Dexter Invites Epstein Survivor to State of the Union in Her Place and Hosts Town Hall for Oregonians.

Congresswoman Maxine Dexter (OR-03) announced that she is inviting Lisa Phillips, a survivor of Epstein’s abuse, in her place to attend the State of the Union.

“Accountability is my north star,” said Rep. Dexter. “I’m inviting Lisa Phillips, one of the many brave women who survived Epstein’s abuse, to attend the State of the Union on my behalf. Her presence will send a clear message: Epstein survivors will not be silenced. The powerful will not be protected. Our government will be accountable to the people it serves. While Trump stands before the country and attempts to rewrite history, I will be talking with Oregonians about how we build a government that serves people, not the powerful.”

“I am deeply grateful to Representative Dexter for this honor. I sit in this seat not for myself, but for the girls who were never given a voice — and for the accountability they deserve,” said Lisa Phillips.

This month, President Trump urged the country to move on from the Epstein files. However, the administration continues to illegally redact and withhold files, protecting identities of powerful people and predators, while disclosing photos, names, and private information of survivors.

Rep. Dexter is a proud co-sponsor of the Epstein Files Transparency Act and helped force the vote to require the administration to release the files.
