I'm in full support of the recall of Yamhill County Commissioner Lindsay Berschauer - and this video shows what I believe to be one of the most important reasons she must go. Without multi-level campaign finance reform, local politics will stay corrupt. #RecallLindsayBerschauer
Smoke from the #GameHogFire may affect Washington and Yamhill Counties as today progresses. Here is a forecast loop from one of our smoke models. The green lines indicate where smoke is expected near ground level (thus impacting air quality). #NWORWildfires2021
I'm grateful for progress being made around the world.
I'm grateful for everyone calling out racism, structural racism & discrimination.
I'm grateful for those who don't try to blame Black people.
🙏🏾Thank you. This was an important case.
#DerekChauvinTrial#GeorgeFloydTrial
Today we have a recognition that George Floyd's life had value & that his murderer won't walk free. Justice would be if George Floyd was alive today. As a labor movement, we must recommit to doing our part to dismantle structural racism.
For the record, a guilty verdict for Chauvin wouldn’t be justice for George Floyd or a sign that the system in any way works. It’d just be one instance of meeting the most minimal benchmark for a society. (ie, you can’t publicly murder a citizen in broad daylight with impunity)
How is this serving the people of Oregon? We all know where this is heading, the question is - when will we, the voters of Oregon, put a stop to the undemocratic tactics of the Republican party? #RememberThisIn2022#VoteThemOut#VoteForRepresentativesWhoShowUp
🚨ALERT: Oregon Supreme Court GRANTS lawmakers more time to draw new district maps, citing delays in the census data needed to complete redistricting. The case is a preview of how the late data will affect the redistricting process across the country. https://t.co/XeBxzvmzod
I refuse to allow your overwhelming and indisputable facts to impact my excitement for listening to a computer calmly read bills that slows down our work for strategic partisan gain. The nerve...
I am Trans.
I am a Doctor.
I am a Military Officer.
But importantly,
I am a Pediatrician.
I am visible to let all Trans Youth know that I am here and will keep fighting until healthcare is accessible for all of us, but especially them.

I ordered all flags at Oregon public institutions to be flown at half-staff to honor and remember the victims of the shooting in Atlanta. This violent attack and the rise in racist hate crimes against Asian communities are absolutely unacceptable and must stop. #StopAAPIHate
Everyone deserves equal protection under the law. As a mother of a nonbinary child, I shouldn’t have to worry if they are being treated fairly.
Passing the #EqualityAct in the House gets us one step closer to protecting basic civil rights for everyone.
This is unexpected: The Senate Republicans are refusing to show up to a Senate floor session today. That means the Senate can't conduct business. The Republican objection has to do with COVID-19 restrictions by Gov. Kate Brown, not Democratic senators. #orleg#orpol
The Senate Republicans have done what they do best, refused to work. Oregon is in the middle of a pandemic after back-to-back environmental crises and Republicans have decided to #WalkOut. #orleg#orpol#NoWorkNoPay
