“Tina is hands down the proven reproductive health champion Oregon needs to be our next Governor. At a moment when Roe vs. Wade hangs by a thread before the U.S. Supreme Court, Oregon needs a Governor who not only believes abortion must remain legal and accessible, but who will champion bold policies that expand access to reproductive health care for Oregonians and anyone who might be forced to travel to our state for care. States like ours have long been leaders in the fight for reproductive freedom, but in this crisis moment, it is critical that we do more. We trust Tina to fight for the future of all Oregonians.”

“Tina Kotek has a proven track record of passing legislation that betters the lives of SEIU members and working families across our state. Following a comprehensive endorsement process, an overwhelming majority of our members believe that Speaker Kotek has the experience and vision to help our state emerge from the pandemic and thrive.” 

“Speaker Kotek has been a longtime supporter of expanding resources for Oregon’s underfunded behavioral health systems and has stood up over and over for the programs and services our members are proud to provide and support,” said Fred Yungbluth, President of Oregon AFSCME.

“We are thrilled to endorse Tina Kotek, who has walked the walk when it comes to fighting for Oregon families. As Speaker of the Oregon House of Representatives, she championed reforms like expanding access to the ballot box by passing a nationally-recognized automatic voter registration law, passing stronger transparency laws so voters know who is funding political ads, and pushing for a comprehensive campaign finance reform package to limit the influence of Big Money, proving that she’s working for the people of Oregon, not the special interests,” said End Citizens United // Let America Vote President Tiffany Muller. “When she’s elected Governor, we know she’ll build off of those efforts to make government work better for hard-working Oregon families and to ensure their voices are heard in Salem.”

“I am thrilled to support Tina Kotek as she fights for the safety of all Oregonians. Her public service record speaks for itself—under her leadership, Oregon has made great strides in the fight against gun violence. Tina and I have worked hand in hand to pass gun safety legislation like universal background checks that will continue saving the lives of Oregonians. Tina is a fierce advocate for gun safety, and she is committed to the commonsense solutions we know will put an end to this epidemic. She has proved time and again that she will always prioritize families and communities in Oregon above all else, and we are lucky to have her in this fight with us. We are proud to endorse Tina Kotek for governor.” – Former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords
