    Thank you for the excellent reporting. Senseless death. Sounds like murder. Private security needs oversight. HB 2527 passed this year is an important start.

    On May 29, a security guard fatally shot a man 4 times as he sat in his truck in a parking lot. found the shooter was not licensed to work w/ a gun. I spent the last 2 weeks diving into the shooting and many warning signs that came before it:

    I’m heartbroken by this news. Gary was champion for his district and a lovely man. My prayers are with his family and community.

    Agree. This needs to change. And let’s do more to help those denied by FEMA.

    Great but heartbreaking reporting. Time for change, .

    Thank you to everyone who has been working during this brutal heat wave. To name a few: emergency and medical personnel, service industry workers, infrastructure maintenance workers, transportation and construction workers.

    The two chambers meet and embrace in the rotunda. Probably the most full it’s been since the building closed in March 2020.

    This session has been unlike any other in Oregon history. We faced overwhelming challenges in response to historic crises. More work lies ahead. But we can honestly look back and say that the work we did here will make a meaningful difference for years to come.

    In light of what Oregon suffered last year with , I think it would be smart to leave the illegal fireworks off our Independence Day activities. Go to a fireworks show near you instead.

    Essential workers have risked their lives during the pandemic. We must continue putting working families first as we recover from this crisis. My top priority for Oregon’s remaining share of federal relief dollars will be more support for frontline workers in 2022.

    The Oregon House of Representatives has taken the unprecedented step of expelling one of its members. Given the extraordinary circumstances, this was the only reasonable path forward. My full statement on tonight's vote.

    Today’s revelation that Rep. Nearman's actions last December were premeditated is incredibly disturbing. I once again call for his resignation. If he does not immediately resign, I believe he should face expulsion from the Legislature.

    He acted as part of a coordinated effort to allow enemies of democracy into the building; literally opening the door to sedition.These men were armed. Nearman put the lives of every person in that building at risk; capitol staff, legislators & State Police officers.

    Rep. Nearman put every person in the Capitol in serious danger and created fear among Capitol staff and legislators. I called on him to resign in January and renew my call in light of today’s charges.

    NEW: State Rep. Mike Nearman, who allowed right-wing demonstrators to breach the state Capitol in December, now faces criminal charges, court records show.

    Thank you

    Press release statement from Representative Janelle Bynum regarding the guilty verdict in the Chauvin trial. “When this nation can confront the demons of the past and overcome its addiction to absolute power over Black lives, all of America will benefit. When we can count on our courts to deliver justice for everyone, all of America will benefit. When we can rely on our police to consistently bring honor to the profession and provide equal protection for community members through their words and deeds, all of America will benefit. Today’s verdict was possible because law enforcement professionals were clear and unequivocal in their assessment of the facts. George Floyd’s death came at the hands of another man. And it could have been prevented.
