Ron Wyden is the senior Senator from Oregon. As the Top Democrat on the powerful Senate Finance Committee, with jurisdiction over trade, health care and tax policy, Wyden is focused on lowering health care costs and working to ensure billionaires pay their fair share.
Wyden is also the longest-serving member of the Select Senate Committee on Intelligence. Through his position on Senate Intel and as Ranking Member of the Finance Committee, he has used his power to launch numerous investigations into fraud and corruption within the Trump administration, and blow the whistle on mass domestic surveillance operations.
