(Washington, D.C.) -- Legislation to name the Hillsboro Post Office in honor of former Oregon Congresswoman Elizabeth Furse passed Congress and was sent to President Biden to sign. Furse represented Oregon's First Congressional District from 1993 to 1999 and established her legacy as a champion for human and tribal rights and social justice. Furse was the first woman elected to represent Oregon's First District and helped secure funding to expand TriMet's MAX Blue Line into Hillsboro. Furse died in 2021 at age 84 on her Hillsboro farm.
