🚨 WORLD CUP PSA To help the public prepare for the emotional, physical, and productivity-related impacts of the FIFA World Cup, I have issued an Official World Cup Work Excuse. Disclaimer: This is a joke and for entertainment purposes only. Please don’t blame me if your boss says no. 😄

Looks like it will be Governor Tina Kotek vs Senator Christine Drazan, the rematch. Let the path to the general election begin!

"We stand by as children starve by the millions because we lack the will to develop a system to feed them. Yet we can create missiles which find the eye of a needle from thousands of miles away."

El proyecto de ley SB 599A ha sido aprobado en las cámaras de Representantes y del Senado con apoyo bipartidista. Esto garantiza que nadie sea negado de vivienda ni viva con temor a ser discriminado por su estatus migratorio o de ciudadanía.

SB 599A has passed the House & Senate floors with bipartisan support. This ensures that no one can be denied housing or live in fear of discrimination based on their immigration or citizenship status. It’s a step forward in protecting the dignity & rights of all Oregonians, regardless of background

Thanks to all who joined our Protecting Our Progress town hall with Majority Leader Bowman & Reps. @rickiruizor.bsky.social & @repwillychotzen.bsky.social ! We discussed how OR Dems are holding the line against the Trump administration's chaos. Watch here: #orpol #orleg

The decision to block undocumented students from TRIO programs is counterproductive. As a former TRIO student, I know how life-changing these programs are. That’s why I’m fighting for HB 2997 to expand college access in Oregon. Education should open doors, not close them.

The dismantling of the Department of Education is an outright betrayal of our most vulnerable students—children with disabilities, those from lower-income families, and those who depend on school meals. It strips away opportunity, stability, and hope. Our kids deserve better.

Today, Feb 3rd, marks A Day Without Immigrants in Gresham OR, a moment to recognize the resilience & contributions of our immigrant communities. I am grateful to everyone who participated & did so peacefully, and I hope those still out tonight keep things peaceful. Pics by @yami_visuals 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I had a conversation today with TRIMET, our Portland Metro public transportation service provider regarding news about ICE being in Max Platforms. Here is a summary of their latest policy statement:

In light of President Trump’s recent authorization permitting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to conduct operations in previously protected areas such as schools, churches, & hospitals, it is crucial to ensure the accuracy of any reported ICE sightings.

It's incredibly fitting, then, that I have the honor of representing what is shaping up to be one of the youngest cities in the nation while serving as the youngest legislator in the House of Representatives. www.oregonlive.com/trending/202...
