## Resource

Congresswoman Janelle Bynum, Oregon’s first Black member of Congress and a businesswoman turned lawmaker, is defending her newly flipped purple district with a bold agenda. Celebrating the one-year anniversary of her landmark “Big Beautiful Bill,” she’s spotlighting her policy wins while connecting with voters as a mom and engineer. With Republicans eyeing a tight hold on Congress, Bynum’s race in this critical swing district could shape the national landscape — and she’s making every message count.
