Today on Loving Day, we honor Mildred and Richard Loving — a Virginia couple whose courage and determination changed the country. Their Supreme Court victory ended bans on interracial marriage, and their legacy lives on in every fight for equality and justice we pursue today.

The Oregonian is a strong YES for the PPS School Bond: Measure 26-259! “Rejecting the measure will most likely mean higher costs and lower buying power when it comes back before voters. Ballots are due May 20. Portland voters should make sure their ballot includes a ‘yes’ for the bond.”

We cannot confuse our allies for our adversaries. We must be clear-eyed about this. We must stand with the people of Ukraine against the barbarism of Vladimir Putin.

The stubbornly persistent narrative that US foreign aid spending simply entails sending bags of money around the world is wildly inaccurate. Billions in duly appropriated foreign aid $ buys things from American farms & businesses. Foreign aid spending absolutely helps Americans & the US economy.

Cook Political Report’s first 2026 U.S. House ratings move Oregon’s competitive-on-paper seats to the left. Rating gives-term Rep.

PDX voters could potentially now see two significant tax questions on their November ballots: 1) SHS modifications including a possible extension 2) Future of the Parks Levy including a possible rate increase Meanwhile, the $1.83 billion PPS bond will appear on May ballots. #orpol #portland

Growing our housing supply and adding more affordable options is a good thing. “The report says the new middle-housing units on average sell for about $250,000 less than a new single-detached home.” $250K makes a huge difference on a typical monthly mortgage payment. #orpol #portland #housing

Great news & an excellent use of opioid settlement funds. Expanding pathways to addiction recovery saves lives, & is an essential part of solving PDX’s homelessness crisis. Bybee Lakes is a big opportunity for PDX & Multnomah County to collaborate on addiction solutions. Well done, Mayor Wilson!

As a general proposition, this market saturation suppresses prices and delays revenue for cannabis growers & retailers. Downstream, this limits cannabis tax revenue, which constrains availability of funds for Measure 110 programs. M110 is a key component of funding vital addiction services. #orpol

Our firefighters put their lives on the line to keep us safe - we are seeing that in real-time in LA right now. I’m working to pass bipartisan legislation to make sure that the families of firefighters who die from cancer linked to their service get the support they deserve.

New housing production is not keeping up with market needs. If we want to deliver some impactful relief to home buyers, we need to start building a lot more housing.

President Trump’s decision to grant legal clemency to January 6 rioters who assaulted police officers is outrageous. Police officers keep our communities safe, and those who violently attack them must be held accountable. Public safety professionals deserve leaders who support their critical work.

LA is a tragic reminder of how bad urban wildfires can be This 2021 article from @sophiegreenleaf.bsky.social addressed fire risks for Forest Park. Unsanctioned camping & electrical infrastructure are important considerations I’ll keep saying we need a fully funded Fire Bureau #orpol #portland

Revitalizing downtown Portland will require wise and sustained investment in public safety. “Afuri CEO Taichi Ishizuki cited the lingering negative perception of downtown Portland’s safety post-pandemic, a decline in tourism, and high office vacancy rates as contributing factors to the closure.”
