Automatic Voter Registration is a big deal here in Oregon. Heads up to the newly-registered voters under AVR: it’s too late mail in your ballot—but you still have time to have your voice heard by using a drop box. ow.ly/11zu50C7FWL

In Oregon, we have 22 years of extremely secure voting by mail. In fact, in the last presidential election, voter fraud accounted for just 0.0001% of ballots cast here. Voting by mail is safe, secure, and accessible – what's not to love? myoregon.gov/2020/06/19/vote…

It is the right of every American to cast a vote and have that vote count. I stand with governors of WA, CA, MN, MI, WI, NJ, DE, NV, NM, & VA: we will not allow the corruption of the democratic process. We call on elected leaders from both parties to speak out loudly against it.

Knowledge is power when it comes to stopping the spread of COVID-19. Individual privacy & data security are central to a new opt-in COVID-19 Exposure Notification Express app from @Apple & @Google, which Oregon is now piloting along with CA, WA, CO & NV. oregon.gov/oha/ERD/Pages/OHA…

In my meetings today at the Beachie Creek Fire, again and again I was awed by the brave, dedicated, and empathetic people who have been doing anything and everything it takes to help their fellow Oregonians. Thank you.

Oregon is resilient, but to fight fires on this scale, we need all the help we can get. Grateful we've been quickly granted a Presidential Disaster Declaration, helping provide support like damage assessment teams, search & rescue, debris management, shelter & medical assistance.

It’s hard to believe this can all happen at once, but in addition to the wildfire crisis, COVID-19 is still very much with us. This weekend, Oregon passed the grim milestone of 500 COVID deaths. Protect your neighbors by wearing a face covering, keeping distance & washing hands.

I’m amazed by the generosity and collaboration I saw at the State Fairgrounds today. Oregonians have stepped up for each other in the midst of a once-in-a-generation wildfire event. Red Cross volunteers are on the ground and are making a huge impact for so many Oregon families.
