Community Potlucks

I know it's a minor issue but hopefully could be resolved quickly by you and help improve Oregon communities. Please change the rules so that community potlucks are no longer illegal. Why is this even a law and who does it protect? At this time we need all the tools to bring communities together an

Do not confirm Todd Blanche

Do all in your power to stop the appointment of Trump sycophant Todd Blanche as our attorney general. He is corrupt in so many ways. Protecting the Trump family, changing DOA rules so he can assign what prisons inmates go to, pardoning Jan 6 rioters, going after people on Trump's hit list. With th

Stop the Ballot Sabotage: A Nonpartisan Call to Action

I'm writing as a constituent, not as a partisan, because what's happening to our election system right now shouldn't be a partisan issue at all.

Ban the use of AI in political ads and campaigns statewide

I have yet to see it yet in Portland or anywhere else in the state, but there have been an alarming number of campaigns using AI to generate deep fake political campaign ads against their opponents.

Vote NO on the KIDS act

I am writing to you today to express my concern over the KIDS act. This legislation doesn’t protect kids in any meaningful way. Instead, this legislation aims to mandate mass surveillance by requiring an ID and linking all online activity to an individual. In addition to threatening freedom of infor

At present, there are no formal rules requiring lawmakers to disclose serious medical conditions, nor any official procedures for determining when a member is medically incapacitated and should be temporarily or permanently relieved of duties.
