I got my first union card at 16 when I started working at Albertson’s. That union job gave me good wages, health care & the security I needed to go to college. Proud to stand with union families & working people across Oregon on Labor Day and every day. When working people stand together, we win. 💪

Workers deserve a voice, a fair wage, and respect on the job. With SEIU by our side, we'll keep fighting for an economy that cares for people, not corporations. #TeamMaxine

Oregon's firefighters put their lives on the line to protect our communities. They deserve the resources, protections + support they need to do their jobs safely and come home healthy. I'm honored to earn the endorsement of the OSFFC and to stand with the workers who show up when we need them most.

I'm proud to receive the endorsement of @reproductivefreedomforall.org As a physician, I've seen how deeply personal healthcare decisions can be. I'll keep fighting in Congress to protect reproductive freedom and every person's right to make their own healthcare decisions.

Your healthcare decisions belong to you. I'm honored to receive the endorsement of the @ppact.org Planned Parenthood Action Fund. I'll keep fighting in Congress to protect reproductive healthcare and the freedom to make those decisions. Stay Loud.

Your healthcare costs shouldn't eat your raise. Employer health benefit costs are rising nearly twice as fast as wages. Lowering healthcare costs isn't just good healthcare policy, it's good economic policy. Stay loud. Source: BLS Employment Cost Index (Q2 2026)

Happy 250th Independence Day! 

America was never meant to be a finished product—it is a living promise to equal opportunity in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Today, I recommit to doing all I can to best fulfill my role in this most beautiful experiment.

Dr. Maxine Dexter @maxinefororegon.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
62 years ago today, this country chose to do better. The Civil Rights Act enshrined our commitment to every American having equal rights and opportunity. 

Today, that commitment is under direct attack by the far right. This November, we must defend it by flipping the House blue.

Parade season is the BEST season! I had so much fun yesterday at the Good in the Hood parade. Oregon's 3rd, your joy and spirit is infectious. This is the community we're fighting for. Register to vote and let's make sure our voices are heard this November.

Portland, you showed up today! I am honored to have marched with you at the Clara Peoples Freedom Parade and celebrate black joy, black resilience, and community. Let’s honor Juneteenth and advance the fight for justice and equity by voting this November.

Juneteenth is an enduring reminder of the fight for equity in this country — a fight that continues today. Freedom is not given, it is fought for. That struggle lives on every time we organize, show up, and vote. Oregon's Third, I am honored to stand with you.

Pride began as a protest, and today, that spirit matters more than ever. I proudly stand with the LGBTQ+ community in the fight for dignity, equality, & joy. We must protect trans youth & defend the right to love freely. Love is love, that is never changing. Happy Pride Month!

I recently stood in Montgomery AL where the fight for voting rights started for Black Americans. That fight isn’t over. Voter suppression & gerrymandering is spreading. Dems are fighting to take back the House in November & pass legislation that protects voting rights! STAY LOUD!

Dr. Maxine Dexter @maxinefororegon.bsky.social · 22/05/2026
Democrats cannot afford mistakes. We must WIN, not just the House, but the Senate and the White House, if we are going to create the country you deserve. Ken Martin needs an immediate action plan for how to fix this mess.

This bigotry has absolutely no place in our politics, and is deeply offensive and dangerous. I stand with Johnny Garcia and I encourage TX dems to vote for him. Americans deserve leaders who bring out the best in us. www.texastribune.org/2026/05/19/t...

In my first term, I’ve heard from all corners of this district — folks want to lower costs, end illegal wars & corruption, dismantle ICE, transform our healthcare system, and more. This election is about Oregonians coming together to demand better. I won’t stop fighting for you!

Dr. Maxine Dexter @maxinefororegon.bsky.social · 14/05/2026
There are 5 days left until the primary election! One of the best ways to stay loud is by voting. Don't wait — drop off your ballot at the nearest drop box or postmark it by Tuesday. Let’s win this, together!

Endorsement Round Up Pt.2! A union job gave me stability to work my way through college. Fighting for workers isn't just good policy for me — it's personal. I will relentlessly fight for more union jobs and stronger workers' rights. Our democracy is strongest when unions thrive.

Oregonians deserve a fighter in Congress. I'm running to help build an America we can be proud of. One that offers economic opportunity to all, makes healthcare accessible and affordable, builds a humane & dignified immigration system, & cares for our planet. We are just getting started. STAY LOUD!

The Voting Rights Act was born from the blood, work, & vision of the civil rights movement. It was a testament to the power of an inclusive, representative democracy — and the Supreme Court gutted it today. We will fight back with everything we have. www.opb.org/article/2026...

Children should never be in prison. I traveled to Texas to conduct oversight at ICE & ORR facilities and to ensure kids get the care they deserve. We must end child detention, keep families together, & dismantle ICE! I’m fighting for an immigration system that is fair and humane.

Last year Trump told Texas to draw him five new Republican congressional district in a desperate attempt to cling onto control of Congress. Everyday Americans fought back, and Virginia is the latest example. STAY LOUD for our democracy!
