Tina Kotek: “Oregon asks for the Utah clock.”

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.

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.

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

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.
