The governor should not be allowed to use armed security to protect herself until our public school children have armed security too.

Gold lol

I voted Democrat in Oregon! Of course, I voted for Governor Tina Kotek. I can't believe the race against Republican Christine Drazan is so close. Probably because people believe all the bad stuff they see on social media. The truth is, Portland is doing just fine. The Democratic values of compassion, empathy, and endless second chances have made Portland what it is today. And I think the results speak for themselves! 💙🗳️

Oregon’s biggest problem is the flood of productive voters leaving for red states, while attracting people here for free sex changes, boob jobs, and abortions. I really don’t know how we claw ourselves out of this.

Ladies, your hooded eyes are actually beautiful. Stop ruining your faces.

😵‍💫

Just voted blue down ballot!

RT @Real_EdDiehl: Could Oregon Have Gotten a Better Blazers Deal for Less Taxpayer Money? Oregon put $365 million in state financing on the table for the Moda Center. Now, Robert Miller's research comparing 11 NBA arena agreements suggests something remarkable: Despite that enormous public commitment, Portland's proposed agreement ranks last in his analysis of attractiveness to the new owner. How does that happen? When the Legislature voted to authorize the $365 million, I voted NO. Not because I wanted the Trail Blazers to leave Oregon. I absolutely want them to stay. I voted no because we were doing things backwards. We were committing hundreds of millions in state financing BEFORE negotiating the complete deal. And here's something many people don't realize: That $365 million could cost Oregon taxpayers between $530 million and $625 million, including bond interest over 20 years. That's state income tax revenue that otherwise could support schools, public safety, roads, and other priorities. Yet according to Miller's analysis, the proposed agreement still exposes the private operator to substantial operating risks, maintenance liabilities, and restrictions on commercial opportunities. Think about that. We put hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on the table, yet the proposed business deal still isn't attractive to the people expected to operate the arena. Meanwhile, other cities have completed or negotiated substantial NBA arena projects without requiring comparable state financing. Which brings me right back to my original objection: Could we have negotiated a deal that was MORE attractive to the Blazers and LESS expensive for Oregon taxpayers? What if we had offered different commercial opportunities, more predictable operating obligations, or a better allocation of financial risk? Could those changes have reduced the need for hundreds of millions in state financing? I don't know the answer. And that's precisely my point. We should have explored those possibilities BEFORE putting $365 million in state financing on the table. The bonds haven't been issued yet, and the final agreement is still being negotiated. These questions still matter. I want the Blazers to stay. I want Moda Center to thrive. And I want Oregon taxpayers protected. We should be examining whether we can accomplish all three with less state money and less financial risk. Robert Miller's research is worth reading: Portland's Arena Offer Ranks Last Among 11 NBA Deals: Put Portland and the Blazers on the Same Side of the Dollar: Good intentions are not a substitute for good negotiating. And taxpayer money should never be the opening bid.

RT @NoTaxUS: A tax increase hits your wallet regardless of which political party proposes it. Republican or Democrat, every elected official should have to answer for asking taxpayers to pay more.

RT @ScottOuttaDodge: The collective damage caused by these two absolute retards is incalculable

@JayInslee and I agree: Oregon has led the nation in using vote-by-mail. Donald Trump wants to take us backward, but I’m not going to let him or anybody else take away our safe and secure system.

Two old crazy white women teaming up to keep Oregon in a downward spiral.

Oregon's future shouldn't be dictated by trillion-dollar corporations - it should be decided by Oregonians. I'm proud to stand alongside @Janefonda in the fight to put people over mega-corporate interests. As your Governor, that's exactly what I'll continue to do.

RT @tarafaul503: Just got forcibly kicked out of a Portland Thorns game because people were hitting my group with trans flags over our feminist shirts. Living in the upside down . @BrandiKruse

RT @Real_EdDiehl: Oregon Coalition of Police and Sheriffs confirm that Janelle Bynum "is no friend to law enforcement," and she has "disgraced Oregon police officers and all Oregonians." Throughout her career she has made our streets and our schools LESS safe. Time for a positive change, vote @PattiAdairOR

RT @Real_EdDiehl: Want different results? Stop electing socialists.

.@TinaKotek wants to eliminate a dad’s ability to protect his children and a woman’s ability to protect herself.

@CoClarified @GovTinaKotek Yup. If she had her way the dad that stopped the attack wouldn't have been armed.

RT @stxpdx: I purchased my house for $599k in 2018 for retirement. This is absolutely unsustainable. In 8 years Oregon has more than doubled my assessed value, taxing me on the already taxed money I used to renovate my home. Assessed values are supposed to be capped at 3% per year. This is robbery. Fuck this socialist governance, we cannot afford pay for those who invade to steal our resources. I hate it here. Please, I beg you. Vote for change, and remove @TinaKotek from office.

RT @CoClarified: @MsWinterrrr It’s wild that Oregonians want to continue with an economy in the dumpster, our education system failing, and higher taxes. I for one would rather the opposite.

RT @Real_EdDiehl: Oregon is at a crossroads. @ChristineDrazan breaks down exactly what needs to change on taxes, business, homelessness, and education in this interview. @sbjoregon

RT @PattiAdairOR: Janelle Bynum voted against protecting our kids. During the 2023 Oregon legislative session, four bipartisan bills came up for a vote to strengthen school security. HB 3101: Classroom panic alerts HB 2223: Armed school resource officers HB 3261: Secure school entrances HB 3350: School security improvements Janelle Bynum voted no on all four bills and sadly they did not pass. Read my full statement below. ⤵️ #OR05

I just checked and nothing has changed, @TinaKotek still sucks.

RT @GuntherEagleman: 🚨 BREAKING: Oregon's governor race is suddenly a dead heat, and Tina Kotek should be terrified. Kotek is bragging about "real measurable progress" on homelessness. Per Laura Ingraham, the homeless population has spiked 35% in two years, and roughly two thirds of tested students aren't proficient in math. Republican Christine Drazan isn't letting her spin it: "She took a top 20 economy... and she drop kicked it into the bottom 8 in four years." Drazan says Oregon lost 25,000 jobs in a single year.  That's what Kotek calls progress. Democrats broke Oregon. Christine Drazan can fix it.

RT @oregoncitizen_: 🚩So she lied to OJP and now this ⬇️

This is a prime example of how AI can attempt to interfere with political campaigns and destroy people’s reputations and lives.

Filling out my ballot for @ChristineDrazan with the sliver of hope that this time will be different. VOTE!!
