I will keep fighting to make sure every Oregonian has the right to make their own healthcare decisions.

Governor Kotek and Democrat leaders broke the law to hide their government-run healthcare takeover until after you vote. The Universal Health Plan Governance Board was required to release its report on September 15. They didn’t. Kotek and the committee chairs approved the delay anyway. Legislative Counsel says they had no authority to do it. They buried it because voters would reject it. What is already known from the draft: • Seniors lose traditional Medicare and get forced into the state system • Your tax dollars pay for full coverage for people here illegally • A new income tax hits AGI, before deductions, so working families pay more A report that takes away Medicare and raises taxes does not get shelved by accident three weeks before an election. That is a cover-up. The board just called an emergency meeting for Thursday, October 8. Open the records. Release the plan. Let Oregonians see it before November 3.

💥💥💥💥💥💥 What are the Democrats going to do with Institutional Power? More investigations into President Trump 🙄 @Shawn_Farash @RepRaskin Catch Shawn Farash LIVE EVERY WEEKDAY on @rumblevideo at 1pm ET

Oregon is quietly working on one of the largest tax increases in state history. The state’s Universal Health Plan Governance Board has modeled funding Oregon’s proposed single-payer healthcare system with: • 10.1% healthcare income tax • 9.6% employer payroll tax • Higher corporate income taxes • Higher Corporate Activity Tax • Higher lodging taxes The income tax would apply to income above 200% of the federal poverty level and is intended to replace premiums, deductibles and copays. But here’s where this gets even more interesting: Oregon law required the board to present a comprehensive implementation plan by September 15, 2026. That deadline has come and gone. Instead, the state is now talking about “draft plan models,” with lawmakers considering the issue in 2027. Whether you support single-payer healthcare or not, Oregonians deserve to know: What happened to the plan the Legislature required by September 15—and why are we discussing potential double-digit new taxes without it? This deserves far more public scrutiny than it’s getting. Thank you @RepYunker for bringing this to light. Can Oregonians afford another 10% of their income to go to taxes? Below is the state’s own modeled rates. And no, those aren’t typos. Oregon’s Universal Health Plan board is modeling an ADDITIONAL 10.1% healthcare income tax and 9.6% employer payroll tax to finance its universal healthcare proposal.

We must come together on a basic principle: political violence is unacceptable and un-American. katu.com/news/local/governor…

🚨 #BreakingNews Judge rules Washington Legislature cannot empower commission to remove elected sheriff A Thurston County Superior Court judge ruled Friday that the Legislature cannot empower a state commission to remove a duly elected sheriff, siding with opponents of a new law that ties the office to state certification. Judge Christine Schaller issued the ruling after hearing arguments on Senate Bill 5974, Pierce County Sheriff Keith Swank said. Swank, who attended the hearing, said Schaller found that sheriffs are elected officials and should not be treated differently from other elected officials, and that sheriffs, like other politicians, have First Amendment rights. He also said she also found that the Legislature cannot empower the Criminal Justice Training Commission to remove a duly elected sheriff. Sheriff Swank called the decision a victory for the rule of law and the Constitution. He said Schaller broke the ruling into sections and that he still needed to review it in full. No written order had been published, and the state had not commented, as of Friday afternoon. Judge Schaller issued the preliminary injunction on April 29, one day before much of Second Substitute Senate Bill 5974 was set to take effect. The law, signed April 1 by Gov. Bob Ferguson, imposed new eligibility rules on sheriffs and tied their ability to remain in office to certification by the Criminal Justice Training Commission. Loss of that certification would have created a vacancy, allowing removal without a voter recall. Before the bill, state law required sheriffs to complete basic training but did not clearly force an elected sheriff from office if that certification was later revoked. The suit was brought by four eastern Washington sheriffs — Brad Manke of Stevens County, John Nowels of Spokane County, Glenn Blakeslee of Pend Oreille County and Ray Maycumber of Ferry County — represented by attorney Mark Lamb. The state has appealed. On May 5, a Washington Supreme Court commissioner denied the state’s request to stay the injunction, leaving the block in effect while the appeal proceeds. Bill sponsor former Snohomish County Sheriff and current Sen. John Lovick, D-Mill Creek, said the measure simply applied the same certification rules already used for rank-and-file officers and police chiefs. Critics, including some Republican lawmakers, called it an effort to override local voters. Friday’s ruling does not repeal Senate Bill 5974, but Judge Schaller's April 29 injunction keeps the state from using the challenged parts against elected sheriffs. This is reinforced by the WA State Supreme Court in May leaving the injunction in place. The Legislature can pass a new bill striking Senate Bill 5974, or amending out the sheriff provisions, in a future session.

Fact check- What improvements is she talking about at Salem-Keizer or Tigard-Tualatin School Districts?! Hint- THERE ARE NONE!!!
