Oregon Governor. Committed to building a better future for all Oregonians. https://www.tinafororegon.com/

I am grateful for the Supreme Court’s decision in June to preserve birthright citizenship as stated in the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution. This amendment has stood in place for over 150 years and has had a significant impact on shaping the culture and history of our country.

Unsheltered homelessness in Central Oregon is down 19% over the past year. We have more work to do, but we’re moving in the right direction because of real investment and real partnerships.

We are making progress on fighting climate change, advancing a clean energy future, and protecting what makes Oregon the place we love. But that progress is on the line this November. As your Governor, I will keep fighting for a more sustainable future for every Oregonian.

Christine Drazan follows Trump's playbook by trying to make it harder to vote instead of protecting a system Oregonians believe in. She sponsored legislation to end Oregon's vote-by-mail system.

Christine Drazan's effort to upend our fair and secure vote-by-mail elections confirms what we already know: she will take Donald Trump’s orders from day one. As your Governor, I will always choose the needs of Oregonians over Trump’s agenda.

Oregon deserves a governor who will always stand up for our state. Together, we’ve proven we can take on Donald Trump and win. Christine Drazan has stood with him every step of the way. This November, the choice is clear - because Oregon's values are on the ballot.

A graphic with a blue background features Christine Drazan centered in front of the U.S. Capitol, with Donald Trump shown on the left. Large headline text reads: "TINA KOTEK IS STANDING UP TO MAGA EXTREMISTS." Below, a checklist highlights five actions: protecting Oregonians against federal overreach, blocking unlawful military deployments, defending Oregon's safe and secure elections, fighting back against federal SNAP cuts, and preserving reproductive rights. The design uses white and light blue text with blue check marks throughout.

The Trump administration is making its goal clear: restrict abortion access nationwide. Here in Oregon, I've fought to protect abortion access, and I'll never stop defending the right of every Oregonian to make their own healthcare decisions. www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

Every time Donald Trump attacks Oregon, I will fight back with every tool I have. This election is about who will fight for Oregon's values, protect our people, and defend our rights. As your Governor, I will always stand up for Oregon. Join us: tinafororegon.com

Other states are watching reproductive health care clinics close their doors and providers get dragged into court for simply doing their jobs. Oregon isn’t one of them.

When President Trump deployed masked federal agents into Oregon communities, my MAGA opponent, Christine Drazan, didn’t say a word against it. In fact, she was absent when a bill to prohibit federal agents from wearing masks was up for a vote.

Earlier today, I took action to immediately stop insurance companies from canceling or refusing to renew homeowners insurance policies for Oregonians affected by the wildfire emergency.

Rural Oregon families shouldn’t have to lose access to healthcare because some out-of-state corporation decided it wasn’t profitable enough. I’m fighting to protect maternity care and keep local hospitals answering to Oregon's own doctors and nurses. www.oregonlive.com/health/2026/...

Oregon lands $37.5 million in federal-backed funding to keep rural maternity care open

State officials say the money will help hospitals hire workers, upgrade equipment and expand support programs while protecting access to prenatal and postpartum care.

I banned cellphones in Oregon schools, invested in the science of reading with our teachers, and am working with experts to chart a path to universal preschool statewide. And high school graduation rates last year reached a record high.

President Trump and Republican politicians in D.C. are working overtime to make voting harder. Here in Oregon, we’ve spent three decades removing barriers to voting. Oregon's vote-by-mail system has been proven safe and secure, and I will fight to make sure Trump and Drazan keep their hands off it.

In Oregon, our mail-in voting system has successfully delivered fair, free, and secure elections for over 25 years. I look forward to making sure that Oregonians have their voices heard this November.

Running a small business isn't easy. From Trump's tariffs driving up costs to corporations squeezing out the competition, Oregon’s small businesses have been fighting an uphill battle. But they don’t have to fight it alone.

On July 1st, Oregon once again raised its minimum wage. I led the fight ten years ago to make sure the minimum wage rises with inflation each year. When workers win, Oregon wins. I will always stand up for Oregon’s hardworking people.

I’m relieved IP-28 failed to qualify for the November ballot. Efforts to criminalize activities like hunting and fishing are wrong for Oregon. I know from conversations with Oregonians across the state that this measure would have done nothing to help them.

President Trump is doing what he does best: driving up costs for families and hurting Oregon businesses that rely on trade. Oregon workers, farmers, manufacturers, and small businesses deserve economic stability, not more chaos that makes it harder to compete. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/20/b...

Trump to Impose 50% Tariff on Many Canadian Goods

The administration will use an untested legal provision to put significant duties on Canadian exports, reigniting a clash with one of America’s biggest trading partners.
