Just this week, the President said the U.S. should "nationalize" elections and called out Oregon specifically as a state he wants to meddle in. I've got one thing to say: Not on my watch.

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

The threats to our elections have been growing since January of last year, but this past week alone, the temperature started rising, fast and dangerous.

Thank you to the students, teachers and district staff for a fun and informative tour of Chehalem Valley Middle School and the district's BARR program. It was great to meet the educators and witness their collaborative and intentional approach to student success. Go Wolves!

Thank you to the @lwvus.bsky.social, not just for the invitation, but for the steady, patient work you do to strengthen our democracy. Let's keep going!

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Enough is enough.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Always check your facts: www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

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.

“ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media. The network used five-year-old footage… and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland.” The President’s portrayal of Portland was a manufactured story, the reality is a city rising.

As Thanksgiving week approaches, I’m grateful for the strength and resilience shown across Oregon this year. Community is what makes us stronger.

If you can survive the Trader Joe’s parking lot on a Sunday, you can survive anything.

Let’s do this! Please take a minute to support the community of Lebanon in its effort to secure a new grandstand at its high school. Voting ends October 24th. Vote at the link! #TMOBILE #LEBANON #GOWARRIORS

When we stand united, progress follows.

An important reminder to stay engaged and educated.

“War-ravaged” Portland is still as beautiful as ever.

Duck you, Trump.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

The President is looking for an excuse to unleash force on Americans in response to his critics. Please don’t give him an excuse. Exercise your rights by protesting peacefully.

See you in court.

The news out of Utah is horrifying. Violence is never the answer, and we should all be deeply disturbed that this pattern is growing - MN was just a few months ago. It doesn’t matter who started it. It’s on all of us to end it. The politics in this country are toxic and lives are in danger.

Sec. @tobiasread.bsky.social is right - Trump’s DOJ would rather chase conspiracy theories than protect Americans’ right to vote.

One theory, from Oregon SOS @tobiasread.bsky.social: “I think really what they’re trying to do is find the data — even though it doesn’t exist — to justify their conspiracy theories." www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...

Oregon voters! Avoid confusion, here's how to tell if you are receiving Official Elections mail from Oregon's official sources (or not). It's simple, there's an Official Election Mail logo! Swipe through to learn more ➡️

Vote-by-mail is secure, fair, accessible and accurate. A great piece laying this out from The Daily Astorian: https://dailyastorian.com/2025/08/21/editorial-keep-the-federal-nose-out-of-elections-2/

Great conversation with Stephanie Domurat on Straight Talk this week. We discussed what's at stake when vote-by-mail is under attack. Tune in to KGW on Sunday at 6:30pm or Monday at 7pm -- and here's the link for all the cord cutters: https://www.kgw.com/straight-talk

Let’s listen to the facts and continue to protect the voting rights of Oregonians.

I will continue to protect Oregon’s vote-by-mail system. Listen to my response to the Trump Administration on yesterday’s OPB “Think Out Loud” broadcast. www.opb.org/article/2025...

Eligible voters deserve access to voting methods that work for them. Single mothers, night workers, veterans, and disabled Americans rely on mail-in voting because it’s safe, secure, and accessible. Trump has no right to take that away.

Glad to have your support @RepDexterOR, we will not back down!

We are not backing down.

At least we know what Trump and Putin talked about in Alaska now. #orpol
