement officers, members of the military, and TSA workers may be forced to work without pay.
  • Blocking 39,881 veterans from accessing critical programs, including employment assistance.
  • Forcing 4,624 federal workers in OR-05 to work without pay.
  • Jeopardizing millions in loan financing for the state’s 417,747 small businesses.
  • Limiting access to financial assistance, including disaster relief, for 13,711 farmers.
  • Endangering funding for the Head Start program that serves 3,074 children in Oregon. 

Bottom line: Janelle Bynum put a partisan stunt ahead of the livelihoods of everyday Oregonians.

“Instead of standing for Oregonians out of touch Democrat Janelle Bynum voted to bring the government to a grinding halt, holding Oregonians hostage. Oregonians  won’t forgive this betrayal.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
