Thank you to the
@OSFM
incident management team for helping with Hurricane Helene recovery in North Carolina. People helping people, that’s what it’s all about.
Thanks to everyone who gathered at Waldo Middle School to make 265 phone calls & write almost 300 postcards to encourage & appreciate school attendance. Let’s keep having conversations about the importance of regular attendance & establish good habits early in the school year!
A lot of folks may not know that if a child misses two school days each month, they’re missing 10% of the school year. And school attendance is a powerful predictor of success. We can’t say it enough –

First responders stand ready to come to the aid of Oregonians every minute of every hour of every day. Thank you to our police officers, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, emergency dispatchers, and all first responders who selflessly serve the public.
Voter intimidation or any criminal act to undermine the upcoming election is un-American & will not be tolerated. I commend the rapid response from
@MultCoElections
& law enforcement to ensure that OR voters can securely cast their ballots this election.
Thank you, President Biden, for apologizing for this terrible wrong. Our government hurt generations of Native Americans. We must never forget and we must strive to help heal the pain.
Union jobs are foundational to a thriving economy. When workers are able to meet their needs and the needs of their families, we all benefit. I have and will always support fair wages, strong benefits, and on-the-job safety.
Added treatment capacity is critical to building the behavioral health system I know is possible in Oregon. Every Oregonian should have access to services regardless of where they live or what they can afford.
Oregon’s Kid Governor and I wanted to share a quick message about taking care of your mental health. Let’s break down the stigma around mental health and give everyone the support they need.
@OregonSOS
Together, we’re taking action on tough challenges like treatment capacity. We won’t solve this overnight, but we now have the data to show meaningful progress to give our fellow Oregonians the help they need.
I have always been a champion for reproductive freedom, which is why I led the way to pass the nation’s strongest abortion access law. The decision to start or grow a family, and the autonomy to make your own health care decisions, are not the government’s business.
Every Oregonian should have access to health care regardless of where they live or what they can afford. Every added treatment bed means more Oregonians will get help when they need it.
We must grow the behavioral health workforce across the state to make sure our fellow Oregonians receive the care they need. I support any legislation that helps us expand the continuum of care.
Every Oregonian needs to be prepared for a disaster, whether it’s a wildfire, winter storm or an earthquake. Join me and the Oregon Department of Emergency Management in using the Great Oregon Shakeout to practice your plan.
Today we honor the rich and diverse heritage of Native American communities who have called this land home since time immemorial, including members of Oregon’s nine federally recognized Tribal nations.
#NationalComingOutDay
