In Oregon, Democrats use second anniversary of Dobbs to reaffirm support for abortion rights
A slew of Democratic politicians have fired off campaign statements and staged events in Oregon and across the country to mark the second anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court decision against abortion rights. On June 24, 2022, the conservative court ruled 6-3 in favor of a Mississippi ban on abortion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. That ruling overturned 50 years of constitutional abortion rights established by Roe v. Wade, kicking the decision on abortion back to the states. ...

My opinion: Life after Measure 110, and what that could mean for Oregonians
On Nov. 3, 2020, Oregonians overwhelmingly voted to pass Ballot Measure 110 and decriminalize the possession of small amounts of certain controlled substances. Almost four years later, it is abundantly clear that the law did not work in the way voters had hoped it would. Because this was a voter-approved measure, the State Legislature’s role was purely procedural. I was still a state legislator representing House District 38 at the time, and it was my job to affirm the will of the people — not...
