Governor Kotek has consistently stood up for Oregonians and the values we share. We’ve worked side by side against harmful federal actions, including opposing troop deployment in Portland. She’s the partner I need to continue this fight, and I am proud to support her re-election.
As your Governor, I’ve never been prouder to work for you - and with you. But the fight isn’t over. I’m running for reelection because Oregon values are on the line.

Costco sues the Trump admin to ensure that it gets its money back if/when SCOTUS declares the tariffs illegal. This is what happens when the court lets the president break the law for a little while.
