Secretary of State Tobias Read

Why are they trying to create barriers that would stop Americans from voting? It's simple: the president knows he's wildly unpopular, and he's afraid the people will have their say. #orpol More: bit.ly/4uzIQvx

Congress is considering the SAVE America Act, a bill that would throw voter registration in every state into chaos in the middle of a major election cycle. Lawful citizens will be blocked from voting if this passes. Read my piece with @RepBonamici: bit.ly/4rAjzyz

Donald Trump said the SAVE Act will, in his words, “guarantee the midterms.” But in America, elections are not supposed to be guaranteed for anyone. Not for Republicans. Not for Democrats. Not for presidents. The voters decide. Read more:

I want to take a moment to make something clear: your vote is secure in Oregon. In Oregon, your vote is protected, your voice is respected, and our democracy is defended.

This so-called SAVE Act has nothing to do with election security. It’s about putting new barriers between eligible American citizens, voters and the ballot box. Read more: bit.ly/3NIjYRI

When we stand up together, we win. I joined Senator @RonWyden and voter rights advocates for a press conference in Portland to denounce the so-called SAVE Act and any legislation intended to add barriers between American citizens and your right to vote.

Thank you to all the hardworking TriMet employees and the many public transit workers across the region who keep Oregon moving. I had the opportunity to ride along and see firsthand what's going on on the ground. Thank you for the opportunity to listen.

All that Donald Trump’s so-called SAVE Act is designed to “save” is Republicans propping him up in Congress. Oregonians like @ORSecretaryRead & all the voter rights advocates at today’s news conference in Portland about this Trump voter suppression bill are all in to stop Trump’s scheme.

Thank you to the students of Portland Community College for your insightful questions and a great discussion. This generation is civic-minded, engaged and ready to help carry Oregon’s promise forward. The future is bright here in Oregon.

With drop of the gavel, I declared the 2026 candidate filing period closed and the beginning of the 2026 campaign season in Oregon! Thank you to everyone that filed to run for elected office for answering the call to public service. #orpol

Welcome to Salem, Bridger Creative Science School! I'm always inspired by our young Oregonians, their passion and eagerness to take on the world. Thank you for the thoughtful questions! @PPSConnect

Congratulations to @oregontreasury for returning to the Capitol after six years. Thank you to Treasurer Steiner and Treasury staff for the tour and open house. It was great to see so many familiar faces. Welcome home!

I want to thank the dedicated public officials who are doing their best to protect our free & fair elections, while this administration is more interested in preserving their own power through conspiracy theories and lies than serving the American people. bit.ly/3NgeiOH

Thank you to the @GreshamChamber for your time, insights and thoughtful questions. Oregon's business owners, nonprofit managers and community leaders are the pillars of our Oregon communities. Thank you for all you do!

Beaverton is making its debut on the big screen! Yesterday, I joined Mayor @laceybeaty at the premiere of Disney Pixar's "Hoppers" to celebrate!

Thank you to the Portland Metro Chamber for not only supporting great Oregon businesses, but for helping us to build strong communities and a better state. Let's keep going!

The Ninth Circuit dismissed the federal government's lawsuit seeking Oregonians private data—and now, the federal government is appealing the decision. I'm confident in our case and trust the courts will continue to uphold the Constitution & the privacy rights of all Oregonians.

I am deeply concerned that there are high-ranking officials in the federal government who are more interested in preserving their own power through conspiracy theories and lies than serving the American people. Read more: bit.ly/3NgeiOH

Oregon is the gold standard when it comes to running fair, accurate and inclusive vote-by-mail elections. We'll continue to work with local election offices to make Oregon continues to lead in high turnout, low costs and high security elections. #orpol
