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.

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...

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

Always happy to speak with @koin6.bsky.social about our election system.

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.

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.
