U.S. State Secretaries of State

We successfully defended Oregonians’ private voter information in federal court, and we’re working closely with county clerks across Oregon to strengthen election security.

This is not about improving elections. It’s about putting political pressure on the people responsible for administering them.

Markwayne Mullin doesn’t know what he’s doing, and neither does the DOJ given they’re 0-for-15.

Markwayne Mullin can go suck on a salt lick.

Attempts to spread misinformation and create distrust make people question a process that works and threaten to stop them from participating and voting.

The Administration lacks a fundamental understanding of how elections work.

We refute these claims.

Donald Trump’s attacks on our democracy are only accelerating, and the best way that I can serve our state and country at this moment is by focusing exclusively on my role as Secretary of State.

Disclosing New Mexico voters’ private data could carry very real and severe consequences for the personal lives of New Mexicans participating in our democratic process.

The single idea from Graham Platner that spoke most deeply to me is that he's right, the democracy that we thought we had has been deeply corrupted by those in power in Washington, the billionaires and the massive corporations.

Nobody deserves to get shot and killed in the streets when their three-year-old daughter is still in her pajamas.

I agree with Platner’s description that democracy in the U.S. has been corrupted by those in power.

I’ll do my homework.

There’s been a real rupture in the relationship between the federal government and the states over voter security.

That help has all but vanished.

It’s a good thing to ask tough questions of your government.

The democracy that we thought we had has been deeply corrupted by those in power in Washington.

This is all about 17-year-olds who are making decisions to select a college or university that will impact the trajectory of their entire lives.

Flipping the Senate in November is crucial. I’m running to pass Medicare for all, fight for workers’ rights, and protect our neighbors.

It’s time to get ICE off our streets

This is not acceptable in America. A young man, a dad, has been killed by ICE...This must stop. We need to get ICE out of the streets.

But this is at least the 11th fatal shooting involving ICE or Border Patrol under Trump. It’s time to get ICE off our streets.

That will not be easy. But I trust that leaders in this state have the conviction and the courage to do so, and that is what must happen.

This is such a terrible opinion. Election Day should mean just that.
