I will be on @DrPhil Primetime tonight talking about the failure of Measure 110 and decriminalization in Oregon. You can watch for free online: https://t.co/kSx4hgc9rL #orpol#orleg
Today, Senate Republicans pay tribute to the men and women in blue who sacrificed their lives is order to protect and serve their fellow Oregonians. We pray for comfort for families of the fallen on this #PeaceOfficersMemorialDay.
As a result, in a 2023 poll by Emerson College Polling, Oregonians said they wanted to repeal decriminalization, which is what they’ve done. It’s a lesson and approach we should follow here in British Columbia.”
Even in liberal Canada, Canadian elected officials are recognizing the mistake of decriminalizing hard drugs and are looking at Oregon as the example to recriminalize those same hard drugs. #orpol#orleg

“As Oregon State Senate Minority Leader Tim Knopp said, it turned out to be a free-for-all of public drug use, increased fentanyl and opioid overdose deaths, and Oregon seen as a national dumpster fire. #orpol#orleg
Thank you, Rep. @MatthewGress for your kind welcome and for sharing about the devastating, negative impact of the Democrats failed border policy. #orpol
I was pleased to welcome a delegation of the Oregon Legislature to Arizona.
They will be touring our southern border in Yuma with Supervisor Lines @JWLines and will see the humanitarian and public safety tragedy of our wide open and unprotected border.
Today, every state has become a border state because of inattention and inaction by the federal government.

This bill was the result of a truly bipartisan effort which included 48 co-sponsors. A huge thank you to Sen. Manning (D-Eugene) for co-chief sponsoring the bill and for all of his hard work to get it over the finish line!
Last week, the Governor signed my bill, SB 1579, the Children’s Health and Safety Equity Act.
The bill increases access and services to rural communities, historically marginalized populations, drug endangered children, and children who have been trafficked. #orpol#orleg

“Any state should look at what actually happened in Oregon and the disaster it was and not move in that direction,” Oregon Republican Senate Minority Leader @SenatorKnopp told The Post.

I am saddened by the passing of Dick Higgins, a true hero who brought so much light into the world and touched many lives. Sending prayers to all impacted by this loss.
BREAKING NEWS: Dick Higgins, Bend's much-beloved and honored survivor of the Dec. 7, 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, passed away early today at the age of 102, his family has informed us. We offer deepest condolences to the family. https://t.co/90wtmjeFFi
Senate Republican Leader Tim Knopp of Bend vows to protect kicker refunds from effort by 'left-wing socialist-adjacent' group to keep it for government use - we also have the Oregon Center for Public Policy's news release on their study he's referring to. https://t.co/UleatofCjt
The kicker reinforces inequality. The kicker isn’t money taxpayers are owed but money the state did not think it would collect. It’s based a missed guess by economists about how the economy would do 2 years into the future. So why not share it equally? @OCPPnews
The socialist-adjacent Oregon Center for Public Policy (@OCPPnews) is leading yet another attempt to take the Kicker refund from taxpayers to grow state government and line progressive pockets.
Senate Republicans will continue fighting any and all attempts to take the Kicker. #orpol #orleg
