Thank you so much to Cassie Wilson and 1000 Friends of Oregon for inviting me on to their series Transit Talks. 🚍 https://loom.ly/nBENozQ

This is tonight! Hope to see you at APANO. Not too late to RSVP: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Thank you to @counciloravalos.bsky.social, @councilormorillo.bsky.social and @councilorgreen.bsky.social for sponsoring the Resolution to advance the Inner Eastside for All plan, and thank you to @pnwelcome.bsky.social for pushing for more homes across the City of Portland.

I am proud of the work we accomplished this session, and looking forward to taking our next steps together towards the Oregon I know we can build. #abetterOregonispossible #orpol #orleg

Let’s discuss our wins, losses, concerns, and hopes for the interim and next session. Hope to see you Monday, March 16, at APANO—8188 SE Division St, Portland, OR 97206. RSVP here: https://qr.link/SxrKac #orpol #orleg

After 6 sessions, I still feel awed to participate in this 250 year old experiment in democracy. It's not a given and we must fight to protect it. In these short 5 weeks, we advanced key policies on housing, immigrant rights and democracy defense - and have much more work ahead. #orpol #orleg

SB 1521 provides greater flexibility and more stringent funding requirements for inclusionary zoning programs in the greater Portland area. This is a bipartisan victory ensuring Oregon continues to build more homes available to a wider range of income levels. 🏗️ 🏘️ #orleg

🎉 Celebrating key bills from our democracy defense agenda crossing the finish line today! I was proud to chief sponsor the Strengthening Patient and Provider Privacy Act (HB 4088), Protect Your Door Act (HB 4114), and Anti-Discrimination Protections for Immigrant Workers (HB 4111). #orpol #orleg

What a joy to welcome my constituent Oriana Korol and the Unpresidented Brass Band to the Capitol this session and celebrate our right to protest with music, creativity, and courage in the face of devastating assaults on our immigrant communities. #iceout #orleg #orpol 

It's a start! Thanks to the over 200 Oregonians who took action last week to testify or write to the governor's data center advisory council last week to make your voices heard! Because of your actions, we were able to win this 1.5 yr moratorium on data center tax breaks. https://loom.ly/6GqJ-Ko

Thank you Salem high students for showing up strong for our communities, our families, our neighbors today! I can't think of a better way to end a week that brought important parts of Oregon's immigrant justice package forward. Take action at the link in my bio. Sí, se puede! #orleg #orpol #iceout

Shoutout to @sightline.org's @andersem.bsky.social, who just testified in support of SB 1521 to reform and fully fund inclusionary zoning, to the House Rules committee this afternoon. Multiple bills endorsed by PNW are continuing to move forward ahead of the end of the legislative session. #orleg

Public education is a cornerstone of our democracy and public schools are the places in our neighborhoods where families access so many vital services and connections. Celebrating passage of the OR federal tax disconnect bill, but we need to do more. I'll be in this fight with you. #orleg #orpol

If Big Tech wants to build here, it should be on Oregon’s terms — strengthening our state – and without another blank check from Oregonians. Let the Governor's Data Center Advisory Committee know what you think should guide our state's policies around data centers: https://loom.ly/7YYjsqA

Join me in giving your public comment at the Governor’s new Data Center Advisory Committee first public meeting this Friday! This committee's decisions will shape our economy, water, air, and ability to fund essential services for decades to come. Take action here! https://loom.ly/7YYjsqA

This passed the Oregon Senate on Friday, 21-6, with all Democrats and 4 Republicans in favor. External issues have led to some process hurdles for but thanks to Speaker @repfahey.bsky.social it’s headed to House Rules, then hopefully to the House floor.

🚍 ACTION ALERT! 🚍 82nd Avenue is East Portland's Main Street, and our community deserves frequent and reliable transit. Join me and Representative Thuy Tran in asking the legislature to fund full Business Access and Transit Lanes on 82nd Avenue: #orleg #orpol actionnetwork.org/letters/fund...

Oregon, I hear you loud and clear. NOW is the time to make sure Oregon legislators hear your voices of support too. Take action to protect our communities from ICE violence, submit testimony, and send your emails here: https://loom.ly/2kwctyI #orleg #OrPol

My A11 amendment--which would have made data centers & crypto currency mining operations ineligible for these tax breaks--failed, but the fight's not over, for econ devt that nurtures OREGON-based businesses, with long-term family-wage jobs, rooted in our state. https://loom.ly/XvlpYuY

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who came worked for the last three years as part of our Protect Oregon Journalism coalition to support the Oregon Journalism Protection Act. While our bill won't be continuing this session, I am committed to carrying this work forward with your support. #orleg #orpol

10 years ago at an APANO Lobby Day with 100 other APANO members advocating for #OurFamiliesOurHealth and housing justice, I never imagined I'd be the State Senator welcoming our community to the Capitol. It's inspiring to imagine the next generation of leaders in our hallways today! #orpol #orleg

This debate is about whose side we are on when resources grow tight. We are responding to federal tax changes that benefited the wealthiest households and large corporations — changes that create immediate and long-term revenue problems for Oregon. SB 1507 is a step toward fairness and stability.

Chúc mừng năm mới! Happy Lunar New Year from the Oregon Senate. Grateful to all of my colleagues who took a moment on the Senate Floor to celebrate by greeting each other with good wishes for the Year of the Horse. #orleg 🐎

Senator Gordly was one of the first Black women and Women of Color in the OR Legislature, and she carried that history with strength, discipline, and deep roots in community. Her legacy shapes how I approach climate, housing, and accountability every day. #orleg #orpol https://loom.ly/xnSQCd0

ACTION ALERT: As Chair of the Senate Committee on Housing and Development, I need your help to restore $10 million in eviction prevention funding. Learn more and email your legislators here: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/restore-10-million-for-eviction-prevention/

I testified against HB 4046, the Nuclear Study bill, because Oregonians deserve more affordable and less dangerous energy solutions such as solar, wind, and long duration storage. Grateful for the advocacy from communities statewide — including Tribal nations. #orleg #orpol

Oregon needs to build more homes to tackle our housing crisis, and we need to make sure these homes are accessible to Oregonians at all income levels, at all stages of life. I'm so thrilled to see SB 1521 and 1567 advance out of committee.

Grateful for @trimet.org's leadership, and for the community voices who have pushed the agency to prioritize bus service on 82nd Avenue. This is a victory for healthier, more affordable and more equitable neighborhoods in East Portland. https://loom.ly/M0czKOY

Oregon's SB 1521, modernizing inclusionary zoning in the Portland metro area, unanimously passes Senate Housing. 🎉 Based on 10 years of lessons, it gives cities new policy options + a requirement that such programs be fully funded. Moves to senate floor! olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2026R1/M...

Last month set an all time record for the number of evictions in the state of Oregon. This is an emergency, and this legislative session I'm asking my colleagues to add back $10 million to the state's eviction prevention fund to help keep families in stable housing. #orleg https://loom.ly/4Fgb5vs

It's been a busy start to the year - press conferences and rallies, overseen hearings on multiple housing and transportation bills, met with policymakers and advocates on everything from immigrants' rights to economic development, and hosted visiting constituents for meetings in my office. #orleg

The Skanner's closure is a profound loss—an irreplaceable Black-owned institution holding power to account & serving communities too often ignored. I’m championing Protect Local Journalism (SB1580) to ensure Big Tech pays its fair share so community media survives & thrives. https://loom.ly/k0JNi8A

In this fraught time, it's inspiring to see Oregon high school students stepping up to discuss and debate our foundational constitutional principles, as they are being tested and under threat like never before. Shout out to the students from McDaniel High School featured! https://loom.ly/rU_Ih2Y

What's giving you hope these days? My community, this amazing district who care deeply about one another and organizing to protect and defend democracy, here in Oregon and beyond. Thanks to everyone for packing the room at our Joint Town Hall! #orleg

I am grieving the latest killing by federal agents. Alex Pretti — a neighbor who stepped in to protect a woman being physically attacked, who was then held down by multiple federal agents — was shot dead by ICE in Minneapolis this past weekend.

Thanks for coming to our Town Hall, Brian!

This legislative session, I'm introducing legislation to help build upon the City of Portland's successes with their Inclusionary Housing program, creating greater flexibility for cities to implement similar programs while installing guardrails to ensure we continue to build more homes. #orleg

Vigil: We Protect Us earlier tonight. Join, grieve, learn, plan to take action. Thank you PIRC + other organizers, choir, and all speakers including our electeds @candaceavalos.bsky.social @senkhanhpham.bsky.social & @repdexteror.bsky.social. Unidos jamás seremos vencidos.

Thank you to @axios.com for covering some of my housing policies for the upcoming 2026 legislative session: #orleg www.axios.com/local/portla...

Mark your calendar for Monday, January 26th at 5pm for our Oregon Legislative Session Preview Joint Town Hall! RSVP at https://bit.ly/Jan2026TownHall. Share your questions and gather in community as we prep for the short session starting 2/2. Join us! #orleg #orpol

Disappointed to see the IBR team once again deferred providing an updated cost estimate. I am concerned the ongoing cost-escalation will make it difficult to complete this project while also finding funding to maintain existing statewide roads and bridges. #orleg https://loom.ly/hu5BzdI

We live in uncertain times when fear is weaponized. But we're not alone. Our strength in community is stronger than hate. I mourn the lives lost in the antisemitic attack in Australia, and deeply appreciate Oregon's Jewish leaders' message of hope. https://loom.ly/B02Dcvg

The 2nd graders at Lent Elementary are curious about how you become a legislator, how many languages I speak, if I'm on TikTok, whose mom I am, and how my work impacts their lives. I love making sure constituents young and old know that we all belong in leadership and public service. #orleg

Welcome back, Foster Theater!

Attention McDaniel, Parkrose students! Check out this new program for @biketownpdx.bsky.social Youth Ambassadors: https://www.portland.gov/transportation/walking-biking-transit-safety/safe-routes/bya

Thank you Senator, 6 city councilors, and a majority of metro councilors (!) This is common-sense transportation policy. Bus on time important.

Today, I joined thirteen other elected officials and over thirty community advocacy organizations in writing @trimet.org to ask that the agency prioritize full, seven-mile Business Access and Transit (BAT) Lanes on 82nd Avenue as part of their ongoing Transit Project. #pdx #portland

Oregon desperately needs to build more homes - and I'm so grateful for Governor Tina Kotek's work to help establish the Oregon Housing Needs Analysis and ensure we build homes in every community for Oregonians of all ages, wages and stages of life. https://loom.ly/W_S1hJE

Thank you @tinakotek.bsky.social for your climate leadership! Oregon will keep moving forward with an affordable energy transition. https://oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/11/19/gov-kotek-orders-state-agencies-to-move-faster-on-clean-energy-projects-electrification/
