The rumors were true! The rumors weren’t true! To find out what’s really true about my next steps in service to the mission that launched my campaign, in my own words, please watch this video of my press conference today.

@OregonHouseGOP So true. Help people recover and find true success in recovery!!!@

[Oregon House Republicans @OregonHouseGOP]

Our bill will finally undo the disaster that is Measure 110. Oregonians have suffered the costs of increased substance abuse, homelessness, and crime. The majority party inflicted this on Oregon, Republicans are ready to fix it.

[Christine Goodwin @rep_goodwin]

Drug addiction thrives in an environment with no obstacles. That's what Measure 110 created.

I agree with the majority of Oregonians who say it's time to repeal this failed experiment!

1st Amendment Rights of citizens are being threatened in the State of Oregon.

My @OregonHouseGOP colleagues and I signed a letter to the @OregonSOS demanding an immediate halt to the implementation of a UK-based, AI company to "combat misinformation" about Oregon elections. This company (Logically), uses AI to develop counter-narratives and then reports to and urges social media platforms to suppress users if the SOS deems our speech in violation.

We have seen censorship like this play out on a national level by the Biden Administration against American citizens such as @DrJBhattacharya, and we will not stand by while the Oregon SOS attempts the same infringements.

Pleased that so many of my House Republican colleagues joined me in this call to protect the 1st Amendment rights of Oregonians from government overreach.

“Secretary Griffin-Valade:

We call on you and your office to immediately halt implementation of the "Misinformation, Disinformation, and Mal-information (MDM) Analysis Platform Services" Contract (IT Services Contract per Bid Solicitation S-16500-00007470). We have learned that the purpose of this system is to continually monitor and actively manipulate the free speech of Oregonians. We believe that this system as described in the Request for Proposal (RFP) violates Oregonians' First Amendment rights.

Logically (https://t.co/sdjmezibWr), a UK-based company, was awarded the MDM contract last month. As detailed in the RFP (link here), the system will ".. identify and mitigate harmful information online as it relates to elections (mis-, dis-, and mal- information, or "MDM")." The Logically system will monitor Oregonians' social media posts for MDM on a nonstop basis and use artificial intelligence to "identify perceived threats" and "recommend countermeasures", including promoting an Al-generated counter-narrative to Oregonians' speech. The system will also report anything it determines is a possible threat or constitutes speech that "violates community guidelines and or policies of different sites to those social media platforms. It will report "urgent information" to the FBI and State Police.

The problem is that the state will determine which content is labeled MDM. Also concerning is how such determinations will be made and by whom. These terms and processes are not defined either in the contract or in any Oregon statute. Instead of focusing on the primary role of ensuring confidence and transparency in Oregon's elections, the Secretary of State's Office has chosen to monitor and encourage the censoring of citizens who voice legitimate concerns, some of which may question government practices or policies, on public platforms such as social media.

We reject the idea that any elected official or agency has the authority to constantly surveil, track, and attempt to suppress or manipulate the free speech of Oregon's citizens. We urge the Secretary of State's Office to halt implementation now and we call on the Legislature to address this pressing Constitutional issue during the 2024 session. Oregonians deserve a transparent government that prioritizes service to its people. Our government should never use secretive processes and AI programs to tip the scales by suppressing some citizens and augmenting only those who voice consensus with the state. Using artificial intelligence in this manner does nothing to improve confidence or security in our elections; instead, it will deepen the ongoing divide we are all working to heal.

We look forward to your reply.”

Other #orleg news: State Rep. @morganlily will resign in the next few weeks to become city manager of Gold Hill, a small former mining town in southern Oregon. Glad she carved out a few minutes between two lengthy committee hearings today to talk with me!

Shout-out to Representative Morgan (R-Grants Pass) & Representative Helfrich (R-Hood River) for chief sponsoring this critical, bipartisan legislation. House Bill 2645 is an important first step in reforming Oregon's drug laws. #orleg #orpol

Yesterday, the @Oregonian Editorial Board highlighted several realities about House Bill 2002. 1) It jeopardizes parent rights, 2) It changes current Oregon law - despite Democrats pretending it doesn't, and 3) More input around the bill is needed. #orleg #orpol

Today, despite House Republicans raising significant constitutional issues against House Bill 2005 B, House Democrats passed their omnibus gun control bill. In response, House Republicans have pledged $25,000 dollars towards the inevitable litigation. #orleg #orpol

We know that armed security is a deterrent. If State Legislators deserve it at the Capitol, then our students across the state certainly do. House Republicans will continue to elevate this conversation. #orleg #orpol

Powerful words in the @Oregonian. It is clear, our current policies are NOT working - something MUST change. #orleg #orpol

Bad Oregon policies = decline in population.

Decline in population = declining state revenue.

Declining state revenue = fewer public investments.

Deputy GOP Leader Boshart Davis (R-Albany), a mom legislator, on the failed passage of the Safe Schools Package:

"Budgets reflect priorities. If you ask me, there is nothing more priceless than the safety of schools... This mom, too, demands action." #orleg #orpol
