Donald Trump is trying to gut our democracy like he's gutting the East Wing– but neither of those are his to break. Use your voice! Tell the President, your representatives, governors, and secretaries of state: #FreeFairElections are our right as Americans, and we won't settle for anything less.

Supreme Court case to watch: The RNC is trying to stop Mississippi from counting ballots if they were filled out & mailed ON TIME but arrive after election day. Let's be clear: this isn't about election integrity. It's about rigging the rules & it could have a big impact on your right to vote.

We're not getting straight answers from the DOJ and DHS about what they're doing with your private voter data. I'm joining 9 other Secretaries of State in demanding the truth. Watch, share, and join the calls for accountability. https://bit.ly/4r55dY4

34 counties down, 2 to go! Big thanks to clerks Laurie Cates, Dag Robinson, and Tommy Gong for the great conversations, and to all 36 of Oregon's county clerks for working tirelessly to ensure each election is fair, free, secure, & accessible to every Oregonian.

It's Election Day, Oregon! Get your ballot in by 8pm TONIGHT (11/4), and whatever you do- don't forget to sign your envelope!

The United States Elections Assistance Commission (EAC) is supposed to build trust & bring integrity to our nation's elections. Commissioner McCormick betrayed that mission. I will not stand for it. Oregonians and all Americans deserve better. It's time for her to step down. https://bit.ly/439MP69

I attended the Government to Government summit in Coos Bay and heard that our state must do more to be a better partner with sovereign nations. Partnership begins with listening and showing up for Tribal communities, and I’m committed to continuing that work.

No American should go hungry because people in Washington D.C. are playing politics. I joined @tinakotek.bsky.social & leaders across Oregon in demanding that USDA to take action now to make sure 750,000+ Oregonians can put food on the table. bit.ly/3WrxcmH

Thank you @repdexteror.bsky.social for having me on your telephone townhall this week & thank you to the Oregonians who joined the conversation. Let's continue to stay engaged, stick together, and don't forget to VOTE- there's a special election on November 4th- have you filled out your ballot yet?

Portland is not a war zone, it's our home. While this administration continues to make a spectacle in an American city -- all to distract from their own failures, I want to remind you to stay focused and use your power: VOTE.

As we’re watching court battles over whether a president can send our own military into peaceful American cities, I know a lot of people are angry, frustrated, wondering what they can do. The answer is simple: VOTE. 🗽🗳️

Thank you to Vancouver Avenue First Baptist Church for inviting me to join you in serving meals to Oregonians. It was a great reminder that resilient communities are built through everyday acts of service and care. Oregonians: how are you showing up for your friends and neighbors?

Last night at Pitch Latino Portland, Latino entrepreneurs took the stage to share their business's impact and vision. It was an honor to celebrate their innovation and proclaim October 09, 2025 as Latino Entrepreneurship Day! Investing in small businesses like these is investing in Oregon's future.

Decades of service, scholarship, and civic engagement come together at the Academy for Lifelong Learning in Corvallis. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have spoken with this inspiring group about Oregon's voting system last week, and for the role they play in strengthening our democracy.

Cities are where government gets real, where the rubber meets the road, sometimes literally. That’s why I’m committed to being a true partner to our local leaders as we build a brighter future for Oregon together. Great to speak with the League of Oregon Cities last weekend!

Big thanks to the clerks in Morrow, Curry, & Klamath Counties for the warm welcome & great conversations last month. Their leadership drives Oregon's free & fair elections, protecting all citizens right to vote.

That marks 32 of 36 counties visited- Lake County, you're next!

National Voter Education Week is about your power as an American citizen: the power of your voice, your ballot, your choice. Make sure you are registered and have a plan to vote in the next election: there’s one on November 4, 2025. oregonvotes.gov/myvote

$10 million -- that's how much taxpayers could pay for this military deployment on American streets. We don't want or need this. Portland is a beautiful, peaceful city where people are just trying to live their lives, go to work, and raise their kids. https://bit.ly/3KASStW

Great to speak with Oregonians at the Salem City Club — I always leave rooms like this inspired by the care and passion people have for our state and our future. Thank you for having me!

Municipal recorders help preserve their communities' stories and keep local government running smoothly. I am grateful to the Oregon Association of Municipal Recorders (OAMR) for all they do, and for welcoming me to their conference.

Proud to join @wyden.senate.gov, Oregon House Speaker @repfahey.bsky.social, Oregon Senator James Manning, and Barbara Smith Warner to address recent attacks on vote-by-mail. We're standing up for Oregonians' right to accessible, secure elections. Our democracy is stronger when every voice is heard.
September 26, 2025 at 9:49 PM
Politics should never interfere with how we run elections. Our system of elections should be about trust, security, and making sure every lawful vote counts. That’s what we have in Oregon, and we intend to keep it that way.

The federal government is trying to intimidate us into handing over Oregonians’ private data. I took an oath to protect Oregonians’ rights and privacy, and I won’t let any president take them away.
