Governor Tina Kotek

I am grateful to the Governors of California, Florida, Minnesota, and New Jersey for sending firefighting crews to Oregon. This is the best of America—states stepping up to help their neighbors without hesitation. Your firefighters are heroes. Thank you for your partnership.

ICYMI: When I took office, I asked the Board of Licensed Social Workers to eliminate the backlog of licensure paperwork for social workers, thereby supporting a workforce that’s needed and helping people get the care they need. The results:

Portland, you were all joy and rainbows!

Teddy knows how to beat the heat—shade, fresh water, & staying cool indoors during the hottest part of the day! As temperatures rise, pets need extra care. Never leave pets in hot cars, provide water, & watch for signs of overheating. For more safety tips, visit @oregonhumane.

Happy #Pride Oregon. Let’s all work to make sure Oregon remains a place where we can live authentically, love who we love, and all thrive together.

This national Summer Learning Week, 48,000 Oregon students are enjoying summer learning adventures, thanks to bipartisan efforts by state lawmakers. When kids stay engaged with reading and learning all summer long, they're set for success when school starts. #SummerLearningWeek

Don't bet against Portland. We're on a winning streak. Welcome home, @Dame_Lillard

This terrifying use of force has nothing to do with our safety. It's about sowing fear and chaos. There is nothing to be gained by tearing parents from their children at school. @CityofBeaverton your families deserve better. America deserves better.

From the Thorns to the Rose City Rollers to The Sports Bra - Portland knows how to champion women's sports. Oregon keeps aiming higher and knows how to embrace the wins. Portland Fire, welcome back to Oregon!

I'm directing state agencies to analyze how tariffs are impacting Oregon's economy—from supply chains to employment trends. We're joining other states taking action to understand and prepare for the challenges. Oregon businesses and families deserve stability and predictability.

My North Star is for every Oregonian to be able to afford a home. I believe that we can get this done. Many counties, cities, and builders have leaned in to tackle this generational crisis, and the state should do everything possible to make it easier. opb.org/article/2025/0…

I signed this order to stand up for the promise of every student in every corner of the state. The research is clear, and we need to put student wellbeing first. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/07/02/gov…

Celebrity sighting in Wilsonville! Did you know @dollyslibrary now serves children in all 36 counties since I announced a statewide expansion last year? imaginationlibrary.com/oregon/

Lightning storms across our state are igniting dozens of fires. We are in the heart of wildfire season. Right now is the time to practice fire prevention and preparedness, Oregon. Stay alert and stay informed: odffire.com/2025/07/01/all…

We have to build more homes that people can afford and our economic prosperity depends on it. I designed HAPO to help make things happen, and I’m excited to see what we’ll get done. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/briefs/gov-kot…

I’m laser focused on making sure every student across the state receives a high-quality education, and I’m making progress. facebook.com/share/p/1BiHjn…

The best firefighting strategy is prevention, and Oregon, you can help. Learn about your local restrictions at oregon.gov/odf/fire/pages…

Happy Independence Day, Oregon!

Every single year we pay our federal taxes, & those dollars come back to our state through vital services like health care, food assistance & more. Now, those dollars will be siphoned into the pockets of those who need it least. This budget was inked in greed, not human dignity.

I signed Executive Order 25-09 to stand up for the promise of every student in every corner of the state.
