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

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

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

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

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.

“States like Oregon have adopted shield laws to protect against these outside attacks, but with these increased attacks from the federal government and also incursions from other states, we’ve seen gaps.” - Rep. Lisa Fragala

IF lawmakers can hammer out an offer in the short session, and IF that offer is accepted, Abiqua Falls could be at the center of a new 200-acre state-owned recreation site.
