Oregon House Republicans

05/25/2026

Today, we honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to the United States. Their courage, sacrifice, and devotion to this country secured the freedoms we enjoy every day.

On this Memorial Day, the Oregon House Republicans remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We owe them a debt that can never be repaid.

“Revenue may be up on paper, but that is not the same as real economic growth. It is up because the majority party raised taxes on Oregonians by disconnecting from federal tax relief, not because Oregon families and employers are thriving.”

On May 15th, our Nation remembers those who gave their all on the line of duty. We honor those, and their loved ones, who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend and uphold the pillars of our democracy.

200 flags in the driveway
199 flags for Oregon fallen—no new names this year
1 for all others in the country

182 firefighters—3 additional names will be added in June 16th

“Oregon retail employment began falling again about three years ago and is now down nearly 6% compared to 2019, according to state figures. Retail jobs are down nationally, too, but only by about 1%.”

Once again Oregon lags behind the national average in an economic sector that provides key entry-level jobs.

The state's retailers are facing many headwinds, including declining consumer confidence and stagnant population growth.

Today, a coalition of businesses, labor unions and trade associations filed suit challenging the state’s authority to implement the Climate Protection Program.

The Governor should have moved to repeal this program from Governor Brown on her first day in office, but instead, those in the crosshairs of this disastrous policy will have to seek relief in the court system.

They should never have been in this position in the first place.

“Protecting instructional time is the right goal, but this executive order does not address the deeper challenges facing our education system. Simply mandating more time, without stronger standards or accountability, risks placing additional strain on teachers, parents, and taxpayers without improving student outcomes.”

He is risen ✝️

Today we celebrate the victory of light over darkness, hope over despair, and life over death. May the miracle of Easter fill your heart with renewed faith, peace, and joy.

"He is not here; He is risen, just as He said." - Matthew 28:6

At today’s State Futures briefing, Rep. W***y Chotzen highlighted Oregon Democrats’ immigration package and their role in a coordinated, multi-state effort to resist federal enforcement.

At the same time, Oregon is suing over the President’s executive order on election integrity. So let’s ask a simple question: what are we actually trying to accomplish? I don’t believe most Oregonians want chaos or division. I think we want solutions.

We want an immigration system that is welcoming, efficient, and humane. But we also want one that is safe and lawful.

We want elections people can trust. Elections that are fair, secure, and accessible for every eligible voter.

BUT…we don’t need to fall into extremes or political narratives to get there! We CAN choose a better path.

House Republicans will continue to stand for public safety, transparency, and the rule of law, and we welcome anyone who wants real solutions to join us.
