Our communities need small businesses, like Portland Cargo, to grow and thrive. That's why I meet regularly with business owners, large and small, to make sure we understand their challenges and where government can help them or stay out of their way. Thanks for all you do to uplift entrepreneurs!

It was such an honor to attend the mobilization ceremony for the Oregon National Guard's 115th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment and speak with our service members and their families. Wishing these brave men and women a safe deployment.

A federal judge extended the legal block against the Postal Service, essentially stopping them from illegally restricting vote-by-mail. This is an important win, and it reaffirms that our secure, fair, accurate vote-by-mail elections will go forward as they always do. #orpol

The USPS rules and the executive order they came from are unconstitutional. While the temporary restraining order against these rules is a win, we will continue to aggressively pursue every available tool we have to protect every Oregon citizen’s right to vote. #orpol #oregonnews

The November election is already underway. Now is not the time to change the rules. The USPS rule, like the executive order it arises from, is a clear attempt to make it harder for Americans to vote and undermine free, fair elections. It won’t work. #OregonElections #OregonVotes

Now is not the time to change the rules. The USPS rule, like the executive order it arises from, is a clear attempt to make it harder for Americans to vote and undermine free, fair elections. It won’t work." and a swipe for full statement.A gray graphic with the Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read logo and State of Oregon seal with text that reads: "The November election is already underway. Now is not the time to change the rules. The USPS rule, like the executive order it arises from, is a clear attempt to make it harder for Americans to vote and undermine free, fair elections. It won’t work.

The directive I issued yesterday instructs elections officials to proceed with running the next election as normal and according to Oregon law. If successful, this lawsuit will further protect our elections from illegal interference. Thank you to the Attorney General for his quick action to advance this critical work.

We will continue pursuing all available options to protect Oregon's safe, accurate, and fair elections."

Breaking news: the U.S. Supreme Court lifted the injunction blocking President Trump’s executive order that gives him power over who gets a ballot by mail through the Postal Service. We will continue fighting this overreaching executive order in court with the Attorney General.
