2022 OR Senate race: on Government Reform


Jason Beebe: Remove overbearing COVID restrictions on businesses

I am doing everything I can to advocate for removing regulations imposed by our state government, which includes looking under every rock to find a solution for our businesses. I want to be clear that I am not encouraging citizens or businesses to defy state law. What I am trying to do is get these overbearing restrictions removed so that we can live our lives with the liberties and freedoms guaranteed to us by our Constitution and fought and sacrificed for by generations of Americans.

Ron Wyden: Expand early voting, no excuse absentee vote by mail

Senators Ron Wyden & Amy Klobuchar announced The Natural Disaster and Emergency Ballot Act, which would expand early in-person voting and extend "no-excuse absentee vote-by-mail" to all states. The bill would specifically "ensure that voters in all states have 20 days of early in-person voting and no-excuse absentee vote-by-mail and ensure states begin processing votes cast during early voting or by mail 14 days before Election Day to avoid delays in counting votes on Election Day."

Ron Wyden: Protect voting rights with early voting, mail-in ballots

Sen. Amy Klobuchar said, "While President Trump was in the White House ordering a mail-in ballot people in Wisconsin are standing in garbage bags with masks, standing in line having to choose between their health and their right to vote. Now nearly 20 of them are sick, including a poll worker. We can't let that happen in November. That's why Ron Wyden and I are pushing for our bill with the support of civil rights groups, to keep pushing to make sure that we have both vote by mail and early voting."
