TOWN HALL: I’m holding a public town hall in Lake County on 3/11 at 4:00 PM. Hearing from Oregonians about the challenges they face and the issues they care most about is crucial to shaping my work in the Senate—I hope to see you there! https://t.co/H8vxEZfdJt — PolitiTweet.org

The fight to protect every American’s freedom to cast their ballot continues. Many state legislatures across the country are determined to continue to suppress Black and brown voters and erode voting access. We must pass comprehensive legislation to protect our freedom to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

58 years ago, civil rights leaders including John Lewis began the march from Selma to Montgomery for the right to vote. They were met with horrific violence, brutally attacked for demanding equal rights. We honor their bravery and recommit to protecting the sacred right to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m pushing @USDA to continue investing in Oregon’s fishing and seafood processing industry—which is a critical piece of our nation’s food production system and vital to the economies of communities up and down our coast. https://t.co/IWvIgSe9mH — PolitiTweet.org

Families in Oregon and across the country are facing rising prices, from the gas pump to the grocery store. The national 30% sales tax proposed by House Republicans would stretch budgets tighter—I’m standing with my Senate colleagues to reject this extreme proposal. — PolitiTweet.org

At the end of last year, @lisamurkowski and I led the charge to finally expand protections for the right to pump breastmilk at work. Those changes are going into effect—and having an impact! — PolitiTweet.org

Julie Su has spent her career fighting for working Americans and their families. She has the experience and drive to fight for all workers’ rights—including the right to unionize—as Secretary of Labor. I look forward to voting for her confirmation! — PolitiTweet.org

The caving of Walgreens to Republican AGs in states where abortion pills are legal is pure cowardice and a health care catastrophe. https://t.co/gNshkZ1Ncd — PolitiTweet.org

I’m deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Karen Hobert Flynn. Her leadership in the fight for the freedom to vote has been instrumental. We’ve lost a true champion for democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

My mother, Betty Lou Collins Merkley, passed away early this morning. As she wrote: “I have lived a full life, blessed with my wonderful husband Darrell, and the joy of raising two children and the opportunity to share in the lives of their children and grandchildren.” — PolitiTweet.org

I am in Oregon for a family matter and will be missing votes in D.C. this week. I will continue to stay in touch with my team to fulfill my duties to Oregonians, and I will return to D.C. as soon as possible to continue serving Oregon there. — PolitiTweet.org

I support @SenWhitehouse’s DISCLOSE Act because it would stop billionaires from silently buying elections and put power back into the hands of the people. We need to get dark money OUT of our elections, plain and simple! — PolitiTweet.org

.@BeavertonSD’s “Fake and Fatal” campaign is doing important work to raise awareness about the dangers of fentanyl. By keeping students and teachers informed, they’re protecting families from the growing threat of fentanyl poisoning.https://t.co/U0pp0aex8E — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone in Oregon and around the country should be able to turn on their tap and know the water flowing out is clean and safe to drink. This funding is vital as we work to combat dangerous PFAS contamination across the country. https://t.co/Z86hft7Q62 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Every person—no matter where we're from or what we look like—should be able to live with safety, freedom, and belonging. To go to school and work, shopping and services without fear of violence. I reject all those promoting hate. America is for all of us. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We cannot allow violent extremists—emboldened and enabled by public figures and political pundits—to threaten our Jewish communities, or any religious, racial, or ethnic minority. Antisemitism and hate are wielded by those intent on growing their own power by dividing us. — PolitiTweet.org
