This is First Gentleman Dan here. Help me in wishing my love a great 60th birthday! Thank you for all you do for Oregon and for our family. https://t.co/tipBkUdqnO — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Father's Day to all of Oregon's great dads! One of my life's greatest joys has been seeing Dan be such a loving, devoted father. https://t.co/QFzZwk01yN — PolitiTweet.org

Refugee resettlement in America is a lifeline for the world’s most vulnerable. Yet the president reduced refugee acceptance from 110,000 people to only 18,000. Oregon will continue to be a welcoming home to all, especially our refugee communities. https://t.co/pycFBOY24S — PolitiTweet.org

Take it from @OregonSOS Bev Clarno: Vote-by-mail is safe, secure, and healthy. While COVID-19 disrupted in-person elections around the country, Oregon had record turnout for the May primary, and no one had to risk their health to cast their ballot. https://t.co/4LzT1PIb6J — PolitiTweet.org

It’s really this simple: Face coverings save lives. Learn more (https://t.co/eWzeEx402M) about the new requirement for wearing face coverings in indoor public spaces beginning June 24 in Multnomah, Clackamas, Washington, Marion, Polk, Hood River, and Lincoln counties. https://t.co/57QGPwPxOb — PolitiTweet.org

As part of recognizing and honoring Juneteenth, listen to Oregon Senators and Representatives @bynum4thewin, @manningstl, @akasha4theppl, and @LewFrederick share personal reflections on the meaning of this historic day. https://t.co/GPXmOP59Ws — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

On #JUNETEENTH2020, we mark the anniversary of the day in 1865 when the last enslaved Black Americans in the U.S. were declared free. And we recommit ourselves to keep fighting for change until Oregon – and all of these United States – reflect racial justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Exceptions for the face covering mandate: a person with a medical condition or disability that prevents the individual from wearing a face covering, and children under the age of 12, will not be subject to this mandate. Detailed guidance to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Starting 6/24, face coverings are required for indoor public spaces in Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas, Hood River, Marion, Polk, & Lincoln counties. As we live with this disease for the foreseeable future, face coverings need to become a part of our daily lives to stay safe. https://t.co/x1uQ7xxwWK — PolitiTweet.org

Vic will always be remembered as a stand-up State Representative in the Oregon Legislature who was well respected on all sides of the political spectrum. He brought kindness, levity, and humor to compassionate work, and his legacy will live on. https://t.co/mjXAth1YiL — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

I’m officially proclaiming June 19 as Juneteenth in Oregon and I will introduce a bill in 2021 to make it a state holiday. Celebrating Black freedom this year is fiercely important as people around the world protest systemic racism and undeniably show that Black Lives Matter. — PolitiTweet.org

Tune in at 11am for my press conference on next steps in the county reopening process: https://t.co/GQzOmBbvfF — PolitiTweet.org

Oregon will always be a welcoming, safe place for all. Our 33-year-old Sanctuary Law prevents Oregon from enforcing federal immigration law, and I will uphold this and stand with Oregonian Dreamers. We are at our best when we focus on what we share in common, not what divides us. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Dreamers, brought to the U.S. as kids, embody the American dream. While @USSupremeCourt kept #DACA in place for now, the president may still try to end it. Oregon's 12,000 valued Dreamers serve in our military, work in our hospitals, pay taxes, & make our communities stronger. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Oregon's ability to reopen – and *stay* open – is dependent on each of you doing your part: -Stay home if you’re sick -Wear a face covering -Keep 6 feet of distance -Avoid crowds -Wash your hands Your actions will determine whether your local businesses can stay open. (4/4) — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Effective Friday, June 19, I'm allowing Marion, Polk, and Hood River Counties to enter Phase 2 and Multnomah County to enter Phase 1. Despite an increase in cases, new hospital admissions in Multnomah County are not increasing & hospitalizations remain well within capacity. (3/4) — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Starting next week I will be instituting a requirement for face coverings while in indoor, public spaces for the following counties: Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas, Hood River, Marion, Polk, and Lincoln Counties. Full details available shortly. (2/4) — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

As we learn more about COVID-19, we're refining our strategies to prevent its spread. This means increased testing, strictly enforcing health and safety standards, a new face covering requirement, and calling on the public to remain cautious. https://t.co/b70HbWIS9I (1/4) — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Congratulations to @alyssafarrow_ and all of Oregon's class of 2020. The world needs your talents, skills, and knowledge. And now more than ever, the world needs your compassion and kindness. I can't wait to see what you do next. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

In Alabama, a state with 25,000 confirmed COVID cases and more than 700 deaths, it's a relief that voters won't have to risk their health to make their voices heard. Alabama should join Oregon in voting from home. It's healthy, safe, and secure – even the President does it. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

I plan to call a special session later this summer on the state budget. In the meantime, I'll continue pressing Congress to support state and local governments reeling from the economic downturn and taking steps to tighten belts in our state budget. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

I'm calling a special session to take up two urgent issues facing our state: police accountability and the COVID-19 pandemic. These are too urgent to wait until the next regular legislative session. It’s imperative that the Legislature take action on these issues right away. — PolitiTweet.org

As an avid reader, I'm happy to share some books by Black writers that I read recently and loved. I'm joining the movement to purchase two (or more!) books by Black writers this week to fill bestseller lists with Black voices. #BlackoutBestsellerList ✊🏾✊🏿✊ https://t.co/Q8pYIKvzuZ — PolitiTweet.org

As the nation’s first openly-LGBTQ Governor, today’s Supreme Court ruling is personal for me. No one should live in fear that they're going to lose their job because of who they are or who they love. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Let me be clear: The Trump administration's attacks on transgender and non-binary people are wrong. Here in Oregon, regardless of this administration's actions, we will protect health care for the LGBTQ community. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Today's victory comes days after the Trump administration reversed health protections for transgender and non-binary people – reckless and heartless to take away protections from vulnerable people during a global pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

This Supreme Court decision allows the entire nation to enjoy the same employment protections Oregonians have celebrated for years. We have more work to do to ensure equality is reflected in our laws, courtrooms, and constitutions, but this victory is a historic moment. — PolitiTweet.org
