Later that day, she addressed her vote against a bill concerning border security and community safety. She tweeted on January 22, 2025: "I just got off the House floor, where I voted no on a misleading bill that will do nothing to secure our borders, make our communities safer, or prevent violence against women.

She noted in her tweet: "It was a pleasure meeting with Mayor Kim Morris & city officials in #McMinnville last week. We talked about important local issues & how we can work together to address them.
