I’m joining @chrislhayes tonight to bring national attention to the wildfire crisis here in Oregon. It’s been a heartbreaking week, and I’m going to keep fighting for everything Oregon needs to get through this. https://t.co/IkjXPfOf16 — PolitiTweet.org

This wildfire season requires all hands on deck. After the National Guard indicated they couldn’t fund more training, I intervened to secure training for more crews. Now, two additional firefighting teams will be trained & deployed to Oregon. https://t.co/RYrRDJw3p9 — PolitiTweet.org
