Gov @tinakotek.bsky.social, veto HB 4018: it creates loopholes, undermines voter‑approved limits by annualizing caps, carving out corp affiliates, and delays public tracking. Signing it would preserve avenues for wealthy donors and corp networks to skirt limits and weaken transparency. #orpol #orleg
AG Rayfield limit loopholes w an opinion to narrows terms like affiliate, created to evade, and coordination. coordinate binding guidance with SOS, prioritizing investigations & enforcement against evasion schemes, ask whether provisions conflict with the 2020 voter amendment. #orleg #oregon #orpol
meanwhile the good Oregon Speaker, oversaw negotiations that excluded many reform advocates and accepted language creating loopholes. Shame.

the bs 2026 “technical fixes” bill loosened the 2024 reforms by creating practical pathways for donors and corporate affiliates to multiply contributions and by delaying transparency — outcomes reform groups say will preserve the influence of big money despite the 2020 voter mandate. #orleg #oregon
It is extra unfortunate that Oregon Democrats have failed to fund transit & cut investment in bicycling/rail as a fuel crisis begins
There are transportation alternatives Oregon should have invested in, but they took every opportunity to support cars above all

Immigration raids. Budget shortfalls. Record-low snowpack. Oregon’s 2026 session proved to be a challenge for lawmakers. But as federal climate protections vanish, did our leaders hold the line? Read our take on the wins & missed opportunities: www.climatesolutions.org/article/2026... #ORpol #ORleg
Former #Portland Trail Blazer / Wealth Management dude, Chris Dudley gets $1 million from #PhilKnight in his latest attempt to buy an #Oregon Governor.
It makes sense, Dudley is considered a mod GOP with business acumen. Only: he doesn't know jack about #orpol.

Oregonians are spending hundreds of millions of dollars subsidizing data centers, even though there is no better location for them. Enough is enough, says Dirk Knudsen!

4/4 It protects funding for schools, health care, hunger relief & public safety by closing loopholes that mostly benefit the wealthy and large corporations. In short, it lowers taxes for working families and provides support for local jobs & a stronger foundation for vital services. #ORleg #ORpol
3/4 This session we focused on balancing our budget, growing our economy, & helping make life more affordable for Oregonians. SB1507 cuts taxes for over 200,000 working households & gives a $25 million tax credit to businesses that create good-paying jobs in Oregon. #ORleg #ORpol
2/4 Because Oregon’s tax code is automatically tied to the federal code, those changes hit our state budget too—blowing a $900 million hole in the budget without any from from Oregonians or the legislature. #ORleg #ORpol
1/4 Last year, Pres. Trump signed a budget bill that gave huge breaks to billionaires and big corporations, while cutting funding for people who rely on Medicaid and food assistance. #ORleg #ORpol

4/4 These programs are reaching students across the state, and many districts are partnering with community organizations to make sure even more students can participate and succeed. Consistent, evidence-based investments in education matter. #ORleg #ORpol
3/4 Nearly 30,000 students participated in summer programs in 2025, and most showed real learning gains. That’s exactly what this funding was meant to do: deliver measurable results for kids, families, and communities. #ORleg #ORpol
