200+ Democrats in Jacksonville tonight at Democracy & Dessert. The energy was electric. OR-02 is ready to take this seat back from an absent congressman who is nowhere to be found. We are building the momentum to win. 🔥💪

Regional universities like SOU are critical to rural economies, student access, and the future of Southern Oregon.

We keep hearing there’s no money for rural schools, clinics, or job training, but somehow there’s always money for another conflict. Oregon deserves leadership that puts working families, small towns, and our future first.

Infographic titled “Our Students, Schools, and State Can’t Afford These Cuts.” Graphic shows Oregon outline and statistics about federal student aid. It states 43 million students hold loans, 5 million receive Pell Grants, and 71 post-secondary schools in Oregon could be affected. Data highlights that most first-time students receive aid, many Pell recipients earn under 40,000 dollars, and average loans are about 12,700 dollars per year. The graphic argues cuts to the Department of Education would hurt low-income students, colleges, and workforce development, especially in Oregon.

Every cut to student aid hits rural Oregon first. Fewer nurses, fewer teachers, fewer good jobs, and more debt for working families. We should be building opportunity in our communities, not supporting policies that push our kids out of state. Oregon deserves better than Bentz.

Billions for war, but not enough for rural clinics, universities, or good jobs for our kids. Imagine putting that money into Oregon communities instead of another conflict. Working families deserve to come first. We need leadership that puts Oregon before politics.

This session showed that when we focus on working families, rural communities, and small towns, we can get real results. Investments in schools, roads, housing, and local jobs matter. Oregon deserves leadership that puts everyday people ahead of politics.

'There Are Salmon Everywhere": Klamath River Sees Remarkable Recovery Just a Year After Dam Removal Just over a year after four hydroelectric dams were removed from the Klamath River, salmon returning to nearly every corner of their historic habitat.

From the Rogue to the Klamath, salmon restoration means opportunity. It supports local economies, protects outdoor recreation, and honors the people who depend on these rivers every day. When Oregon’s waters thrive, Oregon thrives.

Shoutout to the Klamath County Democrats for organizing, supporting local candidates, and making sure rural communities are heard. From small towns to cities, we need leaders who fight for working families and represent our communities, not out of state interests.

Square campaign event graphic with dark navy blue background and centered white text. At the top is the Dawn Rasmussen for Congress logo with the outline of Oregon in gold and a mountain and trees inside the shape. Below the logo, large bold text reads “Meet & Greet Dawn Rasmussen for Congress.” Event details below read “March 17, 5:00–7:00 PM, Liquid Lounge, Ashland, Oregon.” Small text at the bottom reads “Paid for by Dawn Rasmussen for Congress.” Clean minimalist layout with no photos.

Stone monument sign reading “Southern Oregon University” at the entrance to the campus in Ashland, Oregon, surrounded by trees and landscaping with campus buildings visible in the background.

Congratulations to Rep. Pam Marsh and Sen. Jeff Golden for stepping up to protect Southern Oregon University. Rural universities train our teachers, nurses, and future leaders. This fight is about more than one campus. It is about protecting opportunity and the future of rural Oregon.
