Thank you so much to Third Act Oregon and all the other organizations who helped organize Portland's Sun Day of Action. It was an honor to speak about the importance of intersectional climate advocacy and supporting renewable energy while protecting our vulnerable communities locally and nationally.

This Saturday! It's going to be a gorgeous fall day for Annual Bike Town Hall. RSVP at http://bit.ly/SeeYouAtTheTownHall #orleg

Here at YIMBYtown with wonderful speakers connecting housing wins to the fight for transit - @amb.fyi @senkhanhpham.bsky.social @jarjoh.bsky.social @alexbaca.bsky.social

Looking forward to speaking on a panel on housing and transportation, and meeting people at @yimbytown.bsky.social this weekend! #yimbytown

Thank you to JVP Portland for organizing, and thanks to @pnwpolicyangel.bsky.social, Rep Farrah Chaichi, @repwillychotzen.bsky.social, Councilor Nadia Hasan for speaking at today's rally in support of the Block the Bombs bill: www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Everyone should send @senkhanhpham.bsky.social a thank you email because her and her team have been busting ass to save transit and barely anyone else had the guts to join them

This week, I voted to oppose the -18 Amendment to HB 3991 in the Joint Special Session Committee on Transportation Funding. I vow as a legislator to continue to fight for long term stable funding for this critical social service that serves the 1 in 4 Oregonians who can't or don't drive. #orleg

Republicans are proposing we use emergency reserve money to cover our transportation shortfall - this is nuts! There could not be a worse time to use up our cautiously guarded emergency funding. We need those dollars for wildfire response and other critical services in the uncertain times ahead.

Oregon has to be wiling to lead with common sense solutions like static connection to the federal tax code and revenue reform rooted in tax fairness that puts the wellbeing of working families front and center. #orleg #orpol https://loom.ly/u0qTFE8

First day back to school! Such a joy to see so many wonderful people who make our community a welcoming and vibrant place! Teachers, school social workers, counselors, the Latina moms group, Lent pedestrian bridge super volunteer, and ODOT trash pick up along the 205 path. I love our community!

I really appreciate this perspective from fellow elected officials around the country. With so much discussion about "abundance" these days, I want to make sure here in Oregon our efforts to expand housing production and build infrastructure benefit everyone. #orpol https://loom.ly/kT379bc

Thank you so much to @AlbinaVisionTrust for hosting a wonderful Sunday dinner event this weekend. I'm so grateful for your visionary work and leadership to redefine what's possible for neighborhood development and community wealth-building in our city and state.

Thank you Gov. Tina Kotek for affirming Oregon will protect the rights and human dignity of all our neighbors and keep our communities safe from federal overreach. https://www.kptv.com/2025/08/18/i-will-fight-oregon-gov-responds-trump-admin-deadline-end-sanctuary-policies/

“These tactics will only scare folks from working during the peak harvest. This not only affects farmworkers’ ability to support their families but also the many growers who rely on migrant labor and our collective ability to put food on our tables” - PCUN's Reyna Lopez https://loom.ly/3DC-s2o

This is a desperate, despot dictator move. An attempt to intimidate and silence this great American Black-led city, and an attack on dissent itself, as DC is the center of protest, of people exercising our freedoms to speak against this regime. Speak out! https://loom.ly/3U396RY

I'm so grateful for the Portland Clean Energy Fund. These air conditioners will literally save lives during this and future heat waves, which are only going to be more common in the years ahead. We must continue to protect and invest in our front line communities. https://loom.ly/XhxDvZQ

"It’s undeniable that Oregon’s roads are suffering from decades of chronic underinvestment, but there could not be a worse time than the present for the state government to pilfer our cautiously guarded emergency funding, which is needed for wildfire response and other critical services." #orleg

Heartbroken and outraged by the arson that destroyed CAIRO Academy’s new playground—a space of joy for Portland’s African immigrant kids. This was an attack on hope. CAIRO still rises. Let’s help them rebuild. 📰 KGW: https://loom.ly/HgQfcZQ 💖 Donate: https://gofund.me/21eac220

This is baseline public leadership right now. Non-wealthy blue state governors should be just as emboldened.

Whenever any member of our community is targeted, we are all diminished. Portland welcomes our neighbors of all cultures and identities as the foundation for a healthy democracy where we can disagree on ideas and hold one another's common humanity at the the same time. https://loom.ly/Pk61PBs

This week, I had the honor of attending the groundbreaking ceremony for 73Foster, a new affordable housing complex which will bring homes for sixty four new families into Senate District 23. Congrats and thank you to REACH CDC and all of the community partners who made this new investment possible.

I'm grateful for this analysis by @sightline.org of Governor Kotek's housing bills passed this session. Oregon needs to continue to aggressively pursue policy options to make it easier to build homes for Oregonians at all ages, wages and stages of life. #orleg https://loom.ly/4gpLtZk

Thank you SD 23 for coming out to our end of session town hall and for the support to continue fighting to defend democracy, fund transit and safe streets, take bold climate action, and deliver transformative wins on revenue reform to fund schools and vital human needs. #orleg #orpol

Bus riders across the state, like those riding the 9-Powell bus with me this week, are counting on legislators to pass a stopgap transportation funding bill to protect existing levels of transit service. #orleg

I've missed you! Let's catch up at our Joint Town Hall on Monday, July 28th. Myself, Rep Chotzen and Rep Tran will be on hand to answer your questions and share updates, highlights and unfinished business from the 2025 Legislative Session. What's on your mind? Hope to see you there! #orleg #orpol

As I drive through smoky roads in Klamath County today, ODOT maintenance workers are the ones directing people away from dangerous wildfires. In the winter, they're the ones out before dawn, plowing snow from our roads so that Oregonians can travel safely.

ICE's violent arrest of a law abiding, legal, green card holding resident while dropping his child at preschool is abhorrent. As parents, we do all we can to protect our kids from this nightmarish trauma - armed agents breaking into a personal car and kidnapping a family member.

If you live near 82nd you know that when the temps climb over 90 degrees, our neighbors face deadly conditions. The good news is we can change this - plant more trees, create more shade, expand cooling in homes and community spaces, check in on vulnerable neighbors. What are your ideas?

Thank you so much to the @picklesbaseball.bsky.social for inviting me to throw the first pitch this weekend!

I'm throwing the first pitch at the Portland Pickles game this Sunday July 13! Please join me at the game this Sun at 6pm at Lents Park's Walker Stadium! Tickets are available here: www.picklestickets.com/event/state-...

Senator Khanh Pham’s statement on the failure of HB 2025: #orleg #orpol

Our constituents have overwhelmingly expressed their support for Preschool for All. On their behalf, we oppose any changes to this program at this late date in the session. We're committed to strengthening this program and expanding early childhood education across Oregon. #orleg #orpol

Last week I voted in committee to support House Bill 2025. We can see the result of disinvestment in our road system everyday - potholes on our streets, weight-limited bridges, soaring traffic fatalities, county roads without shoulders, and kids who can't even bike and walk to school. #orleg

Preschool for All is voter approved initiative. Any changes should only happen after extensive public engagement. Our community needs us to lead with transparency and respect for the will of the voters, especially when democracy is under attack and important programs face painful cuts. #orleg #orpol

President Trump's bombing of Iran puts American lives at risk - all without Congressional approval or constitutional authority - and marks a dangerous, deliberate escalation toward an unjust war. It is unconscionable to cut healthcare for millions and then spend billions to drop bombs on Iran.

SB 688 modernizes how Oregon regulates investor owned utilities by authorizing the PUC to implement Performance-Based Regulation (PBR).These tools align utility profits with actual performance outcomes: things like wildfire safety, grid reliability, and lower bills for ratepayers. #orleg #orpol

Thank you Senator Lew Frederick for your OpEd supporting SB 686, the Oregon Journalism Protection Act. #orleg #orpol theskanner.com/opinion/commentary/36868-sb-686-will-support-the-black-press Take action at bit.ly/ProtectORJournalism

Looking forward to voting for HB 3954. We need our National Guard to focus on national disasters in Oregon like wildfire prevention and not be used unlawfully and dangerously as immigration police against the communities that they pledge to serve. #orpol #orleg www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

About Iran: the US said we’re going to liberate Afghanistan too. What did the US actually accomplish? Decades of war spending & unnecessary death. Then we left & the Taliban continue to oppress. Now, Trump deports Afghans seeking asylum b/c they’re in danger in Afghanistan for helping the US.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

•US Intel confirmed Iran has 0 nukes •Iran never attacked USA •Iran offered to revive nuclear deal •Iran is a signature to NPT •Iran allows full IAEA inspections And ALL notwithstanding •Trump had no approval from Congress Trump has violated his Oath. If Congress had a spine they’d impeach him

This is how authoritarians operate: they escalate conflict, bypass diplomacy, and put millions of lives at risk to project power. Striking nuclear sites in Iran is not strength—it’s reckless, destabilizing, and dangerous for the entire world. We should all be paying close attention.

Thank you Eric Ward for your words and leadership today and always, proud to have you as a friend and constituent! time.com/7295731/june...

My deepest condolences to the family of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark who were killed in a politically-motivated assassination on Sat in Minnesota, and to Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, who were also shot. Political differences never justify violence.

In this time of increasing discord, vitriol, and fearmongering, hatred is emboldened. I'm committed to the transformative power of peaceful, democratic change. Our common humanity is how we make it through these tough times together.

SB 686 - our Oregon Journalism Protection Act - passed out of the Senate Rules committee and is on its way to the Senate floor! Local journalism is not a luxury--it's foundational to a healthy democracy. #orleg #orpol www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Thank you @wyden.senate.gov for speaking up, "If they'll do this to a sitting United States Senator in front of a room full of media, imagine what is being done to powerless people in secret." #orpol

Senate Bill 684 currently sits in the Ways and Means Committee - let’s get this bill across the finish line and get one-time funding for this program to ensure we build enough housing at all income levels so all Oregonians can afford to call our state home. #orpol #orleg

Stay cool and hydrated in the heat today - and take a moment to connect with seniors and anyone else in your neighborhood that could use a friendly check in! More resources from Multnomah County here: loom.ly/Vwf7D_8
