1/2 A decade ago, #ORleg passed HB 3362, which invested in education and outreach to help pesticide applicators protect bees. It's very exciting to see that the results of this legislative work are paying off... buff.ly/AnFcMSH #ORpol

House Democrats created a task force that will bring together veterans advocates, public health leaders, law enforcement, and community partners to strengthen crisis response services across Oregon. Veterans deserve timely, effective care when they need it most. #orleg #orpol

Oregon Democrats passed legislation to guarantee free monthly books for children under 5, expanding access to early literacy and helping ensure every child has the opportunity to succeed. Investing in kids is investing in Oregon's future. #orpol #orleg #education #reading #bipartisanship

LONG LIVE CASCADIA!

Addressing racial health disparities has been a priority of mine since joining the legislature in 2022. We’ve made an impact, but there’s a lot of work left to do. www.grantspasstribune.com/oregon-lawma...

In Oregon, data centers will no longer be charged for electricity like average customers — state regulators made a major change that will ensure they pay their fair share for the long-term costs they uniquely generate for the grid.

Despite tensions, both parties worked together to pass funding to renovate Portland’s Moda Center, to keep a rural Coos Bay hospital from closing and to fund statewide wildlife conservation.  Nearly 90% of bills — or 128 of 143 — that passed received at least one Republican vote. buff.ly/Li4tyXf

Republican or Democrat. House or Senate. Eastern Oregon or the Oregon Coast. Our job is to represent Oregonians. That's why last week the House passed a bill to ensure healthcare access on the Oregon Coast by guaranteeing funding for the Bay Area Hospital. We're in this together. #orleg #orpol

The 2026 session is done. We got real work done for Oregon families. House Democrats took steps to lower costs, protect schools and health care, & make housing more affordable. We also stood up for civil rights, privacy, and our immigrant communities. #orleg #orpol

For +50 years, the Portland Trail Blazers have been part of what makes Oregon special. The Oregon House took an important step toward modernizing the Moda Center: supporting jobs, strengthening local businesses, & ensuring Rip City remains a hub for sports, concerts, & major events. #orleg #orpol

The bill, which has passed both chambers of the Legislature, says tracking the whereabouts of drivers by their cars is meant for cracking down on crime.

A bill expanding Oregon’s shield laws that protect doctors, nurses, midwives, and others who provide abortions and gender-affirming care to out of state patients has passed both chambers in the Oregon Legislature.

Oregon state Democratic lawmakers approved a measure on Thursday that would prevent federal immigration officers from wearing masks. The measure is a response to the Trump administration’s nationwide deportation efforts.

👏 Round of applause for Rep. Emerson Levy and Rep. Jason Kropf for their tireless work. 👏 #orleg #orpol www.bizjournals.com/portland/new...

“My communities are drowning,” Sen. Suzanne Weber, R-Tillamook, told colleagues as she urged them to vote for a bill giving local governments more flexibility in how to spend lodging taxes. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/03/05/o...

“This bill ensures that Oregonians can continue to access affordable health care from Planned Parenthood,” @benfororegon.bsky.social told fellow lawmakers on Wednesday. www.thelundreport.org/content/stat...

“When rules are respected, outcomes are better, and when humanity is centered, trust can be restored,” Rep. Dacia Grayber (D-Southwest Portland) told colleagues at a recent hearing. “This legislation protects patients and it protects caregivers.” www.wweek.com/news/health/...

Oregon is set to become the first state in the country to require insurers to cover those costs for cervical cancer patients, and that policy could expand nationwide if a new federal regulation  takes effect at the start of next year.

Oregon took an important step to support our veterans. Today, the House strengthened suicide prevention efforts and expanded critical services for those who have served our country. In a state where a veteran dies by suicide every three days, action isn’t optional: it’s a responsibility. #orleg

“Today, we are making sure that our children and grandchildren inherit not just stories about Abiqua Falls, but the ability to stand there themselves. This place should belong to all of us." -House Majority Leader Bowman #orleg #orpol www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

"For us to do our jobs, we need a carefully coordinated environment where roles are clear and patients are centered. When that environment is disrupted, people get hurt," firefighter and paramedic [Rep. Dacia Grayber] said on the floor. #orleg #orpol www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/p...

“In my district, a constituent paid $3,000 for two tickets to see Willie Nelson at Britt, only to learn upon arrival that the tickets were fake—and that the real cost was $159 per ticket!" - Rep. Pam Marsh #orleg #orpol www.wweek.com/news/2026/02...

Rep. Hartman who has publicly shared about her cervical cancer diagnosis last year and her ongoing treatment, testified in support of the bill. “This was all preventable,” she said. #orleg #orpol www.ijpr.org/health-and-m...

Oregon lawmakers just put working families & local businesses first, not special interests or billionaires. This legislation pushes back against tax breaks championed under Trump that overwhelmingly benefit large corporations and the ultra-wealthy, leaving states to fill the gaps. #orleg #orpol

The measure would require insurers to fully cover follow-up tests for cervical cancer after an abnormal screening.

This is why we do what we do. To protect Oregonians. This week, we passed the Law Enforcement Accountability and Visibility Act (LEAVA) to increase transparency, accountability and clear standards for law enforcement and public agencies operating across Oregon. #orleg #orpol

Health care should be provided by local doctors, not corporations. House Democrats will hold anyone who believes different accountable. #orleg #orpol www.registerguard.com/story/news/l...

“These straightforward policies protect funding for schools, health care and community based services, while allowing us to lower taxes for working families and support jobs, with an eye on supporting job growth,” said bill sponsor Rep. Nancy Nathanson, D-Eugene. #orleg #orpol

"This bill will meaningfully work to protect scared Oregonians by establishing uniform, minimum standards for all law enforcement operating in Oregon – local, state, and federal – so authority is visible, accountable, and transparent." -Rep. Farrah Chaichi www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/p...

Oregon House lawmakers voted Tuesday to hike the state’s lodging tax to pay for wildlife conservation programs and to compensate ranchers whose cattle are killed by wolves.

This is what 10 years of work paying off looks like. Today, the House passed bipartisan legislation that takes a significant step forward in securing long-term, sustainable funding for Oregon’s fish, wildlife and natural habitats. #orleg #orpol

We're working for all Oregonians. No exceptions. #orleg #orpol www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/p...

“Oregonians want a government that works. They don’t want gridlock. They don’t want partisan bickering. Today, the House Republicans once again staged a walkout and refused to do the job they were elected to do. This kind of political theater may be normal in DC, but it doesn’t belong in Oregon.”

Last week, the Oregon House passed two important bills to protect Oregon communities and strengthen fairness across our state. Together, these bills reaffirm our commitment to justice, stability, and dignity for every Oregonian. #orleg #orpol

The House has passed a bill ensuring Oregonians have a fair shot at homeownership. HB 4128 gives families a 90-day head start before large investors can purchase single-family homes, helping keep housing accessible and stable for working families across the state. #orleg #orpol #housing #home

House Democrats just passed HB 4114, sending a clear message: if you're operate in Oregon, you follow Oregon’s rules. Oregon is standing up for its communities and for the Constitution. #orleg #orpol

Oregon state representatives approved a measure Thursday that would prohibit a president from deploying another state’s National Guard to Oregon for law enforcement or immigration enforcement purposes without the Oregon governor’s permission.

Several bills take aim at the Trump administration’s immigration efforts, including one that restricts the use of masks on law enforcement agents, another than protects immigration status in the state's K-12 schools, another placing rules in hospitals and more.

Most consumer loans are capped at 36% interest, but predatory lenders exploited loopholes to inflate rates as high as 160% on more than 22,000 loans. HB 4116 would ensure stronger consumer protections and greater financial security for communities across the state. #orpol #orleg

The Oregon House has passed a bill ensuring a critical step so our schools remain safe, stable places to learn. This legislation helps give schools the tools they need to keep the focus where it belongs: on learning and opportunity. #orleg #orpol #safety #schools 1m

“I would love for every student’s biggest worry as they head out the door in the morning to be about their chemistry exam, after school try out, ... but for many students, academic worries are taking a back seat to the fear caused by immigration enforcement,” -Rep. Sarah Finger McDonald.

Rep. Nathanson was in the news this week! Did you catch her opinion piece in The Oregonian on Sunday? Worth a read: www.oregonlive.com/opinion/2026... #orpol #orleg

Oregon Democrats are on the brink of cutting taxes for more than 200,000 Oregon households, creating a $25 million tax credit for Oregon small businesses and protecting funding for education, health care and public safety. #orleg #orpol www.oregonlive.com/opinion/2026...

The Capital Chronicle reached out to more than a dozen House and Senate Republican lawmakers about immigration, most of whom were more reluctant to address the conduct of federal agents than leading gubernatorial candidates for the GOP’s nomination. #orleg #orpol

Two bills traveling through the Capitol aim to restore safety at schools and solidify Oregon’s sanctuary state policies. One would require schools to create an immigration enforcement alert system. The other would ban schools from discriminating against students based on immigration status.

“That family is here with us today. What should have been a moment of care and compassion became a moment of fear and separation, and yet through advocacy, persistence and love, this family is now back home and here in the people’s house.” - @rickiruizor.bsky.social
