Washington, DC – Today, U.S. Representative Val Hoyle (OR-04) shared the following statement on Congressman Blumenauer’s Retirement Announcement:
“Congressman Earl Blumenauer has modeled what it means to be a tireless public servant and civic leader for Oregon. From his early days as a student activist to his pivotal role as one of Oregon's youngest legislators and throughout his time representing Oregon in Congress, his commitment to investment in and expansion of bike and pedestrian transportation infrastructure, protecting animal welfare and advocacy for our tribal nations stands out. He has fought tirelessly for cannabis legalization and access to banking, and we will continue that fight. Earl has been an unwavering voice for reason, breaking through many partisan divides. He has always been an innovator and visionary leader and his dedication to Oregon runs deep. I will miss having him as a colleague.” said Congresswoman Val Hoyle.
