Hi, I know we send you a lot of emails about my campaign and what I’m working on in Congress, but today I want to email you about someone I’m especially thankful to have by my side: my husband, Mark.

Mark and I have built an incredible family and are proud to be raising our four amazing children here in Oregon. Together, we’ve watched our kids grow into talented, thoughtful people.

In addition to seeing Mark thrive as a father, I’ve also seen him excel as a business owner. We’ve worked together operating our businesses and learned how to take on new challenges and responsibilities together.

Mark’s always supported me in everything I’ve done — including running for Congress. Thanks to his support, I was one of the only Democrats in the country last year to flip a House seat blue, and I’ve been able to take our fight for Oregonians all the way to Washington.

So today, I want to wish a happy Father’s Day to Mark and to all the other father figures out there!

Thank you for all you do,

Janelle Bynum

P.S.: This email is about Mark, but if you have one more moment, I need to ask for a favor. OR-05 is one of Republicans’ top targets for 2026, so if you want to defend this swing seat, please consider making a contribution to support my re-election campaign today.
