A Message from US Rep. Earl Blumenauer:
Oregon wouldn’t be the same without independent restaurants. They contribute to vibrant neighborhoods, fuel our local economies by employing thousands of people, and support a diverse supply chain of producers.
At the beginning of the
pandemic, I worked with local chefs and restaurateurs to write legislation that
will save these restaurants and support the people whose livelihoods depend on
them.
What started as a local effort
is now a national movement. Last night, the New York Times Editorial
Board published its strong support of my RESTAURANTS Act legislation.
