Janelle Bynum’s Political Theatre Put Oregonians at Risk

March 12, 2025

In a desperate attempt to score political points, Janelle Bynum brought a federal worker to President Trump’s Joint Address to Congress. 

But last night, Bynum’s political theatre didn’t last long, as she voted to shut down the federal government — turning her back on the same federal workers she claims to defend.

“Out-of-touch Janelle Bynum made a big deal about grandstanding with federal workers to score cheap political points, but then turned her back on the same federal workers she claims to defend. The people of Oregon will not forget this self-serving theatre that put American workers at risk.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
