Dexter Votes Against War in Iran

"The federal government should be focused on helping Oregonians afford groceries, rent, and healthcare, not buying bombs"

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Yesterday, Congresswoman Maxine Dexter, M.D. (OR-03) voted for the Khanna-Massie War Powers Resolution, legislation directing the President to terminate unauthorized hostilities against Iran.

"The federal government should be focused on helping Oregonians afford groceries, rent, and healthcare, not buying bombs for reckless, unnecessary wars," said Dexter. "The decision to go to war belongs to the American people, as exercised through their elected representatives. All week Oregonians have made their voices heard: No war in Iran. That's why I voted to end unauthorized hostilities in Iran. I won't stop fighting to put working families first in Congress."
