Susheela Jayapal

Oregon – District 3

As Multnomah County Commissioner, Susheela Jayapal fought to shut down the Zenith Oil Terminal. As a member of Congress, she’ll fight to shut down fossil fuel infrastructure around the country. 

Susheela understands the dangers of climate change are already here, because she saw a climate-caused heat dome kill over 70 of her constituents in 2023. Again, she took action, leading her county to take legal action against fossil fuel corporations for causing this heat dome. We need to elect Susheela to Congress so that she can take this fight to the most impactful scale possible.

Food & Water Action endorses Susheela Jayapal for Congress.
