Episode description

Democratic Representative Maxine Dexter has begun her first term on Capitol Hill, representing Oregon's 3rd Congressional District. Earl Blumenauer, who represented the region for nearly 30 years, has now joined the faculty at Portland State University. In the first two weeks of her term, Dexter has already voted on bills about immigration and transgender student athletes, and she has been assigned to serve on the House Natural Resources and Veterans Affairs Committees.  Dexter joins us from Washington D.C. to talk about how she’ll work toward her health care and environmental priorities, one day after President Donald Trump was inaugurated to his second term.
