Congressman Cliff Bentz, who has been serving Oregon's 2nd district in the U.S. Congress since 2021, recently expressed his views on various issues through a series of tweets. Bentz, who succeeded Greg Walden and previously served in both the Oregon House of Representatives and State Senate, is vocal about matters affecting his constituents.

On December 2, 2024, Congressman Bentz tweeted "Rules for thee but not for me… or my family". This statement suggests criticism regarding perceived double standards in policy enforcement or behavior among political figures.

On December 3, 2024, he addressed Governor Tina Kotek's request to President Biden concerning the Owyhee Canyonlands by stating "My statement regarding @GovTinaKotek recent letter to President Biden asking for a national monument designation for the Owyhee Canyonlands." The tweet indicates Bentz's involvement and stance on federal land management issues.

Further expressing local sentiment on this matter, Bentz noted on December 5, 2024: "90% of Oregon voters locally in Malheur County voted against the monument. The message is clear—Oregonians have spoken. They don’t want it." This highlights significant opposition from constituents towards the proposed national monument designation.
