I know it is hard to know what information to trust with all the information and misinformation we experience in our lives today, especially during a presidential election. Yours is a difficult job to sort through it all to make an informed decision. And while I know it is hard, I know you can and will do it. We recognize that with unlimited sources of information it can be challenging to find informa- tion that is accurate and trustworthy. Fortunately, there are some simple questions you can ask yourself to help identify misinformation: 1) Is there any data or evidence presented to support the information? 2) Does this information seem designed to push my political buttons? 3) Is there something about this information that doesn’t seem right or too bizarre to be true? 4) Who is sharing this information? 5) Does this individual or group have an agenda? Be an informed voter and don’t believe everything you see or hear.

  • BIPOC Caucus Condemns Passage of Texas Abortion
    PRESS RELEASE OREGON HOUSE DEMOCRATS For Immediate Release For more information, Contact: Sep. 2, 2021 Hannah Kurowski: [email protected] CORRECTION: BIPOC Caucus Condemns Passage of SB 8, Calls for Protection of Abortion as Essential Health Care CORRECTION The following members of the BIPOC Caucus sign onto this statement: • Senators: Lew Frederick, Kayse Jama, James Manning • Representatives: Teresa Alonso Leon, Wlnsvey Campos, Andrea Valderrama, Mark Meek, Khanh Pham, Ricki Ruiz, Andrea Salinas, Tawna Sanchez SALEM, OR -- The Legislative Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) Caucus released the following statement after the Texas Governor signed into law Senate Bill 8 (SB 8) to ban abortions after six weeks, as well as encourages private citizens to act as bounty hunters: “Roe vs Wade enshrined reproductive health care as a constitutionally protected right. In Oregon, we have a long history of protecting reproductive rights and removing barriers to accessing abortion because we know abortion is healthcare. "If SB 8 remains in effect without intervention from courts, any abortion providers who remain operational are facing a crushing wave of lawsuits that they will likely be unable to litigate. This back-door ban presents harm to people facing severe restrictions on important health care protections. "BIPOC communities are most often forced to resort to unsafe abortions due to reproductive healthcare restrictions, a symptom of institutionalized white supremacy and patriarchy. SB 8 once again disproportionately takes away our constitutional right to make decisions about our own bodies as a worst case scenario, and forces those with the resources to travel across state lines for healthcare access as a best case scenario.

In addition to the standard policy and budget committees, the Oregon House of Representatives will have new committees in the upcoming session to address timely issues, including wildfire recovery, redistricting, institutional reform of the Legislature, as well as subcommittees focusing on COVID-19 response, equitable policing and the return of a policy committee dedicated to early childhood issues. “Oregonians are facing crises that demand urgent action. The House is ready to lead on the issues that matter most in people’s lives right now. We also need to create the space to have a focused conversation about long-term, transformational changes to modernize the people’s legislature,” Speaker Kotek said. “I’m grateful for the diverse perspectives that my colleagues will bring as we all work together to help Oregonians navigate the big challenges that lie ahead.” Speaker Kotek communicated directly with every returning and new member of the Oregon House of Representatives before deciding on committee assignments, taking the time to weigh and discuss their priorities, interests and notable experience. She also consulted with both caucus leaders before finalizing the assignments. The House will convene on Monday, January 11 to swear in members.

Citizens placed Measure 60 on the ballot through the initiative process and then overwhelmingly approved it at the 1998 General Election. Over these past 20 years, we have realized the benefits of increased access and ease of access to the ballot, higher voter turnout, and improved election security because of our first in the nation vote-by-mail system. Today, those benefits continue as over 2.7 million Oregonians will receive a ballot in the mail beginning on October 17. I would like to congratulate the voters of Grant County who had the highest voter turnout at the Primary Election this past May.

  • Legislator Letter of Support: Oregon Welcomes Refugees
    August 17, 2021 The Honorable Governor Kate Brown, Governor of Oregon 900 Court St NE Salem, OR 97301 Dear Governor Kate Brown: As Oregon state legislators, many with ties to refugee communities, we are compelled to speak out after seeing the chaotic scenes in Kabul this weekend. We join together to affirm that Afghan families are welcome in Oregon. We are calling for the safe passage for people from Afghanistan who are facing immediate threats to their lives and the lives of their families. What we are facing now is a humanitarian crisis, and we must meet this moment with the urgency it demands. Together, we call on the Biden administration to lift the refugee admission caps and take other emergency humanitarian actions that will save lives at this pivotal time. As a state, we must also take all the necessary steps to be prepared to resettle families when they arrive. Events in Afghanistan echo the departure of the United States from Saigon following the end of the Vietnam War. In 1975, the United States lifted refugee caps to allow more than 125,000 families to resettle in communities across the country. Since then, the United States has admitted more than three million refugees who have resettled in this country. Though refugees and immigrants have faced and continue to face significant barriers, they continue to demonstrate their dedication to serving the public and they add immense value to our communities. They are students, small business owners, neighbors, and community leaders. They are our friends and family. As Oregonians, we welcome vulnerable and displaced families seeking refuge from violence and oppression.
