          RECOGNIZING CONSTITUENTS OF OREGON'S THIRD DISTRICT

  (Ms. DEXTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. DEXTER. Mr. Speaker, this week, my office received our 100,000th 
message from the people of Oregon's Third District.
  This is incredible. On an average day, I receive more than 650 
messages, and that is just since being sworn in. We have got a lot to 
go.
  Here is what I am hearing:
  People in Portland are fearful. They fear for their children and 
their neighbors.
  People in Rhododendron want to see courageous leadership that 
understands the needs of working families.
  People in Gresham are working hard and are barely making ends meet. 
They want to know their families will be able to thrive.
  People throughout Oregon's Third District want immigrant neighbors to 
feel safe, housing to be affordable, the climate to be protected, 
schools to be funded, and to have universal healthcare that they can 
access.
  These messages aren't just correspondence. They are marching orders.
  I thank every Oregonian who has written. Keep the emails coming.
