Response of Kurt Schrader (D-Ore.)

"Hate crimes are certainly a problem in Oregon and recent reporting suggests that they are on the rise. I support the bipartisan No Hate Act, introduced by my colleague Don Beyer of Virginia, which I previously cosponsored in 2017. This bill would create a reporting system for hate crimes, provide grants to states for reporting hotlines and allow for additional penalties to include education classes and community service. There is no place for white supremacy or hate in the state of Oregon."
