SB 611B must pass the Senate tomorrow and move quickly through the House this week. Oregonians are counting on #orleg to get this done. Few people can afford a 14.6% rent increase. W/out SB611B, no matter how many new homes we build, reducing new homelessness will be harder.

[Fair Shot Oregon @FairShotOR]

We need *real* action on housing, driven by people who are most impacted by Oregon’s housing crisis. It's time to pass the @StableHomesOR Homelessness Prevention Package. #orpol #orleg

[Tim Knopp @SenatorKnopp]

Happy 164th birthday, Oregon! #orpol #orleg

#InfrastructureWeek - In 2008 the @CPrineville explored a sustainable solution for wastewater treatment. The Crooked River Wetland Complex has recreational opportunities on 120 acres, educational kiosks & environmental benefits. #LeadwithInfrastructure

Day 2 of #InfrastructureWeek: In the @CityofHermiston, a $4.1 million water storage & system expansion project was funded by a partnership between the city & Umatilla Co. A loan from Infrastructure Finance Authority’s Special Public Works Fund also helped. #LeadwithInfrastructure

No Jenna's were harmed in the taking of this picture after the DEI roundtable session where I may or may not have been standing on a stage on a chair in heels. #LOCSpring2022

[Jenna Jones @JJ_TweetsPolicy]

President @BrowningTaneea asked me to close out a session for her. This was my view from the podium. I felt powerful #LOCSpring2022

[Jenna Jones @JJ_TweetsPolicy]

Getting ready to kick off the Harnessing the Power of Home Rule session. Called for a selfie with attendees. #LOCSpring2022

Ladies of the @OregonCities at #LOCSpring2022. It's a pleasure to work with these people. ❤️

[Jenna Jones @JJ_TweetsPolicy]

This was a profound moment to witness. @SenJeffMerkley was so kind and thoughtful in his response. Avana's strength and poise to speak about such a hard thing was incredibly moving. Something not captured in these photos was the standing ovation both received from the group.

[League of Oregon Cities @OregonCities]

We are grateful that the Senator took time for to speak with Avana Prokopenko from @cityofhv about her mother, who is currently trying to make her way out of Ukraine. #CCCNLC

@BrowningTaneea, @Jessicaengelke and I ran into the good senator at the airport. #serendipity

[Jenna Jones @JJ_TweetsPolicy]

We saw the senator unofficially before our meeting and then.....(see next tweet)

[League of Oregon Cities @OregonCities]

The morning started with seeing @SenJeffMerkley on his way into work.

[Jenna Jones @JJ_TweetsPolicy]

The @cityofhv youth delegates were some of my favorite humans on this trip. They are going to change the world. #TheFutureIsNow

[Jenna Jones @JJ_TweetsPolicy]

More shenanigans! Look at all these dressed up people and me chilling in a graphic tee that says "proud millennial trash" on the steps of an old building with apple windows. #random

[Jenna Jones @JJ_TweetsPolicy]

According to @BrowningTaneea and @Jessicaengelke I walk really fast. Had a fun time exploring DC with them though!

Just some cool cats tryna be cool before finding food.
