Ron Wyden Life

Ronald Lee Wyden (born May 3, 1949) is Oregon's top state senator since 1996.

He served in the United States House of Representatives from 1981 to 1996 as a member of the Democratic Party.

He is the current dean of Oregon's congressional delegation.

Personal life

Wyden's home is in Portland, Oregon, and he has an apartment in Washington, D.C. Adam and Lilly, his first wife, Laurie (née Oseran), divorced in 1999 after 20 years of marriage. ADW Capital Partners LP, Adam's son, owns a hedge fund.

On September 24, 2005, Wyden married Nancy Wyden (née Bass), the daughter of Fred Bass and (then co-) owner of Strand Bookstore in New York. They have three children, two twins born in 2007 and a daughter born in 2012. They sold their 5,300-square-foot townhouse in Manhattan for $7.5 million in 2016. During Wyden's 2010 Senate race, opponents questioned how much time Wyden spent in Oregon given his wife's New York residence.

Wyden announced on December 16, 2010 that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer in a very early stage during a routine screening. On December 20 at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, he underwent surgery. The operation was successful, and Wyden recovered quickly and returned to Congress in January 2011.

When foreign governments are abusing'security flaws' on smartphones and tracking Americans and journalists abroad, a top Democrat insists that Biden take action

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 29, 2024
In a letter sent Thursday to President Joe Biden, authoritarian foreign governments have been able to track Americans and journalists using flaws in mobile carrier networks for more than a decade. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., sent a letter to the president, alerting him of a known defect in Signaling System 7 (SS7), which is a protocol used by telecommunications carriers to push text and phone calls between carriers. The protocol was established as the international standard in 1988, and two decades later, it was discovered that SS7 could be used to reveal customer locations and even eavesdrop on calls. In the letter written by DailyMail.com, 'Surveillance firms and their authoritarian foreign government customers have exploited lax security in U.S. and international phone networks for at least a decade to track phones around the world.' Authoritarian governments have exploited these devices to track Americans in the United States and journalists and dissidents abroad, endangering national security, freedom of the press, and international human rights.'

Child tax credits bill passes key first hurdle - can YOU get extra $200 per kid by April?

Experts agree that it will be worthwhile not to file returns as it is set to be released by April 15. Parents will get more money as a result of a recent bill. It will also benefit businesses, both large and on Main Street. The House passed the $78 billion bipartisan bill on Wednesday, the first step in the House's first move, and now it heads to Sen. John Kerry. The bill would gradually raise the maximum refundable child tax credit to $1,800 for the 2023 tax returns, $1,900 for the following year, and $2,000 for 2025 tax returns.

Senators have threatened to ratchet up the $78 billion tax contract over the 'heartburn' for conservatives

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 1, 2024
Senate Republicans are trying to smear a tax bill that passed through the House in a rare bipartisan fashion. The bill, which was drafted by House Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith, R-Mo, and Senate Finance Chair Ron Wyden, D-Ore., passed the House 357-70. The $78 billion package would raise the child tax credit, but some Republicans are opposed to the work requirements. It would also bring back common company deductions for study and development. According to Senate Minority Whip John Thune, the agreement will not reach 60 percent - the number required to crack a filibuster without amendments, citing the 'delinking the CTC from the work requirement, which causes a lot of our people to get to heartburn.'
