$700k in real estate money to defeat Jo Ann Hardesty; $1.2 million from “People for Portland” to overturn the will of the voters. We can either have a democracy or we can have our Oregon elections bought by a small & powerful band of interest groups. We cannot have both. #orpol

absolutely, when a heat advisory is issued, @Trimet should have free fares and no fare enforcement for ppl who are trying to find ways to stay safe from the heat! Let’s keep ppl safe and not wait until 100 degree weather… heat exhaustion occurs in the 90s too

Oregon should be at the leading edge of climate-safe investments. Rep. Holvey & I will be introducing a 2022 bill to disclose Oregon Treasury fossil fuel holdings so the public can clearly understand our state’s financial & climate risks #orpol #orleg

The risk of lawsuit pales in comparison to risks constituents face living next to Zenith oil facility. With one action @DanRyanPDX @BDSPortland can align itself with PDX residents and #StopZenith from bringing crude oil trains through our neighborhoods 1/1

Farmworker Overtime, HB 4002, passed the House and heads to the Senate! This is a historic opportunity to redress the exclusion of farmworkers from the 1938 Federal Labor Standards Act. Oregon farmworkers feed our state & deserve fair wages and equal treatment under the law.

#MyNameIs Khanh, which in Vietnamese means “beloved.” My parents named me Van Khanh (because Van is my mother’s name). This election I will vote for an inclusive democracy where all of our names and cultures are represented and honored. #Vote #Vote2020

This is Rep @IamTravisNelson , showing up to support @Liuna483 workers last weekend. Time and time again, he shows up and fights for workers rights, healthcare, climate, racial justice, and so much more... Which is why his constituents love him and MAGA trolls can't stand him.

Thanks to @JRamakrishnanOR for speaking w/ me about the near-doubling of cost projection for expanded freeways: “I think it’s important that we put forth a new guiding vision for our transportation, focusing on climate change & epidemic of traffic deaths."

PDX Street Response is good, & the people behind it are even better. @JH4PDX made this program politically possible & championed even when it wasn’t popular or “proven” enough for council. Reward & re-elect people who fight for what’s right. Vote by May 17!

It's time for Oregon to align our legislature with 46 other states and the US Congress by having a simple majority requirement for our legislators to get to work and end the shutdowns and walkouts once and for all. #orpol #orleg

Speaker . @TinaKotek was instrumental getting this 82nd Ave win. We’ll need her leadership in the Gov office to get the same level of investment for deadly corridors Powell (OR-26), TV Hwy & Hall Blvd in WashCo, US-30 in Hood River, US-20 in Corvallis, & more #orpol #OregonVotes

The Portland City Council today unanimously approved the transfer of 82nd Avenue from the state to city. City leaders plan to spend millions to make the “orphan highway” safer.
