In 2022, a majority of Oregonians voted to bring an end to obstructionist walkouts. In 2023, “a majority of Oregonians support the measures that Republican and Independent lawmakers are stalling.” @ORSenateGOP: it's time to get back to work. #orpol #orleg koin.com/news/politics/orego…

ICYMI: An unofficial @ORSenateGOP "committee" went about as you'd expect for no-show @SenatorKnopp: "people in the room stood up one after the other to tell Republicans to stop staging a tantrum over bills they don’t like and get back on the job." #orleg oregonlive.com/politics/2023…

Since Roe was overturned violent threats against abortion providers have spiked in Oregon. The Reproductive Health & Access to Care Bill (HB 2002) helps protect providers' physical safety. This has always been about providers being able to do their jobs. #orleg #orpol
