BYNUM’S BETRAYAL: Chose Politics Over Oregonians, Risked Public Safety

September 22, 2025

On Friday, out of touch Democrat Janelle Bynum put politics over Oregonians and voted to shut down the government. Why? It was her futile attempt to appeal to her base and block President Trump’s efforts to cut taxes, protect critical programs, and remove criminal illegal immigrants from our streets. 

“Out of touch Democrat Janelle Bynum voted to risk veterans’ care, military pay, and public safety just to appease his radical base. Oregonians won’t forgive this betrayal.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
