August 13, 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON, DC [8/13/26] – Today Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici (OR-01) announced that Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read will join her upcoming telephone town hall meeting on election security. Bonamici and Read will provide opening remarks before answering questions from constituents. The telephone town hall meeting will be held on August 26 at 6 p.m. PT. “Oregon’s vote by mail elections are safe and secure, and they allow people across the state to vote from home at a time that works best for them,” said Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici. “It’s unacceptable that Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans continue to demand changes to our election system that would make it harder for millions of eligible voters to make their voices heard. I’m grateful that Sec. Read will join me to answer questions and set the record straight on election security.” “There are a lot of people in power who think it’s okay to throw evidence-free doubt on any election results they don’t like, but the truth is Oregon’s elections are secure, accurate, and fair, and we’re prepared to keep it that way. Transparency and information are the best antidotes to questions and conspiracy theories, so I look forward to talking to Oregonians about everything on their minds ahead of this year’s election,” said Secretary of State Tobias Read . Constituents can sign up to receive a call at Bonamici.house.gov/live . Audio of the telephone town hall meeting will also be available via livestream at Bonamici.house.gov/live . ###
