Love to see it. In the Oregon GOP primary for Governor, the J6 candidate is trying to claim credit for the anti-tax work of the anti-transgender candidate. Hopefully Oregon MAGA rips itself apart this next few months. It’s fun to watch. #orpol
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.

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.

At the Oregon DOJ, we are working to uphold Oregon’s laws and the Constitution every day.
And when anyone — including the president — steps out of line, we’ll see them in court. #orpol
Did you know? Oregon DOJ has a team that investigates internet crimes against children.
We’re working every day to keep communities safe – and here at Oregon DOJ, the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force focuses on investigating, prosecuting. and preventing the sexual exploitation of children on the internet. #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!

With drop of the gavel, I declared the 2026 candidate filing period closed and the beginning of the 2026 campaign season in Oregon! Thank you to everyone that filed to run for elected office for answering the call to public service. #orpol
AG Rayfield sues to stop unlawful data demand to colleges and universities
“This administration has already gone after our elections and a free press – now they're focusing on higher education. Independent universities are a cornerstone of a free society. Oregon's colleges and universities should answer to their students and their communities, not to a federal government, using surveillance and the threat of penalties to dictate how our institutions operate.”
AG Rayfield and multistate coalition are challenging the Trump administration’s new demand that colleges and universities provide new data about past and current students, disaggregated by race and sex. This rushed new requirement for the Integrated Postsecondary Education System (IPEDS) survey leaves colleges and universities vulnerable to inadvertent errors and unreliable data that could lead to costly penalties and baseless investigations into their practices. It also jeopardizes student privacy by requesting in-depth information about individual students.
BREAKING NEWS: We just filed a lawsuit to stop the Trump administration's unlawful data demand to colleges and universities. Read more about what happened. #orpol
👎 Under Trump's tax policies, the less income you have in Oregon, the worse off you are.

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

I went through hundreds of #orleg and #orpol candidate filings so you don't have to. Stay tuned to the @oregoncapitalchronicle.com as we roll out an issues-focused voter guide and profiles of key races ahead of the May primary.
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
2/4 More than three-quarters of schools reported students maintained or improved their reading and writing skills, and 80% of high school students in credit-recovery programs earned credits they need to graduate. #ORleg #ORpol
1/4 Last year, we made a major investments in literacy by locking in $35 million a year for summer learning programs across Oregon. It’s really gratifying to see those investments paying off. #ORleg #ORpol

State Sen. Dick Anderson, R-Lincoln City, decided not to file to run for Oregon's Labor Commissioner, despite creating a website for the purpose. (Anderson was hoping for a 1-on-1 race against Commish Christina Stephenson but another person was in the race). #orpol
No one is above the law - not even the president. If he wants to set tariffs, he must do so through Congress.
We will continue to hold the line. #orpol

Republican or Democrat. House or Senate. Eastern Oregon or the Oregon Coast. Our job is to represent Oregonians.
That's why last week the House passed a bill to ensure healthcare access on the Oregon Coast by guaranteeing funding for the Bay Area Hospital.
We're in this together. #orleg #orpol
I am proud of the work we accomplished this session, and looking forward to taking our next steps together towards the Oregon I know we can build. #abetterOregonispossible #orpol #orleg
