My dad passed away a couple weeks ago, and this tribute from @WashCoDems is truly wonderful. Thank you @CarlJWFisher and everyone who contributed. https://washcodems.org/2020/04/24/a-tribute-to-doug-plambeck/

In 1996, the Tualatin River flooded. My dad called the Clinton White House in an attempt to get FEMA help for people living in affordable housing whose apartments had flooded. He didn't hear back, but a couple days later he got a call from @RonWyden's office.

He'd been a senator I think for less than two weeks. The staffer said "I hear you're giving tours of the flood area." My dad said sure. He took @RonWyden to see the impacted area, esp. the affordable housing developments.

My mom always remembered how Sen. Wyden took his shoes off when he came in the house.

I don't really know what else to say on here and didn't really plan on talking about this on social media, but maybe use this thread for a story or two. @RepBonamici @BradAvakian @MarkHassOregon @TobiasRead
