👋 I am proud to represent my constituents in South Salem. After 8yrs on Salem City Council, I took my skills to the legislature to address issues of housing and homelessness, climate, infrastructure, and public safety. Let's move Oregon forward. oregonlegislature.gov/anders…

My statement on today's senseless tragic shooting in Bush Park.
As we all should be, I am deeply saddened by today’s senseless tragic shooting in Bush Park. The loss of life and serious injuries are hard to understand. I want to share my heartfelt condolences for the families who have been directly impacted. As South Salem community members, we all share in the feelings of shock and pain. I want to thank our law enforcement partners from the City of Salem who have responded quickly and professionally to restore community safety.

Check out this post from the @SalemReporter highlighting some 2024 Salem legislative priorities. This includes my payment in-lieu of taxes bill and two other bills on which I'm a chief sponsor. salemreporter.com/2024/02/19…

This is followed by a quote from Rep Andersen stating "I am a proud chief sponsor of all three of these bills that will benefit the people of Salem"

Today, I met with representatives from AFSCME to hear their priorities for the ongoing 2024 legislative session. It is always a pleasure to be a part of the great work their organization promotes. I am committed to supporting hard working Oregonians.

ODOT announced last week that there was a breach of their data that impacted Oregonians. The breach was so large that it likely impacted you. Check your credit report and stay vigilant in monitoring your credit activity. Learn more by reviewing the below.

Now that the R Senators have come to their senses and are back doing the people’s work, the House is waiting for them to pass our legislation; so I went for a 33mi ride to the Wheatland Ferry. Great to exercise my body instead of my mind. I’ll be back in the House on Tuesday.

June 14th is Flag Day. On this day in 1777, the design for our flag was approved. The flag resembles perseverance, valor, freedom, and liberty. I have a flag on my desk on the House Floor next to our state flag. It reminds me of what I was sent here to do.

I'm frustrated at the sabotage happening by a few senators. I'm proud to be working in a bipartisan way in the House but every bill we've sent over to the Senate waits in line for senators to come back. What's happening now risks every opportunity we have to move Oregon forward.
