Oregon Representative Janelle Bynum’s Oregon CHIPS Act is realizing tangible results in her state. As the one-year anniversary of the federal CHIPS and Science Act approaches, Bynum has led a successful effort to pass the Oregon CHIPS Act, legislation that complements the federal incentives by providing semiconductor companies with state funding. Semiconductor companies, such as Analog Devices in Beaverton, are expanding their operations in the state, further cementing Oregon’s status as a hotbed for the industry. Bynum looks to potential future proposals including workforce and technical development programs that prepare students for this competitive industry.
