3/ I urge the Senate to vote NO on the SAVE Act.

2/ Over 900,000 married Oregon women who changed their last names would need to re-register to vote. Oregon’s elections are already secure and accessible.That’s why I introduced the Vote at Home Act, which would expand our system nationwide and help more Americans cast a ballot.

1/ I was a hell NO on the SAVE Act, a bill that punishes Americans who don’t carry around proof of citizenship and favors those with the means to obtain extra documentation. Nearly half of all Oregonians would need to pay for new documents just to exercise their right to vote.

I talk to federal workers every day who say, “it is so hard and I don’t know how I keep coming to work.” But you do. Always proud to stand with AFGE and fight for federal workers. #UnionStrong

Great to see @lanetitans.bsky.social and Linn-Benton Community College in DC to discuss improving the Pell Grant program, strengthening education workforce development and supporting childcare services on college campuses. Go Titans and Roadrunners!

Oregonians are getting a big upgrade to the Amtrak Cascades route later this year! My team got to tour the Airo trainset today, and let me tell you, this will make the beautiful PNW rail trip even nicer.

How the hell are people still unclear about our 1st Amendment rights? Freedom of religion. We need to understand how we got here so we can be better. Every. Single. Day.

This is rigging the system against workers, especially our public servants. This isn't "putting American workers first."

The Trump administration's decision to eliminate the Merit Systems Protection Board, an independent agency that reviews federal workers' appeals to mass firings, is blatantly rigging the system. The communities that rely on an impartial public service workforce will pay the price.

Late last night President Trump posted a disturbing and incredibly racist post on his personal social media attacking the Obamas. Such hatred and racism has no place in the Oval Office. Or anywhere for that matter. People of conscience must condemn this behavior. It’s disgusting.

Being detained in an ice facility should not equal a death sentence. We will not normalize cruelty as public policy.

Great to see my friend, @afacwa.org President @flyingwithsara.bsky.social and @afadelta.bsky.social yesterday at the Labor Caucus. Your work keeps us safe in the skies, and we stand with you.

Eugene has a long history of speaking out and standing up for what’s right. And we will continue to do so. We don’t need federal help. We’ve got it.

This morning we were outside ICE’s headquarters to make it crystal clear: Kristi Noem must go and ICE must get out of our communities NOW. Later today I’m voting hell no on DHS funding, this iteration of ICE can’t be allowed to stand.

They too often get left behind in negotiations that don’t value their work. This is great news. #UnionStrong

4J's classified union wins groundbreaking contract ahead of staff cuts

The classified union at Eugene 4J had major wins in safety language and pay differentials, but there are still concerns as layoff loom.

Representative Val Hoyle@repvalhoyle.bsky.socialFeb 2(source)

After months of bargaining, OSEA, the union representing classified workers, from front office staff to janitors, secured substantial pay raises and stronger specialized needs training and staffing guidelines. These workers are critical to the operations of our schools and taking care of our kids.

It makes the action of protesting, one we will need to keep engaged in for the long term, more dangerous for everyone. Thank you to those who showed up to speak up for our neighbors who can’t right now, to the EPD for working to deescalate the situation and to Mayor Knudson for her sage words.

Representative Val Hoyle@repvalhoyle.bsky.socialJan 31(source)

When I was in Minnesota, community leaders said over and over again that peaceful protest was key. They had been providing constitutional observer training for nearly a year before thousands of ICE agents were sent to Minneapolis. Breaking into the federal building isn’t peaceful protesting.

We are continuously working to de-escalate situations where our community members may be at risk. Tonight, that work included having Eugene Police intervene to avoid direct confrontations between federal agents and protestors.
Facing potentially dangerous circumstances, our city has to be focused on timely actions that protect public safety.
These are not hypothetical or speculative circumstances. I want to express my appreciation to our staff and local officers for their work tonight. We needed their efforts to de-escalate a situation where people's lives could have been at risk.
After a peaceful protest that began mid-afternoon, a riot was declared at our federal building at about 6:00pm. This occurred after a group of protestors broke windows and attempted to enter the building. After this, EPD officers formed a barrier between protestors and the entry point, and people were encouraged to disperse. This heightened situation was 3-4 hours in total. EPD has now departed from the federal building, and federal agents are responsible for the site. Eugene Police will continue to patrol nearby.
Your safety and our community's collective, strategic response to challenges are my primary concerns. This is a painful time, and we can rise to the occasion without resorting to violence. Mass, peaceful protest is a powerful and durable mechanism for change-we see this from Minneapolis, and across our country's history.
Earlier in the day, I saw hundreds of young people, elders, and even small children attending a peaceful protest. Most people were distant from the facade of the federal building, gathered to exercise their rights in a neighborhood where many small businesses had dedicated the day to solidarity. Our collective power resides with our ability to remain connected to a larger purpose and to each other. In any way you can encourage peaceful and strategic action, please do.

I just met with four of my constituents who are being held at the Tacoma ICE facility. They are not “the worst of the worst”. I will be following up with lawyers and maintaining direct contact so that they do not get lost in our broken immigration system.
