It's the same story over and over again: tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and no accountability for those who rig the system for their own gain. Families lose, billionaires win. I’m fighting for a future where families thrive and billionaires pay their fair share.

BIG WIN. Vote by mail is safe, simple, and secure—and I’ll always fight to protect it.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rejected President Trump's bid to restrict mail ballots ahead of the midterms.

Voting by mail is safe, simple, and secure. Folks in red and blue states alike have voted by mail for decades—it’s a system that works. I’ll fight like hell to protect it.

25 years ago, unprecedented acts of terrorism devastated our country. We remember the firefighters and first responders who ran toward danger on September 11, 2001, mourn all we lost, and hold close all those feeling the pain of loss today.

Wonderful to spend Labor Day with some of the local union leaders who keep our communities strong!

The 2020 Labor Day Fires devastated Oregon and took the lives of 11 Oregonians. Today we remember those who died and their loved ones and honor the firefighters and first responders who ran toward danger to keep us safe.

Happy Labor Day and a big thank you to the workers and labor leaders who worked tirelessly to win the better hours, benefits, and safer working conditions we have today. Our communities are stronger because of you!

Diesel hit a record high because of Trump’s war of choice with Iran. And when the price of diesel rises, the price of just about everything else—from groceries to clothes—rises too. We’re paying the price for Trump’s illegal war.

Trump’s war of choice in Iran is sending costs through the roof for folks here at home. It’s past time we reined in this illegal war and focused on bringing down costs for families in Oregon and across the country.

I’ll fight like hell to protect vote by mail.

Utility bills are skyrocketing for folks in Oregon and across the country—all while the Trump Administration blocks cleaner, cheaper renewable energy solutions. I’m fighting for the clean energy that will lower your bills and power our future!

Members of Congress shouldn’t be buying and trading stocks. It stinks of corruption, and I’ve led the fight to ban Congressional trading for years. If we want to restore public trust in Congress, that’s a great place to start.

Folks want lower costs for gas and groceries. What is Trump focused on? Plastering his face on a fake gold coin. I introduced a bill to stop ANY living president from putting their face on currency. Let’s get it passed.

I've been fighting to block the SAVE Act in the Senate because the right to vote is the beating heart of our democracy. I won’t stand by while Trump tries to rig the November election by attacking the rights of some citizens to vote.

Oregonians want lower costs at the grocery store and the doctor’s office, not endless wars and gold-plated ballrooms. I’m fighting for the foundations families need to thrive: health care, housing, education, and good-paying jobs.

Last October, I held the Senate floor for more than 22 hours to protest Trump’s authoritarianism. Ringing the alarm bells isn’t enough – we need to pass my comprehensive For Our Republic Act to stop the strongman state.

I’m fighting for the foundations families need to thrive: health care, housing, education, and good-paying jobs. Folks are fed up with the GOP's 'Families Lose, Billionaires Win' agenda. Let's work to build a vision where families thrive and billionaires pay their fair share.

The “SAVE” in SAVE Act should stand for Secure Authoritarian Victories Everywhere – because that’s what Trump is trying to do. Hell no!

Let’s save our republic!

I’m fighting for a vision of the future where families can thrive, and billionaires pay their fair share. Republicans are doing the opposite: gutting programs families count on and raising the cost of your health care, all to give the mega rich a massive tax break.

The Working Families Party understands better than anyone what’s at stake in this election. It was great to spend time with the folks fighting for the foundations families need to thrive.

I wrote the End Crypto Corruption Act to make sure that NO president can abuse their office to profit off the presidency. With each passing day, it’s clearer and clearer why we need to get this bill passed and stop presidential crypto schemes in their tracks.

Voting by mail is safe and secure. Millions of Americans – including Trump – cast their ballots by mail. I’ll fight like hell to protect your right to vote by mail.

I introduced the For Our Republic Act to stop Trump from tightening his authoritarian grip. My 10-part legislative plan draws on the expertise of Senators from across the country for one common goal: stop the slide into authoritarianism!
