We are thrilled to Support
Susheela Jayapal for Congress
Leaders across our state are supporting Susheela because they trust her as a proven progressive champion.
“Susheela Jayapal has been an outstanding progressive leader in Oregon. She has stood with working families as she advocated for workers rights, fought to strengthen support for immigrant and refugee communities, and took on big polluters. I look forward to serving with her in Congress.”
“Susheela has secured funding for long-term rental assistance, wraparound services to move people off the streets and into shelters and for building recovery centers and transitional housing for people coming out of addiction and homelessness. Susheela is a strong, effective leader.”
“Susheela Jayapal always shows up. She understood the violence that youth in our community were suffering from, so she worked alongside advocates and community members to secure federal funding for an innovative youth violence prevention program in the Cully neighborhood.”
“We can count on Susheela Jayapal to see the big picture and fearlessly fight for what our community needs. She is the leader with the demonstrated integrity Oregon needs in these difficult times.”
