Dear Friends and Neighbors: On January 9, 2023 I was sworn in for a twelfth consecutive term as a member of the Oregon House of Representatives serving House District 57​. I’m very proud to be representing Umatilla, Morrow, Gilliam, Sherman, Wheeler, Wasco, Jefferson, Marion & Clackamas Counties. The Oregon Legislature is a citizen’s legislature. Your participation is essential. If there is something you want me to know I hope you will give me a call, send me an email, or write me a letter. Even better, the door to my office is always open – so come on in. In Oregon, an idea for a law can come from anyone: an individual, a group of citizens, a legislator, a legislative committee, the Governor, or even the Judicial Branch. I encourage you to contact me if you have an idea that you believe would make good public policy for the citizens of Oregon. If my office can help you track a piece of legislation, assist in finding the right government agency to assist you, or if you just have a question, call me at 503-986-1457 or email me at [email protected]. By working together, we can continue to accomplish great things for Eastern Oregon.
