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

Good to hear prospective @trailblazers.bsky.social owners plan to stay. But we all know this is bigger than 🏀. Oregonians are loyal — we show up for our team. How do you want to see these new owners show up for us? www.oregonlive.com/sports/2025/...

SCOOP: Oregon's secretary of state declined to meet with DOJ prosecutors to discuss a potential deal to share private voter data with the federal government. He said he has no interest in sharing data with “an administration that is willfully violating judicial orders.”

“As a dad, I know quality child care is hard to find, much less afford, which is why it’s frustrating when programs like this aren’t delivering as much as they can." - Oregon Secretary Read.

Every Oregonian deserves a chance to succeed, no matter where they live. Secretary Read attended the Eastern Oregon Economic Summit to hear from local entrepreneurs and share information about programs we offer that directly help rural businesses grow.

“Had these dollars been better spent, we could’ve helped 100 more kids.” — Oregon Secretary of State, on why it’s critical for the Department of Early Learning and Care (DELC) to implement the @oregonaudits.bsky.social recommendations. Learn more here: www.kgw.com/video/news/l...

“When I was sworn in as Oregon’s Secretary of State this January, I made one promise above all else: to keep our elections safe, accessible, and secure.” — @tobiasread.bsky.social Now, he’s warning how Trump’s team is turning conspiracy into policy. Read in The Roadmap:

Kids in Minnesota woke up without parents this morning. Fear and grief are gripping the hearts of friends and loved ones. People are scared that they will be killed for their political values. It's not enough to say "enough." (1/2) www.oregonlive.com/news/2025/06...

Democracy wins. Glad to see our judicial system continuing to stand up to President Trump's power-grabbing executive order. No eligible voter should be denied the right to hold politicians accountable, full stop. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Like so many of you, I’ve been watching as the President causes chaos in California and across the country, and I have to say that enough is enough.

Had a great time at @omsiedu.bsky.social last night. Get 'Out There' and watch the new film about our incredible National Parks.

Grateful to honor those who gave it all for our country this Memorial Day. Great to see Senators Neron Misslin, Reynolds, Representative Watanabe, and Commissioner Treece at today's festivities!

Get your ballots in! The May local election is quickly approaching—the deadline to put your ballot in a drop box is Tuesday, May 20th at 8 PM.

5 yrs ago today I testified before Senate Finance to talk about OregonSaves, the first state-sponsored IRA program for workers w/o a retirement plan in the US. Today, over 134k Oregonians have saved over $353M through this program. I'm excited to watch it continue to grow in the yrs to come.

Happy Mother's Day to the incredible moms out there. I'm really grateful for the mothers in my life: This photo is of my wife and my Mom, but my mother-in-law is also a strong influence. (1/5)

Ellis and I had a great time watching the @thornsfc.com take down first place Orlando today. Get out and support your local sports teams! #baon

We're less than a week away from ALS Northwest's 2025 ALS Walk in Salem. Advocacy on this issue has been a long and personal journey for me. The t-shirts in these photos from 2010 honored my dad, who died from ALS. Sign up to attend here: secure.alsnorthwest.org/site/TR?fr_i...

President Trump's executive order restricting access to elections is harmful policy that I am proud to stand up against. Our states need to run fair, accessible elections without federal interference. #orpol kobi5.com/news/us-and-...

Some shots from my recent road trip to visit Central Oregon election offices. Made stops in Jefferson, Sherman, Gilliam, Wheeler, Crook, and Deschutes counties to catch up their Clerks. Oregon’s beauty and its dedicated public servants never cease to amaze! #orpol

@steveinskeep.bsky.social was excellent last night at the Oregon Historical Society’s Hatfield lecture. Takeaways: sustained attention is underrated, listen more, and respect the institutions of our republic. #nerddatenight

Felt good to stand up for and alongside so many Oregonians at today's rally. We will keep speaking out as long as democracy is in danger!

@booker.senate.gov is the inspiration we need right now. Thank you Senator for your leadership!

Voting from home gives every Oregonian a fair, secure chance to hold politicians accountable—and it saves Oregonians money and time too. Always happy to speak with @koin6.bsky.social about our election system.

After Trump signed an executive order to reshape elections, Oregon Secretary of State @tobiasread.bsky.social warns this will make Oregon elections “less safe.” Our conversation here: #Oregon #orpol

Trump’s latest executive order on voting threatens to disenfranchise millions of voters. As Oregon Secretary of State @tobiasread.bsky.social put it: this illegal action against American democracy will be challenged, and it will not stand.

Today was a beautiful morning for a walk in Medford! I spent the last two days visiting Southern Oregon and meeting with county clerks and local business leaders to learn how to support them better.

Even daylight savings time couldn't keep me from watching our son's soccer game this morning. Get out and enjoy the sun while you can!

Had a great time at the Hatfield Lecture Series last night listening to Lindsay Chervinsky. Very grateful for these monthly opportunities to learn about what we can draw from history to inform current thinking.

Enjoyed talking with Ken Boddie from KOIN yesterday for Eye On Northwest Politics! Listen to our conversation here: www.koin.com/video/oregon...

I never liked peanut buster parfaits as much as my Dad did but the tradition of honoring his birthday continues. On what would have been his 78th birthday - and everyday, I miss him.

Happy National Pet Day to our sweet dog Chata!

Heidi and I went to another great Hatfield Lecture Series event, this time with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones as the featured guest. She very eloquently said that "if the arc of history is to bend toward justice, it will be because we bend it." #nerddatenight

Sunny January Sunday. Let's go for a ride!

On January 6th, I was honored to begin the important work of protecting our democracy and rebuilding trust in the Secretary of State’s office. Please follow me here to learn more about our efforts. #orpol

I touched on this theme in my swearing in, but Hughes writes it more eloquently: “The coming year will undoubtedly test us in new & unexpected ways, but we need to remember to be tolerant of our differences & celebrate the incredible diversity of our state." www.dailyastorian.com/opinion/colu...
