Oregon is the front line of defense for America's democracy — and we're winning. But the fight’s not over. And I want you to know I will keep fighting to make sure Oregon remains the gold standard for elections that are fair, accessible, accurate, and secure. Read more: https://bit.ly/49YNkCn

I’m proud to unveil my office’s new plan for performance audits. When I was elected to Secretary of State, I promised to revamp Oregon's state agency auditing system to help rebuild trust in your state government & to make sure your state tax dollars have the impact you deserve.

When they went after our voter data, the Trump administration went too far — and now there are consequences. When we stand up to these bullies, we win. Read more: https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2026/01/judge-throws-out-trump-push-for-oregon-voter-private-data-citing-bondi-letter.html

Oregon is the gold standard when it comes to making sure that elections are fair, accessible, accurate & secure. So, when anyone pushes back against that, you have to question what's their problem w/ more citizens voting & being accurately counted? Listen to my recent interview w/ @zerlinamaxwell.

Let’s be clear Oregon will not turn over YOUR private voter data to a federal government that has no respect for the American people or OUR RIGHTS. Read more: https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2026/01/judge-throws-out-trump-push-for-oregon-voter-private-data-citing-bondi-letter.html

This administration thinks they can push through every boundary, every check on their power, but they ran into a brick wall in Oregon. We will not turn over private voter data to a federal government that has no respect for the American people or their rights. We will not be bullied.

Recently talked to @zerlinamornings.bsky.social about how Oregon is the front line of defense for America's democracy against federal overreach — and how we're winning. Listen in.

They went too far — and now there are consequences. When we stand up to these bullies, we win.

Oregonians rely on these financial reports to keep their local governments accountable, and they have every right to expect municipalities provide this information promptly. Read more: https://bit.ly/4t2rYwS

My heart is heavy with the news and images coming out of Minnesota. Our country is suffocating under the pressure and divisiveness of this administration. While we're still learning the facts, some things are clear: There is no compassion, no deescalation and no restraint.

It's simple: We want to put power back into the hands of Oregonians and make sure that no one can buy our democracy. That's why we're committed to making sure there are limits on campaign donations in this state. #orpol

Hello Friday! Joining @zerlinamaxwell.bsky.social this morning: 'The Ambition Trap' author @aminaaltai.bsky.social, OR Sec. of State @orsecretaryread.bsky.social, + Atlanta Mayor @andreforatlanta.com! ☎️ 866-997-4748 📻 @SiriusXMProg Ch. 127 siriusxm.us/Zerlina

On Monday, we gathered to honor the legacy of a great leader. Today we are reminded that progress is made by people who refuse to give up or extinguish their voice - just like Dr. King. Thank you to SEIU, Si Se Puede Oregon, MECHa and community partners.

In these difficult times, Dr. King's life reminds us of who we are called to be - not when the road is smooth, but when it’s rough. One of Dr. King’s enduring beliefs is that anyone can serve. He said we “… only need a heart full of grace and a soul generated by love.”

Last week, I attended a hearing about HB 4024, Oregon's new campaign finance reform law. My message was clear: We have to put power back into the hands of Oregonians. No one should be able to buy our democracy. We're ready to work with the legislature to make sure this law lives up to its promises.

Here in Oregon, we will always defend free and fair elections. Because in America, the people decide.

Today we gathered to honor the legacy of a great leader. Today we are reminded that progress is made by people who refuse to accept injustice - just like Dr. King. Thank you to SEIU, Si Se Puede Oregon, MECHa and our community partners for reminding our country that Immigrants Make America Great!

Thank you, Pastor Hennessee and the Vancouver Avenue First Baptist Church for the opportunity to be with you yesterday to honor Dr. King’s legacy, especially right now when his words about justice are speaking to us with renewed urgency.

Microsoft's Hillsboro engineering campus is another shining example of the industry-leading, innovative spirit that makes Oregon the heart of the Silicon Forest. Thank you for the tour, and your continued investment in Hillsboro!

Bottom line: I'll continue to make Oregon a national leader in clean and fair elections, stand up to anyone who tries to undermine our elections, and audit state programs to make sure your tax dollars are well spent. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4spZVHp

There's been a lot of noise online about Oregon's voter rolls, and a lot of it is flat-out wrong. I'm here to set the record straight. Help us spread the message: Oregon's elections are secure, fair, and accurate. #orpol

Not once, but twice, the courts have stopped the president from meddling in our elections and sided with Oregon. This is big news for our elections and your vote.

Yesterday, we had another massive win for protecting Oregonians’ privacy & the rule of law with @agdanrayfield.bsky.social. Trump's DOJ tried to sue Oregon after we refused to hand over your private data: SSNs, birthdays - all tied to your voting record. The federal court sided with us. #orpol

This is a big win for every American. Proud of every Secretary of State joined in the fight to protect our voter lists and the integrity of our elections - run by the states, not the feds, under the Constitution. When we fight, we win.

This is big for Oregonians’ privacy and the rule of law. Tonight, we proved, once again, we have the power to push back and win. https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2026/01/judge-to-trump-administration-hands-off-oregon-voters-most-private-data.html

ICYMI: We fought in court to protect voting in Oregon – and we won. Voting by mail is a safe, secure, and beloved Oregon value, and we’ll continue to fight for Oregon values every day. Read more: https://ow.ly/48AX50XVLWZ #orpol Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read

Folks, we have to take this man at his word: President Trump does not want us to have free, fair elections. But, the law is not on his side. I will continue to stand up to him and to anyone who tries to undermine our elections with lies, threats or blatant power grabs. #orpol

We had a HUGE win for protecting elections in Oregon on Friday with Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read a court sided with Oregon and Washington and blocked an executive order that would have required all ballots to be received by Election Day. Read more: https://ow.ly/XXMc50XVLUL #orpol

Grateful to be back at USCIS celebrating our nation's newest citizens and helping them register to vote- the most important step in becoming full participants in our democracy. Have you registered? Register or update your address at Oregonvotes.gov

Last March, the Trump Administration tried to attack American elections, and your right to vote, with an illegal executive order. Just now, a federal court shut that down and affirmed what the Constitution has always made clear: States run elections. Not presidents.

The Trump administration attacked American elections with an illegal executive order. Today we put a stop to that nonsense. This is a big win for the Constitution and the American people. Presidents don't get to rig elections. Period. https://bit.ly/45CB4WV

We're still waiting for all the details, but we see exactly what's going on: this administration is sending militarized federal agents into our communities with deadly consequences. It's not okay, and we will hold them accountable without giving them the chaos they want.

I have one message for Secretary Morales and his Hoosiers: Bring. It. On. We’re ready for this shot at redemption. #GoDucks!

One year in as your Secretary of State and my message is simple: We’re doing the work. We’re raising the bar. And we’re not backing down. I’m ready for year two. Let’s go.

Ash Grove's newest mill in Durkee showcases the importance of American innovation and investing in rural Oregon. Thank you to all the hardworking people building a brighter future for our state and our planet!

One of my favorite things about this state is we show up for each other. If you're visiting Washington Square, stop by the #GivingMachine. It's an easy way to support Oregonians in need this holiday season. Thanks to Oregon legends Timber Joey & Jon Heder joining the cause!

It was a privilege to meet with Oregon's future leaders at Sherwood Middle School! Thank you, Ms. Brooks, for welcoming me into your classroom and for fostering curiosity and a love for civics in your students.

For over 40 years, the lighting of the first Hanukkah candle has drawn community together at Pioneer Courthouse Square. And last night, Rabbi Motti Wilhelm reminded us how this light- shared and celebrated- always conquers darkness. Wishing a happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate.

The Department of Justice and Homeland Security owe us answers, and we will keep pressing for the truth, because Americans deserve to know what is happening with their private information. Read the full letter here: https://bit.ly/4r55dY4

Wyatt and Ben stopped by our office with something special: a handmade Worry Monster they created. They make these to bring comfort to kids who may be going through a tough time, and this season, they're donating 100 across Oregon. Their kindness is as impressive as their creativity.

A huge thank you to County Clerk Brien Beebe and his team for helping ensure every voter in Hood River County can take part in our free, fair, and secure elections. With 35 County Clerks visited, I'm down to my final stop- see you soon Lake County!

I don’t know any American who supports taking food away from kids and families so a billionaire politician and his lackeys in D.C. can take revenge on their opponents. Using Americans as political pawns is low, but for this administration, the bar is in hell.

Our offices are closed today and tomorrow in observance of Thanksgiving and will reopen on Monday, December 1st with regular business hours. Contact us at 503-986-1523 or by email at [email protected].

Donald Trump is trying to gut our democracy like he's gutting the East Wing– but neither of those are his to break. Use your voice! Tell the President, your representatives, governors, and secretaries of state: #FreeFairElections are our right as Americans, and we won't settle for anything less.

Supreme Court case to watch: The RNC is trying to stop Mississippi from counting ballots if they were filled out & mailed ON TIME but arrive after election day. Let's be clear: this isn't about election integrity. It's about rigging the rules & it could have a big impact on your right to vote.

We're not getting straight answers from the DOJ and DHS about what they're doing with your private voter data. I'm joining 9 other Secretaries of State in demanding the truth. Watch, share, and join the calls for accountability. https://bit.ly/4r55dY4

34 counties down, 2 to go! Big thanks to clerks Laurie Cates, Dag Robinson, and Tommy Gong for the great conversations, and to all 36 of Oregon's county clerks for working tirelessly to ensure each election is fair, free, secure, & accessible to every Oregonian.

The Constitution grants Presidents ZERO power over elections because our founders were all too familiar with the tyranny of kings. Trump doesn't respect our laws or America's values. If he tries another illegal executive order to rig our elections, we'll see him in court. https://bit.ly/4nKWGH1

It's Election Day, Oregon! Get your ballot in by 8pm TONIGHT (11/4), and whatever you do- don't forget to sign your envelope!
