I had such a good time this Sunday partnering with Representatives @repthuytran.bsky.social and @repwillychotzen.bsky.social on the Mobile Town Hall event this Sunday! This event is always one of my favorite of the year.

I'm so excited that our walking town hall will overlap with Oregon Walks' Portland Promenade event! Check out @theoregonian.bsky.social's coverage of the Promenade that passes through Senate District 23: https://loom.ly/zlip4XI

ODOT needs to hear from you - do you want the agency to prioritize investments in safer streets, road maintenance and transit restoration next year? I encourage all Oregonians to take this survey: https://www.cognitoforms.com/ODOT2/ROTVSurvey #orleg

Just a reminder. For the whole month of August I have my #SingletonScavengerHunt to encourage folks to visit, buy from, or hire Black owned businesses in Multnomah County. This is part of #BlackBusinessMonth. visit my website for more information www.bit.ly/BBMhunt

This week, I joined REACH CDC for a tour of Foster73, their new housing project slated to open this fall in the Foster-Powell neighborhood. I loved seeing the murals, learning about the accessible homes and the wrap around services and programming integrated into the building.

Heads up, Portland - wildfire smoke is expected to roll in to the region today and stay with us through the week. It's a good time to wear an N95 mask and limit your outdoor time, if you can. https://loom.ly/32thrZg

Let's go on a bike ride! Hope to see you on August 29 for a community ride celebrating climate investments throughout East Portland, ending at one of my favorite events of the year - the Jade District Night Market. RSVP here: https://loom.ly/SYFxrFQ

This week in Senate Energy and Environment, we had a hearing about the POWER Act. I'm proud to have supported this policy to make sure data centers pay for their own infrastructure costs and can't pass these costs to customers. #orleg #orpol https://loom.ly/rxVSkyY

We are making Oregon safer and welcoming for all our neighbors. In the face of authoritarianism, we won't let violence against our communities and violations of our Constitution go unchecked. We will protect us and come through the other side of this together. #orleg #orpol https://loom.ly/dF1Ezl8

Deep gratitude to community members and policymakers, including Reps Jones Isadore and tran, who helped pass House Bill 4100, which ensure polluters, not taxpayers, are liable for any cleanup and remediation at their oil terminals after an earthquake or a natural disaster. #DisasterResilience

Thank you to everybody who came to our post-session town hall last night. #orleg

Thanks for attending last night, Brian!

After 6 sessions, I still feel awed to participate in this 250 year old experiment in democracy. It's not a given and we must fight to protect it. In these short 5 weeks, we advanced key policies on housing, immigrant rights and democracy defense - and have much more work ahead. #orpol #orleg

SB 1521 provides greater flexibility and more stringent funding requirements for inclusionary zoning programs in the greater Portland area. This is a bipartisan victory ensuring Oregon continues to build more homes available to a wider range of income levels. 🏗️ 🏘️ #orleg

Michael Andersen@andersem.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Yesterday, Oregon's legislature voted to ban underfunded inclusionary zoning from the Portland metro area. It's a big turnaround, and I hope a path forward for other states too. www.sightline.org/2026/03/05/o...

🎉 Celebrating key bills from our democracy defense agenda crossing the finish line today! I was proud to chief sponsor the Strengthening Patient and Provider Privacy Act (HB 4088), Protect Your Door Act (HB 4114), and Anti-Discrimination Protections for Immigrant Workers (HB 4111). #orpol #orleg

What a joy to welcome my constituent Oriana Korol and the Unpresidented Brass Band to the Capitol this session and celebrate our right to protest with music, creativity, and courage in the face of devastating assaults on our immigrant communities. #iceout #orleg #orpol 

It's a start! Thanks to the over 200 Oregonians who took action last week to testify or write to the governor's data center advisory council last week to make your voices heard! Because of your actions, we were able to win this 1.5 yr moratorium on data center tax breaks. https://loom.ly/6GqJ-Ko

Thank you Salem high students for showing up strong for our communities, our families, our neighbors today! I can't think of a better way to end a week that brought important parts of Oregon's immigrant justice package forward. Take action at the link in my bio. Sí, se puede! #orleg #orpol #iceout

Shoutout to @sightline.org's @andersem.bsky.social, who just testified in support of SB 1521 to reform and fully fund inclusionary zoning, to the House Rules committee this afternoon. Multiple bills endorsed by PNW are continuing to move forward ahead of the end of the legislative session. #orleg

Public education is a cornerstone of our democracy and public schools are the places in our neighborhoods where families access so many vital services and connections. Celebrating passage of the OR federal tax disconnect bill, but we need to do more. I'll be in this fight with you. #orleg #orpol

If Big Tech wants to build here, it should be on Oregon’s terms — strengthening our state – and without another blank check from Oregonians. Let the Governor's Data Center Advisory Committee know what you think should guide our state's policies around data centers: https://loom.ly/7YYjsqA

Join me in giving your public comment at the Governor’s new Data Center Advisory Committee first public meeting this Friday! This committee's decisions will shape our economy, water, air, and ability to fund essential services for decades to come. Take action here! https://loom.ly/7YYjsqA

This passed the Oregon Senate on Friday, 21-6, with all Democrats and 4 Republicans in favor. External issues have led to some process hurdles for but thanks to Speaker @repfahey.bsky.social it’s headed to House Rules, then hopefully to the House floor.

Michael Andersen@andersem.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Oregon's SB 1521, modernizing inclusionary zoning in the Portland metro area, unanimously passes Senate Housing. 🎉 Based on 10 years of lessons, it gives cities new policy options + a requirement that such programs be fully funded. Moves to senate floor! olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2026R1/M...
