From a verified voter in Bandon, ORHi, I am an elementary school educator, parent, and concerned citizen. I am deeply concerned about recent cuts to the US Department of Education and how these cuts may affect funding for Oregon public schools.

From a constituent in Lake Oswego, ORProtect Oregon's Vote by Mail
Oregonians are counting on you to protect our vote by mail. This safe, secure way to exercise our right to vote must not be bullied out of law. Oregon leads the country on this initiative, and must remain doing so. Fight with your voice and influence to ensure vote by mail remains in tact.
From a verified voter in Hillsboro, ORBan algorithmic rent pricing to promote housing affordability
The algorithmic pricing tools used by landlords and property managers are exacerbating Portland's housing crisis by artificially inflating rents and reducing affordability.

Oregon’s PERS system must divest from Tesla. Investments from Oregonians in Tesla only enrich and bolster Elon Musk, an unelected man who is throwing up a nazi salute and recklessly dismantling the federal government. Oregonians are already getting hurt because Elon is destroying agencies and firin

From a constituent in Salem, ORSupport HB 3652 to limit K-12 class size!
I'm fortunate as a community college science instructor. My class size is limited to 24 students by the number of seats we have in lab. Not so in the K-12 schools.
