(1/4) This morning, November SNAP benefits are finally arriving in Oregonians’ accounts, ending weeks of uncertainty and worry for hundreds of thousands of Oregonians. www.opb.org/article/2025... #ORleg #ORpol

Oregonians have stood for justice, not violence. If today's ruling stands and troops are deployed against our people, it would be an act of authoritarianism, not an act of protection. www.opb.org/article/2025...

(1/5) I join my House and Senate colleagues today in mourning the passing of Representative Hòa Nguyễn, a dedicated leader, a passionate champion for students, and a beloved colleague and friend. #ORleg #ORpol

Oregonians have showed up peacefully, calmly, and united against Trump’s abuse of the Constitution, and we will continue to do so. Our communities are not military training grounds; our neighbors are not enemy combatants.

The courts have temporarily blocked Trump’s plan to send the National Guard into Portland. The truth has won out — Portland is not a war zone. There is no rebellion or insurrection here, just people going about their daily lives.

(1/3) This week I joined @repwillychotzen.bsky.social, @rephaipham.bsky.social& Rep. Chaichi for @tinakotek.bsky.social signing our consumer privacy bill that cracks down on personal data sales. #ORpol #ORleg

(1/3) With today’s Senate vote, Oregon passed a much-needed transportation package that will mean safer roads & bridges, reliable buses, and stronger accountability for every dollar spent. #ORleg #ORpol oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/09/29/o...

Sending the military to Portland would not only be a violation of federal law, but of our basic rights and freedoms. I know this moment feels unsettling for people across our state and across the country – now more than ever, I urge Oregonians to stay calm, stay peaceful, and stay united.

There is no mistaking where Oregonians stand: we do not want federal troops on our streets. Oregon is our home, not a war zone or a military target, and our communities remain vibrant and secure.

My office is reaching out to the White House and Homeland Security for more information. We have been provided no information on the reason or purpose of any military mission. There is no national security threat in Portland. Our communities are safe and calm.

(1/2) Cost of living is top of mind for Oregon families. That’s why last session the legislature passed laws to keep money in people’s pockets—like ensuring medical debt doesn't wreck your credit score & cracking down on predatory car loans oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/09/15/n... #ORpol #ORleg

(1/2) I was honored to join @wyden.senate.gov, @orsecretaryread.bsky.social, Sen. Manning & Barbara Smith Warner of @voteathome.bsky.social to talk about the importance of Oregon’s vote-by-mail system. Oregon has led the nation, showing that VBM is secure, effective & increases turnout #ORleg #ORpol

(1/2) Housing has been a big area of focus for me in the legislature, and it's exciting to see some of the fruits of our labor. Nearly 1,200 new homes are now moving forward in 7 Oregon cities thanks to our work in the last several sessions #ORpol #ORleg oregoncapitalchronicle.com/briefs/orego...

(1/3) Republicans in Congress passed Trump's devastating cuts to Medicaid & food assistance—and Oregon families will feel the impact. Hundreds of thousands will lose health care, and nearly $3B in SNAP cuts mean families will go hungry. #ORleg #ORpol buff.ly/E1Z9Ud5

(1/2) Housing & homelessness has been a major focus of my #ORleg work. It’s good to see that work paying off in Lane County where, with $8.8M in state funding, a new housing project will provide stable homes for some of our most vulnerable neighbors #ORleg #ORpol buff.ly/iNu6k41

Charlie Kirk’s murder is truly shocking. We cannot allow moments like this to become routine — for a democracy to function we must all stand united against political violence. When a society loses the ability to resolve its differences through dialogue, it loses its way.

(1/2) Cities & counties across Oregon are struggling to keep up with road maintenance. In Eugene, leaders are dipping into reserves to cover routine roadwork, and 12% of roads are in poor or very poor condition #ORpol #ORleg buff.ly/Udr36G8

(1/2) Since Rep. Javadi joined the Legislature, I’ve watched him put aside partisan differences and take principled stands in service of addressing the big issues his constituents and the people of Oregon are facing. #ORleg #ORpol www.opb.org/article/2025...

(1/3) Oregon’s transportation system is at a breaking point—without action, we face deep cuts to road maintenance on state & local roads, and to transit service. That’s not acceptable for families, businesses, or communities in our state #ORleg #ORpol www.opb.org/article/2025...

This session #ORleg took big steps to address Oregon’s senior housing crisis. HB 3589 invests $23.5M to build, rehab & preserve affordable, accessible homes so older Oregonians can age safely in place. #ORpol www.grantspasstribune.com/oregon-governor-signs-bill-to-boost-senior-housing-development

Some of the most important progress we made this session was on strengthening our behavioral health system. New laws will help recruit & retain providers, expand treatment capacity, improve crisis response, and invest in prevention (1/2) #ORleg #ORpol www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

ODOT crews play a vital role in wildfire prevention. Before the Aubrey Mountain fire, they spent weeks clearing dead & dying trees, which helped slow the fire’s spread & keep it from burning hotter (1/2) #ORleg #ORpol lookouteugene-springfield.com/story/enviro...

Donald Trump & Congressional Republicans’ “One Big Ugly Bill” will do staggering harm to Oregon. A new state analysis shows the impacts over the coming years—and they’re devastating #ORleg #ORpol (1/4) www.opb.org/article/2025...

Clean drinking water should be a given. But too many Oregonians—especially in rural areas—can’t count on it. I was proud to support these new laws signed by Gov. @tinakotek.bsky.social to protect drinking water and public health #ORleg #ORpol

This session, recognizing that shelters can be a step on the path out of homelessness, #ORleg allocated funding to keep shelter facilities up & running and helped ensure that shelters across the state meet basic, consistent standards of care #ORpol

Small businesses are vital to Oregon’s economy—that's why the legislature passed a bill that will prioritize small Oregon-based businesses in public contracting and will cut through red tape that makes it harder for smaller firms to compete #ORpol #ORleg

This session #ORleg passed a package of bills to increase housing production across Oregon—from expanding middle housing to speeding up permitting to supporting modular housing. Glad to see @tinakotek.bsky.social sign these bills into law! #ORpol

Last month I had the chance to join legislative colleagues in Klamath Falls to hear from local leaders & see some of the incredible work that the legislature has supported in Southern Oregon on workforce development, housing production, & behavioral health (1/5) #ORleg #ORpol

I recently joined Michael Dunne on Oregon on the Record to talk about the 2025 legislative session—what we accomplished & what’s still ahead, from housing & public safety to the upcoming special session on transportation #ORleg #ORpol

Oregon just took a big step toward energy resilience! Legislation we passed this session will pave the way for community microgrids—helping to keep critical services up and running during power outages from extreme weather or wildfire #ORleg #ORpol

Oregon’s gas tax is no longer enough to fund our roads & bridges. That’s why #ORleg is headed into a special session: to prevent immediate cuts & to start building a sustainable transportation funding system that reflects how people get around today #ORpol

I was honored to join Gov. @tinakotek.bsky.social, legislative colleagues, and education leaders for the signing of this session’s historic education bills. We’re making long-overdue investments in Oregon schools—and expecting real results (1/4) #ORleg #ORpol

Too many Oregon workers have waited too long for help recovering the wages they’re legally owed. This session, the legislature approved $19M so that BOLI can hire more staff, upgrade outdated systems, and clear the wage claim backlog #ORleg #ORpol

This year, the Oregon legislature created the state's first-ever dedicated wildfire prevention fund—$60M for home hardening, defensible space, & more. Thanks to leaders like Christina Maier in Sisters, we’re moving forward. #ORleg #ORpol

Oregon's transportation system is at risk, w/cuts to road maintenance, snow plowing, pothole repairs, & transit service. I’m grateful Gov Kotek called a special session—let’s restore local funding, protect frontline jobs, & keep Oregon moving #ORleg #ORpol www.opb.org/article/2025...

This session, I was proud to work w/ @emerson4or.bsky.social, Rep. Kropf, and Sen. Broadman to fund important capital projects in Central Oregon: expanded care at Mosaic, a new emergency hub, a child psychiatric facility, the High Desert Museum, & more #orleg #orpol

While Oregon is making record investments in our schools—including early literacy, summer learning & student mental health— the Trump admin is unlawfully withholding $6B in federal funding. Grateful to @agdanrayfield.bsky.social for fighting back #orleg #orpol

This session we passed smart legislation to protect public workers’ pensions & grow our economy. We're putting pension dollars to work for Oregon—not Wall Street #ORleg #ORpol oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/07/09/a...

Trump’s cuts to SNAP will take food off the tables of thousands of Oregonians—especially kids, seniors, and rural families. All to fund tax breaks for the ultra-rich. Oregon will do everything we can, but states can't solve this on our own #ORleg #ORpol

This session the legislature prioritized housing affordability—from removing red tape so more housing can be built faster, to supporting the needs of seniors & those living in manufactured home parks. A great summary of major bills we passed: oregoncapitalchronicle.com/briefs/gov-k... #ORleg #ORpol

Proud of our results this session on the big issues Oregonians care most about—housing affordability, cost of living, education, healthcare, wildfire, & more. Listen to a recap of the session with Sen. Jeff Golden and me on the Jefferson Exchange. #ORpol #ORleg

Today I’m heartbroken for the family, friends, colleagues, and community of Melissa and Mark Hortman. Melissa was a tireless advocate for her state — someone who led with heart and vision, and who was respected for working across differences for the betterment of all Minnesotans.

One of @ORHouseDems' top priorities this session is making life more affordable for Oregonians. Check out this write-up about bills we're working on to keep utility costs affordable and make utility companies more accountable to rate payers #ORleg #ORpol

Oregon’s housing crisis demands action. HB 3746 cuts red tape for condo construction—one of the most affordable paths to homeownership out there. It’s a smart step toward meeting our housing goals. lookouteugene-springfield.com/story/govern... #ORpol #ORleg

Thanks to all who joined our Protecting Our Progress town hall with Majority Leader Bowman & Reps. @rickiruizor.bsky.social & @repwillychotzen.bsky.social ! We discussed how OR Dems are holding the line against the Trump administration's chaos. Watch here: #orpol #orleg

1/5 100 days into Trump’s presidency, Oregon families are paying more, businesses are hurting, and basic rights are under attack. We can’t stop everything that Trump is doing—but we’re doing everything we can to fight back and protect Oregon’s future #Trump100Days #ORleg #ORpol

Proud to join Gov. @tinakotek.bsky.social and Rep. @rickiruizor.bsky.social today for the signing of our Summer Literacy Bill! As Trump cuts education funding, we're stepping up & investing in a detailed plan of action to make sure our kids are reading at grade level #ORleg #ORpol

Last week the House passed the Fan Fairness & Transparency Act (HB 3167) to protect fans from hidden fees, fake tickets, and shady resellers. It bans bots, requires upfront pricing, and stops speculative sales. Now on to the Senate! #ORpol #ORleg

Oregon needs to build >100,000 homes to meet the need & solve our housing crisis. We’re working to cut red tape to help us build more middle housing types (think duplexes & condos) that are more affordable & offer more choices for Oregonians #ORleg #ORpol oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/03/04/o...
