Two years ago, Oregon became the first state to decriminalize all drug possession with the passage of Measure 110. How is it going? We talked with Ron Williams with @HJRAOregon to find out. https://t.co/mxHM9jvWy6

[Jamie McLeod-Skinner for Oregon @JamieforOregon]

When I'm in Congress, you won't hear these denials anymore.

I'm running to lower prescription drug prices — because I'm only beholden to Oregonians.

[Jamie McLeod-Skinner for Oregon @JamieforOregon]

Last night I told Kurt Schrader: you can’t make excuses when you were the deciding vote to prevent prescription drug prices from coming down.

House music is bigger than ever in America, yet the story of its origins are widely unknown outside of a small group. Cee White was coming of age in Chicago in the late 80s right as house music was taking shape. He came on the program to talk about it. https://t.co/C1a6bHD1r8

Our members voted unanimously to endorse Oregon People's Rebate because COVID and inflation have hit the people of Oregon the hardest. Huge corporations making over $25M are clearly doing just fine, just look at the record profits on Wall Street. @OPR2022
