I fought in the courts to make sure unlawful actions could not happen. 100 days later, the troops went home — not only Oregon troops, but California troops — and we averted a disaster.

The new rules institute additional administrative barriers that will lead to people losing their healthcare.

One-third of Oregon families — including seniors, disabled Oregonians, and children — rely on Medicaid, which is the Oregon Health Plan.

I am working hard. We have new job openings that are coming in the life sciences sector that my opponent just seems to ignore, as if nothing is happening.

I think we all understand who’s supporting who in this race.

This award is a critical investment in the North Coast’s ability to be resilient in the face of disasters.

This funding is one more win for providing more affordable housing and supportive services for Oregonians with disabilities and their families.

A 66% reduction in unrepresented defendants is a turning point. The work is not done, and we will keep striving for improvement until every person needing counsel has an attorney.

When people charged with crimes go without counsel, justice is delayed for defendants and for the communities harmed by crime.

I want to be very clear. Gender-affirming care is health care. Period, end of story.

In the wake of national, systemic shortcomings in meeting the needs of women who are incarcerated, I am resolved to confront these issues head-on.

“We have to be intentional here, to be competitive.”

If we’re going to have data center growth, and I think we should over time, it’s got to be right.

Oregonians have made it clear that data centers need to pay their fair share, commit to clean energy, and monitor their energy and water usage.

People are pretty tired. We have people who have been doing this for 35, 45, 50, 60 days.

Do not start a fire. We’ve got a lot of people out fighting fires across our state.

If you’re camping or doing anything on your property, please be fire safe.

It’s really horrifying to see the type of fire damage that’s already occurred.

There are promising indicators in today’s forecast, but too many Oregonians are struggling to make ends meet.

President Trump’s directive to the United States Postal Service is unconstitutional and an assault on our democracy and designed to silence voters.

Here in Oregon, we always have competitive races for governor. We always have.

Being a governor right now means protecting our state, defending our values against an overreach of a federal administration that does not care about people fundamentally and so that is a big part of my job right now.

That’s why President Trump’s cuts to food assistance were so cruel, and why I fought back so hard. … I will always stand up to Trump and anyone else to protect Oregonians.

This decision is about my responsibility to make sure state actions reflect Oregon’s values and serve the public interest.
