Today, the House recognized Lt. Col. (Ret) Dick Tobiason and his decades of service to the veteran community in Oregon with the passage of HCR 202. It was an honor to rise in support of this resolution.

Great day to be a Bend Beaver! 🦫 It was my pleasure to join in today’s groundbreaking for @OSUcascades’ new Student Success Center. Funded by state dollars and student fees, this space is a significant step forward in the development of the Bend campus.

Veterans Day is a time for celebration, remembrance and gratitude. It was a privilege to join in the 22nd Annual Bend Veterans Day parade this morning to honor the commitment and sacrifice of our veterans. To my dad and every service member who has answered the call, thank you.

Grateful to be at the groundbreaking for a project that will bring 99 more units of affordable housing to Bend. Thanks, RootedHomes and Housing Works for your leadership on this project! Can’t wait for the Simpson Community to welcome home its first residents.

It was incredibly rewarding to recognize some of the critical public safety legislation passed during the 2023 session at today’s ceremonial signing. We could not have celebrated these victories without the work of incredible advocates, like @MomsDemand. Thank you! #orpol #orleg

Thrilled to join the Governor, advocates and other legislators today to celebrate the signing of crucial education and child care bills from the 2023 session. One of the bills signed was HB 3198, a bill I chief sponsored to help address Oregon’s literacy crisis. #orpol #orleg

Today, on #NationalGunViolenceAwarenessDay, folks across the country are wearing orange to call attention to our nation's gun violence crisis and honor victims and survivors. We all deserve a future free from gun violence. We must continue advocating for change. #orpol #orleg

Yesterday, firefighters and emergency medical personnel from across the state traveled to Salem to share their policy priorities for the session and their experiences in the field. Great to see Bill Boos (far left), Operations Chief for Bend Fire & Rescue!

Thank you @GovTinaKotek for your leadership and advocacy! We must take a holistic approach to address our state’s literacy crisis. Part of that approach needs to include ensuring our educators are equipped with literacy instruction strategies grounded in the “science of reading.”

Today, I launched the Early Literacy Educator Preparation Council that will develop strong standards for K-5 literacy instruction. Setting up educators for success will set students up for success. opb.org/article/2023/0…

I stand with the St Charles nurses who are holding an informational picket today in Bend. Our nurses are bargaining for a contract that helps recruit and retain nurses, so they can provide safe staffing. We deserve quality healthcare. Our nurses deserve the support to provide it.


The ability to read and write is fundamental to the learning process and our kids' abilities to thrive in school and life. If we are serious about closing opportunity gaps, we need to invest in early literacy. bendbulletin.com/opinion/editor…
