The Republican candidates for Governor are hiding from accountability, so we're bringing the accountability to them! Ed Diehl, Christine Drazan, Chris Dudley - enjoy the debate tonight 😉

Restricting access to abortion and contraception isn't religious expression. It's about controlling women. Check the next post for a list of candidates endorsed by Oregon Right to Life and help us defeat them this November.

Trump’s tariffs are hurting Oregon’s small businesses. We created a grant program to help small Oregon businesses offset rising costs due to federal tariffs. The tariffs are another tax on working families, and we cannot afford policies that take money out of Oregonians’ pockets.

Ed Diehl, Christine Drazan, and Chris Dudley desperately want to avoid talking about Trump, but voters deserve to know: will they support Trump’s plan to destroy Oregon’s vote-by-mail system or will they oppose him on that issue like the overwhelming majority of Oregonians do?

It’s now been 39 days since Trump started his illegal war of choice in Iran. For Oregonians, that means gas prices are still going up: now at $5.01/gal, a 28% increase since day one. Still, Christine Drazan, Ed Diehl, and Chris Dudley remain silent.

It’s been 38 days since Trump started his illegal war of choice in Iran. For Oregonians, that means gas prices are still going up: now at $5.00, a 27% since day one. Today, Trump escalated tensions with Iran yet again. Still, Christine Drazan, Ed Diehl and Chris Dudley are silent.

Instead of funding Medicare and Medicaid, Trump wants to keep spending billions for his illegal and reckless war in Iran - and Republican CD4 candidate Monique DeSpain supports it.

This is what Oregon looks like. I am so proud to be your governor and stand with all of you today. We believe that no one is above the law. No one gets to be a king. Not in Oregon, and not in America.

We're incredibly proud to stand with Congresswoman Janelle Bynum and our fellow Oregon Democrats in the fight against the voter suppression bill: the so-called SAVE Act. Rep. Bynum has our backs, and it's up to all of us to have hers by making sure she wins this November! #ordems #oregon #orpol

Trump is demanding Republicans force through the SAVE Act, which would restrict mail-in voting – something Christine Drazan and Ed Diehl support. Meanwhile, he voted by mail just last week in Florida 🤔 MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!! apnews.com/article/dona...

apnews.comTrump casts Florida mail ballot as he pushes Congress to severely limit that voting optionPresident Donald Trump has cast another mail ballot in Florida as he continues to publicly bash the voting method as a source of fraud and push Congress to curtail the practice.

Sen. Wyden and Sec. Read have made it clear - the SAVE Act is voter suppression and would disenfranchise millions of voters in this year's elections. Meanwhile, Drazan, Dudley, and Diehl have remained silent and dodged the issue. Shameful. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/03/13/o...

oregoncapitalchronicle.comOregon’s senior U.S. senator, secretary of state warn of fed voter suppression under SAVE Act • Oregon Capital ChronicleSen. Ron Wyden and Secretary of State Tobias Read said they would defend mail-in voting and the state’s election integrity.

Given every opportunity to stand up for Oregon and push back against Trump’s reckless and cost-raising agenda, Sen. Drazan and Rep. Diehl went missing and chose to spend time on their campaigns instead. That’s not leadership. It’s avoiding accountability. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/03/16/r...

The Democratic Party would not exist without the labor movement, and our communities are better when workers are respected. Oregon Democrats stand with our 2300 union siblings at PCCFCE and PCCFFAP for the first-ever strike at an Oregon community college! -DPO Chair Nathan Soltz

The crowded Republican primary for governor features a Jan. 6th rioter, multiple MAGA diehards, a leading opponent of vote-by-mail, and two candidates who already lost races for governor… what a circus. 🎪 Oregonians deserve better.

The 2026 session is done. We got real work done for Oregon families. House Democrats took steps to lower costs, protect schools and health care, & make housing more affordable. We also stood up for civil rights, privacy, and our immigrant communities. #orleg #orpol

What’s one thing Trump and Drazan have in common? They want to make it harder to vote. Ending vote-by-mail disenfranchises eligible voters without increasing election security. Oregon needs leaders who stand up to protect voters - not another Trump wannabe. americanjournalnews.com/donald-trump...

americanjournalnews.comDonald Trump and Christine Drazan want to end Oregon’s vote-by-mail systemA 2020 analysis found that states with universal vote-by-mail systems have “essentially zero fraud.”

Sound familiar? 👀 #SOTU26

Meet Christine Drazan. She backed Trump’s plan to deploy the National Guard on our streets, voted against Medicaid expansion in OR, supported an abortion ban, and opposed vote-by-mail. Oregonians deserve a governor who defends our state, not one who takes orders from Mar-a-Lago.

In the last year, Trump has made America sicker and poorer. His “Big, Beautiful Bill” was a Big, Ugly BETRAYAL of working families. We need to reject his families lose, billionaires win mentality and build a vision where families thrive and billionaires pay their fair share.

FACT: All across the country, Americans are being hit with staggering health care price hikes — with premiums in many cases doubling or worse — all because Senate Republicans voted again and again to raise health care costs.

Oregon Democrats reposted

Trump’s Big Ugly Betrayal is no win for the American people. His biggest "accomplishment" has been stealing health care and food from families to reward billionaires with more tax breaks.

✔️Lied about DHS funding ✔️Lied about cutting almost a trillion dollars in Medicaid ✔️Lied about how disastrous tariffs have been for the economy Three for three!

Tonight, Trump will deliver his State of the Union address while Oregon families struggle with rising costs. His billionaire-first economic agenda and illegal tariffs have led to higher prices and unaffordable health care - let’s see how he tries to lie his way out of this one.

📢 REMINDER: Trump’s tariffs resulted in a nationwide average tax increase of around $1,000 per household in 2025 and is estimated to increase to $1,300 in 2026.

The Supreme Court put a halt to Trump’s disastrous and illegal tariffs yesterday. Trump called it a “disgrace.” Oregon took the lead on pausing the tariffs. Now, every Oregonian deserves to know if Christine Drazan, Ed Diehl, and Chris Dudley agree with Trump’s comments.

Trump: "In one year, we have lifted 2.4 million Americans -- a record -- off of food stamps" What actually happened - Trump and the Big Ugly Bill cut SNAP benefits for millions of people. And Republicans in the room cheered. Shameful.

Oregon’s graduation rate hit 83%, a new record. I am committed to supporting Oregon educators and strengthening student success, ensuring every child has equal opportunity to learn.

Drazan is lockstep behind Trump's goals and the MAGA agenda. With votes this week AGAINST limits to ICE raids in schools, AGAINST lower costs for vaccines, and AGAINST protections for public lands, @ChristineDrazan is showing how she’d bring Trump’s agenda to Oregon.

Last week, President Trump and the EPA announced they would revoke the legal finding that classified pollution from cars, trucks and power plants as harmful to public health. So far, not a single Republican candidate for Governor has spoken out against Trump’s actions.

At a time when small business owners across Oregon are dealing with economic headwinds, 12 Senate Republicans voted to strip away a tax credit that would support local job growth, while pushing for tax breaks for massive corporations. Whose side are they on?

Children shouldn’t have to be afraid to go to school. Period. But yesterday, @ChristineDrazan voted AGAINST protecting kids based on immigration status and protecting our schools from overly aggressive federal immigration tactics. That’s a whole other level of cruelty.

Where was Christine Drazan when every other Senator was voting to cut costs for cervical cancer screening? Apparently she was giving the people of Oregon her “absolute best” by schmoozing at a bar. The one and only Senator to skip this historic vote? Christine Drazan.

Are you registered Non-Affiliated but support Democrats? We'd like to invite you to participate in our primary elections on May 19th! Only registered Democrats may vote in the Democratic Party primary. Go to DPO.org/Register and make sure your voter registration reflects your values!

How many votes will Christine Drazan miss this session? She couldn't be bothered to vote on making Oregon the FIRST STATE IN THE NATION to cover cervical cancer screenings. But a business roundtable at a pub in someone else’s district? She cleared her schedule. Priorities.
