The president does not - and never will - have the power to regulate elections.
This is about control.
He knows his wars and harmful economic policies are unpopular, so he's now trying to control elections.
And we're fighting back. #orpol
AG Rayfield files lawsuit to protect vote-by-mail
“The United States Postal Service has one job: to deliver the mail. President Trump is trying to give it a second one — deciding which Americans get a ballot. That is not the postal service’s role, it is not the federal government’s role, and it is not constitutional. Trump has spent years weaponizing federal agencies to prop up his false story that fraud cost him the 2020 election. He votes by mail. Oregonians vote by mail. And Oregon will keep running its own elections.”
BREAKING NEWS: We filed a lawsuit challenging the president’s executive order that threatens vote-by-mail.
The Constitution gives states – not the president – the authority to run elections. Voting by mail is safe, secure, and trusted by Oregonians across the political spectrum for decades. #orpol

BREAKING NEWS: AG Rayfield wins court ruling protecting $39m for stable housing in Oregon
What happened: AG Rayfield just protected about $39 million for programs in Oregon that help keep people housed and lower their risk of returning to homelessness. A federal appeals court rejected the federal government’s request to put harmful restrictions on this HUD Continuum of Care grant funding – a win for Oregonians trying to get back on their feet.
"Stable housing is the foundation everything else is built on – work, health, recovery, and family. The people this program serves fought their way out of homelessness. They were rebuilding their lives. HUD’s restrictions would have taken that away, and today’s ruling stopped that from happening."
We just won a court ruling protecting about $39 million to help Oregonians stay in stable housing, and lower their risk of returning to homelessness.
This is a win for Oregon families trying to get back on their feet.

AG Rayfield demands that Kroger repay Oregon taxpayers for failed grocery merger attempt
“When federal enforcers step back, states step up,” said Attorney General Rayfield. “Recovering attorneys’ fees is one way Oregon can sustain that work – making it clear to corporations that when they push deals that harm consumers, they will be held accountable, and Oregon taxpayers won’t be left to foot the bill.”
AG Rayfield is taking action to get back more than $2.25 million in legal fees from Kroger — so Oregon taxpayers don’t have to foot the bill. Oregon DOJ successfully blocked the proposed $25 billion Kroger/Albertsons merger, which would have raised grocery prices and lowered wages for working families. Because the court sided with us, Oregon is entitled to have Kroger cover our attorneys’ fees and costs.
BREAKING NEWS: We’re taking action to get back $2.25 million for Oregon taxpayers.
We blocked a grocery merger that would have raised prices & lowered wages. Now, we’re entitled to get back our legal fees.
We’ll use this money to keep challenging monopolies & fighting for working families. #orpol

“Today, the Supreme Court heard arguments on whether a president can simply decide – by executive order, on his first day in office – to strip citizenship from children born on American soil. The answer, as court after court has found, is no.”
“Oregon joined this fight because we believe in the rule of law –and because we know who this order actually harms. It’s children growing up in our communities. Children attending our schools. Children who are, by every measure of our Constitution and our history, Americans. The president does not get to rewrite the Constitution by executive order. We are confident the Court will agree.”
The president cannot rewrite the Constitution and overturn birthright citizenship by executive order. We are confident the Supreme Court will agree.
