Great to meet folks in Douglas, Jackson, and Josephine counties for town hall conversations this weekend. These meetings and the ideas that Oregonians bring to them for how to make our state—and our world—a better place are critical to my work. Thank you to everyone who came out!

I want to hear what others are experiencing as TSA deploys facial recognition at airports across the country. Anyone who wants to share your experiences with this, please use merkley.senate.gov/contact to contact my office.

Email Jeff - Merkley

As your United States Senator, the concerns and priorities of the people of Oregon are critical to the decisions Jeff makes in Congress. To ask him a question or share your concerns on an issue,...

.@TSA says that the use of facial recognition is voluntarily. But the last two times I went through security, there were no signs that it was voluntary, and the TSA agent gave me hard time when I informed them of my right to opt-out. washingtonpost.com/technolog…

You can say no to a TSA face scan. But even a senator had trouble.

Some airport travelers, including a U.S. senator, are having trouble saying no to security technology that's supposed to be voluntary.

My company just listed on LinkedIn a job posting for what I’m currently doing (so we’re hiring another UX writer) and now thanks to salary transparency laws, I see that they intend to pay this person $32k-$90k more than they currently pay me, so I applied.

Serious question to people who lived through the era. Was there as much controversy surrounding David Bowie wearing make-up and crossdressing as there seems to be in the current culture?

Don’t forget: Republicans blocked a $35 insulin cap for children to protect the profits of Big Pharma. Democrats will continue working to lower the cost of insulin for every American!

The funding bills I'm championing make significant investments in small ports and shipyards, boost salmon and steelhead recovery, and support our fishing industry, all while taking on the impacts climate chaos is inflicting on marine ecosystems. Big wins for coastal communities!
