Dexter Slams Trump’s Federal Funding Freeze as a “great betrayal” of Oregonians
“This is a great betrayal of Oregonians who have planned around these programs and funding.”
PORTLAND, OR— Today, Congresswoman Maxine Dexter, M.D. (OR-03) released the following statement on Trump’s order to freeze federal funding for grants, loans, aid and more:
“Trump’s order to ‘pause’ federal assistance is brazen and illegal. But that’s nothing new. What’s cruel is the uncertainty and confusion this causes for our community.
“This is a great betrayal of Oregonians who have planned around these programs and funding. Trump’s chaos is wreaking havoc on our communities and nation by upending our ability to rely on federal programs that serve so many.
“I won’t stand for this and neither should congressional Republicans who are enabling King Trump by going along with this.”
Congresswoman Dexter’s office is here to support any person or organization impacted by this action in Oregon’s Third Congressional District. If you are experiencing a lapse in funding, please reach out at 202-225-4811.
