Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read

A huge thank you to County Clerk Brien Beebe and his team for helping ensure every voter in Hood River County can take part in our free, fair, and secure elections. With 35 County Clerks visited, I'm down to my final stop- see you soon Lane County!

Trump threatens to withhold SNAP from Democrat-led states if they don't provide data Twenty-two states and the District of Columbia previously sued over the request for information, which was initially made in February.

I don’t know any American who supports taking food away from kids and families so a billionaire politician and his lackeys in D.C. can take revenge on their opponents. Using Americans as political pawns is low, but for this administration, the bar is in hell.

Our offices are closed today and tomorrow in observance of Thanksgiving and will reopen on Monday, December 1st with regular business hours.

Donald Trump is trying to gut our democracy like he's gutting the East Wing– but neither of those are his to break. Use your voice! Tell the President, your representatives, governors, and secretaries of state: #FreeFairElections are our right as Americans, and we won't settle for anything less.

Supreme Court case to watch: The RNC is trying to stop Mississippi from counting ballots if they were filled out & mailed ON TIME but arrive after election day. Let's be clear: this isn't about election integrity. It's about rigging the rules & it could have a big impact on your right to vote.

We're not getting straight answers from the DOJ and DHS about what they're doing with your private voter data. I'm joining 9 other Secretaries of State in demanding the truth. Watch, share, and join the calls for accountability. https://bit.ly/4r55dY4

34 counties down, 2 to go! Big thanks to clerks Laurie Cates, Dag Robinson, and Tommy Gong for the great conversations, and to all 36 of Oregon's county clerks for working tirelessly to ensure each election is fair, free, secure, & accessible to every Oregonian.

New Trump Anti-Voting Order Coming, White House Confirms Read more here.

The Constitution grants Presidents ZERO power over elections because our founders were all too familiar with the tyranny of kings. Trump doesn't respect our laws or America's values. If he tries another illegal executive order to rig our elections, we'll see him in court. https://bit.ly/4nKWGH1

It's Election Day, Oregon! Get your ballot in by 8pm TONIGHT (11/4), and whatever you do- don't forget to sign your envelope!

The United States Elections Assistance Commission (EAC) is supposed to build trust & bring integrity to our nation's elections. Commissioner McCormick betrayed that mission. I will not stand for it. Oregonians and all Americans deserve better. It's time for her to step down. https://bit.ly/439MP69

"It’s un-American to spread lies that sow fear and paranoia in the heart of our democracy...She betrayed the trust of the people she was meant to serve. She must resign or be removed immediately." - Secretary Read https://bit.ly/439MP69

I attended the Government to Government summit in Coos Bay and heard that our state must do more to be a better partner with sovereign nations. Partnership begins with listening and showing up for Tribal communities, and I’m committed to continuing that work.

No American should go hungry because people in Washington D.C. are playing politics. I joined @tinakotek.bsky.social & leaders across Oregon in demanding that USDA to take action now to make sure 750,000+ Oregonians can put food on the table. bit.ly/3WrxcmH

Thank you @repdexteror.bsky.social for having me on your telephone townhall this week & thank you to the Oregonians who joined the conversation. Let's continue to stay engaged, stick together, and don't forget to VOTE- there's a special election on November 4th- have you filled out your ballot yet?

Portland is not a war zone, it's our home. While this administration continues to make a spectacle in an American city -- all to distract from their own failures, I want to remind you to stay focused and use your power: VOTE.

Thank you to Vancouver Avenue First Baptist Church for inviting me to join you in serving meals to Oregonians. It was a great reminder that resilient communities are built through everyday acts of service and care. Oregonians: how are you showing up for your friends and neighbors?

Last night at Pitch Latino Portland, Latino entrepreneurs took the stage to share their business's impact and vision. It was an honor to celebrate their innovation and proclaim October 09, 2025 as Latino Entrepreneurship Day! Investing in small businesses like these is investing in Oregon's future.

Decades of service, scholarship, and civic engagement come together at the Academy for Lifelong Learning in Corvallis. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have spoken with this inspiring group about Oregon's voting system last week, and for the role they play in strengthening our democracy.

Representative Hòa Nguyễn was a dedicated, passionate, and accomplished public servant. Oregon is a more just, compassionate place because of her leadership. Our hearts are with her family and her community today as we all mourn her loss.

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek calls for National Guard troops to demobilize Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek on Tuesday directed the roughly 200 members of Oregon National Guard troops who had been stationed at Camp Rilea, outside of Astoria, to demobilize and head home.

It's time to send our National Guard troops home.

The Trump Admin took them away from their jobs & families for this pointless political stunt. Every moment this Admin fails to follow the law just raises the bill for hardworking American taxpayers.

Cities are where government gets real, where the rubber meets the road, sometimes literally. That’s why I’m committed to being a true partner to our local leaders as we build a brighter future for Oregon together. Great to speak with the League of Oregon Cities last weekend!

Big thanks to the clerks in Morrow, Curry, & Klamath Counties for the warm welcome & great conversations last month. Their leadership drives Oregon's free & fair elections, protecting all citizens right to vote.

That marks 32 of 36 counties visited- Lake County, you're next!

National Voter Education Week is about your power as an American citizen: the power of your voice, your ballot, your choice. Make sure you are registered and have a plan to vote in the next election: there’s one on November 4, 2025. oregonvotes.gov/myvote

This is a win for the rule of law and our rights as Americans. Our city does not want or need a military invasion, and we will not give the President the spectacle he wants to use to distract from his own failures.
