Soccer is magical. If you've ever been to Timbers or Thorns game, then you know the joy and energy of being surrounded by your fellow fans and rooting for your team’s success… it’s electrifying.
Thanks to FIFA, Swire Coca-Cola, Portland Timbers, and FIFA legend Gilberto Silva for a fun morning!

We've been running safe, accurate, fair elections in Oregon by mail for more than 25 years. This latest Executive Order on elections isn't about election integrity. It's about politics.
The Constitution is clear: states run elections. We’ve already beaten the president twice in court when he tried to push that boundary and meddle in elections. We're ready. #orpol

The Supreme Court is deciding whether or not to block states from counting ballots that were legally cast by eligible voters by Election Day simply because they arrived late through the mail.
The President just signed an exec. order that would allow him to create a list of who gets to vote by mail... and who doesn’t. That's not how we run elections in America: Our founders wrote the Constitution specifically to prevent one man from having that much power.

The Constitution is clear: states run elections. For decades, Oregon has run safe, accurate, and fair vote-by-mail elections that are the gold standard for protecting Americans’ freedom to vote.
The President's latest Executive Order is another desperate, illegal power grab. The Constitution is clear: states run elections. We don’t need decrees from Washington D.C. My message to the President: we’ll see you in court.

Trump and Republicans are attempting to suppress Americans’ sacred right to vote.
RSVP to join me, @morelle.house.gov, @orsecretaryread.bsky.social, and Marion County Clerk Bill Burgess to hear how we’re defending that right at all levels of government.
Secretary Tobias Read stands at a podium with a microphone, delivering a speech. The text on the image reads: "Our democracy is stronger when more citizens’ voices are heard. Legal votes cast on time should be counted. No citizen should lose their right to vote because of delays at the post office." The image is attributed to the Oregon Secretary of State, Tobias Read.

I had the chance to visit Deschutes County and County Clerk Steve Dennison to talk about how we can better support eligible Oregon voters and the elections process. I can't say it enough, our county clerks are the true heroes of our democracy. Thanks for your time!
I recently toured Ridgeview High School in Redmond, Oregon, answered questions and spoke with two government classes about elections, voting and my role as Secretary of State. Thanks for your time, and congratulations to the first time voters!

Smith Rock State Park has some of the most scenic views in our beautiful state. With more than 250 state parks, Oregon has so much to explore!
Running for public office is a leap of faith in the quiet power of people joining their talents, their hopes and their hard work to help Oregon rise to its full promise. Thank you for choosing to lead, for investing in the future of this state and for helping carry Oregon’s promise forward.
There's so much to be excited about at Beaverton High School—the progress they're making on student completion rates, their expansive CTE programs, the connections they're making with students, and the exciting new building that will welcome students next year. Thanks for the tour!
There is literally no evidence that this is a problem that is affecting any outcome of any election. Non-citizen voting is vanishingly rare. That is not a crisis. #orpol

Why are they trying to create barriers that would stop Americans from voting? It's simple: the president knows he's wildly unpopular, and he's afraid the people will have their say. #orpol

Congress is considering the SAVE America Act, a bill that would throw voter registration in every state into chaos in the middle of a major election cycle. Lawful citizens will be blocked from voting if this passes.
Read my piece with @repbonamici.bsky.social: bit.ly/4rAjzyz
Donald Trump said the SAVE Act will, in his words, “guarantee the midterms.” But in America, elections are not supposed to be guaranteed for anyone. Not for Republicans. Not for Democrats. Not for presidents. The voters decide.

I want to take a moment to make something clear: your vote is secure in Oregon. In Oregon, your vote is protected, your voice is respected, and our democracy is defended.
This so-called SAVE Act has nothing to do with election security. It’s about putting new barriers between eligible American citizens, voters and the ballot box.

When we stand up together, we win. I joined Senator @wyden.senate.gov & voter rights advocates for a press conference in Portland to denounce the so-called SAVE Act & any legislation intended to add barriers between American citizens & your right to vote. We will continue to fight voter suppression.
Thank you to all the hardworking TriMet employees and the many public transit workers across the region who keep Oregon moving. I had the opportunity to ride along and see firsthand what's going on on the ground. Thank you for the opportunity to listen.
