Trump tried to deploy the Oregon National Guard to Portland’s streets. We stopped him. He tried to cut food assistance. We stopped him. Now he’s attacking our right to vote by mail. We’re not backing down.

Most consumer loans are capped at 36% interest, but predatory lenders exploited loopholes to inflate rates as high as 160% on more than 22,000 loans. HB 4116 would ensure stronger consumer protections and greater financial security for communities across the state. #orpol #orleg
The events of the last two days—not to mention the last year—have shown us all that Donald Trump’s federal immigration forces are not making our communities safer or more secure. They are tearing families apart, terrorizing neighborhoods, and injuring and killing community members.

BREAKING: We’re announcing an EXPANDED 2026 Target Map – and a $50 million budget! – to deliver new majorities, trifectas, and increased power for Democrats across the map 🧵 DLCC.org/TargetMap
Gov. @tinakotek.bsky.social has stepped up with real leadership when Oregon families needed it most — from tackling housing affordability, to defending SNAP benefits, to standing up to Trump's attempts to send the military into our streets. I'm proud to support her re-election campaign
There is no mistaking where Oregonians stand: we do not want federal troops on our streets. Oregon is our home, not a war zone or a military target, and our communities remain vibrant and secure.
I'm heartbroken for their family today. And for our democracy, that this dark place is where years of inflammatory rhetoric & political divisiveness have led us. And for all of us who do this work to try to make our communities and our states a little better, especially in this moment in our history
I am just horrified to wake up to the news of the assassination of Melissa Hortman & her husband Mark. Melissa was the longtime Speaker / Dem. caucus leader in the Minnesota House, and she served on the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee board with me (1/2)

(1/3) Excited to announce that I've been elected to serve on the DLCC Board of Directors! The DLCC works to build Democratic majorities in state legislatures across the country — those majorities are key to how we fight back effectively against the Trump administration’s chaos

In 100 days, Trump's policies have significantly harmed Oregonians. The consequences of these actions are severe and widespread. House Democrats are doing everything we can to fight back. It's time to hold this administration accountable and demand a future that uplifts all Americans. #Trump100Days
