A federal judge extended the legal block against the Postal Service, essentially stopping them from illegally restricting vote-by-mail. This is an important win, and it reaffirms that our secure, fair, accurate vote-by-mail elections will go forward as they always do. #orpol

Oregon, I am constantly energized by your passion for our elections! Thank you to the League of Women Voters of Deschutes County for all you do for the people of Central Oregon and for an awesome event.

There is a lot of uncertainty right now, and people trying to make voting harder or more confusing. Watch my press conference w/ @GovTinaKotek, @RonWyden & @SenJeffMerkley explaining how we're going to protect every eligible Oregonian’s right to vote: youtube.com/live/HhzJXUCZPP4…

Breaking news: the U.S. Supreme Court lifted the injunction blocking President Trump’s executive order that gives him power over who gets a ballot by mail through the Postal Service. We will continue fighting this overreaching executive order in court with the Attorney General.

Bottom line: Oregon’s elections are secure, accurate, and fair. They will proceed as planned this November, free from any illegal federal interference. We will stand up for Oregonians’ right to vote and run elections. #ORPol #OregonElections More: nyti.ms/4xi6k9n

Another attack on our elections: the President terminated the remaining 3 commissioners on the Election Assistance Commission less than 4 months from a major election. The President's decision to meddle in our elections is dangerous, it’s reckless, and, frankly, it’s desperate.

It's vital that our young people make their voices heard in our elections, because they will inherit the decisions that are made today. Thank you to all the @oregonstate student leaders who supported our voter registration drive on campus! #GoBeavs

This would deny eligible people the right to vote. Full stop. The president doesn't have the power to pick and choose who gets to vote. It’s absolutely clear in the Constitution: states run elections. #oregon #orpol

It was a pleasure to FaceTime supporters from across the state and thank them personally for their commitment to our campaign and to protecting our democracy. These conversations are a reminder of what we can accomplish together, and I look forward to speaking with more soon.

It's game time. Join me in voting in the Primary Election before the clock runs out. We’re less than 1 week from election day on May 19. The best ways to get your ballot in on time are to drop it off at an official drop box or return directly to your local county elections office
