A bill sponsored by OLCS alumni @RobNosse ,@IamTravisNelson , and @DebPattersonOR has reached a historic agreement on nurse staffing ratios. These electeds, the @OregonNurses, and @seiu49 know that better ratios mean better patient care. #orpol #orleg

Apprenticeships are an innovative solution to the behavioral health crisis facing OR. Working w/ employers like @cccportland, we're bringing the apprenticeship model historically focused on the trades, to the behavioral health sector. https://t.co/pw9NMUdOqF #ORPOL #ORLEG

We need leaders in elected office who will stand strong with workers, not celebrate at their expense.
