I've successfully pressed Flock, a license plate surveillance company, to protect Oregonians from abusive queries of data by out-of-state law enforcement. This surveillance is a massive privacy problem, and I'll keep working to expand these same protections to every American.

Colonialism is when McKinley never set foot in Alaska and a gold prospector named the peak after him. Also when Ohio reps- who more than likely also never set foot/or spent time in AK- insist on naming Alaska’s geographies. Denali is the name, from Native Koyukon.

The American economy just added 256,000 jobs in December, and unemployment fell to 4.1%. Trump is inheriting one of the strongest economies for an incoming President in generations. And despite destroying our economy in his first term, Trump will try to take the credit for this boom. Don't let him.
