The Chelsea Anderson Memorial Play Station is a place where everyone can feel a sense of belonging, regardless of ability. I advocated for funding from our Capital Budget to help this special place become a reality so that all families and children have a place to play and grow.

Oregon lawmakers’ decision to contribute $1B to the I-5 bridge replacement will usher us into the final steps of making our goals reality. We are forever grateful for your partnership and teamwork. Now, let’s get this finished. #WALeg columbian.com/news/2023/aug/…
