Lee Beyer has been married to his wife Terry for 45 years.  They raised all three of their children in Springfield and continue to live there today.

After military service, Lee attended Lane Community College and the University of Oregon, financing his education with the GI Bill and working the swing shift at a local mill.   He graduated from the University with a degree in management and started his first professional job in Corvallis managing vocational training programs.  During that period, Lee assisted the Linn, Benton and Lincoln County Commissions in establishing the forerunner of today’s non-profit Community Services Consortium, Inc.

In the mid-1970s, Lee accepted a position as a management analyst with the Oregon Executive Department.   In 1978, Lee began managing one of the largest employment and vocational training programs in Oregon.   In 1983, Lee joined the Eugene Business Assistance Team, formed in the midst of the 1980s recession to help promote economic recovery.  Lee worked as a small business advocate and development consultant through 1997 when he was hired as the Executive Director for the Metro Partnership, Inc.

Lee’s community service began in 1978 when he was appointed to the Springfield City Planning Commission.  That appointment led to his first elective office as a Springfield City Councilor in 1986, where he remained until 1993.  In 1991 he entered the Oregon Legislature as a state representative.  In 1998 Lee was elected to the State Senate.

In 2001, Governor Kitzhaber asked Lee to join the Oregon Public Utility Commission, a consumer protection regulatory agency that oversees all private electric, telecommunications, natural gas and water utilities.  During his almost nine years on the Commission, Lee developed a reputation as a tough but fair regulator.  In that time period, the Commission protected ratepayers from over $600 million in requested rate increases.   At the same time, at Commission direction, Oregon became a national leader in pursuing energy efficiency and shifting to renewable energy resources.

Lee returned to the legislature in 2011. Throughout that time he has chaired the Senate Business and Transportation committee.

Fighting for Our Southern Oregon Values in Salem

I am honored to represent you in our state’s government. For two years, I have pushed back against the Portland agenda and worked to stop dangerous police reform, burdensome tax increases, and damaging education policies. The safety of our community and support for our law enforcement officers has been a top priority, and I’ve worked to change and stop legislation that would have defunded our police and made our neighborhoods less safe.

Government Overreach is out of control

The past two years have shown us just how untrustworthy our state agencies have become. I am working continuously to stop government mandates and bring accountability, transparency, and efficiency to agencies like the Oregon Health Authority, Department of Education, and the Housing & Community Services Department. These agencies are funded by your tax dollars, and they must serve your needs above the governor’s.

Advancing Our Priorities

As your State Representative, I will continue to:

  • Protect your wallet from new and higher taxes
  • Defend our Constitutional rights and restore personal freedom
  • Support our law enforcement officers and first responders
  • Fight for choice and quality in education and medical freedom for our kids
  • Address the root causes of homelessness
  • Create housing options that working families can afford
  • Push for responsible forest management to strengthen our local economy and address yearly wildfires

Lynn has been married to his wife, Shelley, for 44 years. They have two daughters and one grandson. Lynn visits his grandson in Idaho each weekend during the fall to cheer him on during youth football games.

Lynn has the work ethic and values rural communities need as they fight to retain jobs and attract new economic development opportunities. He worked for Fire and Aviation Management within the Bureau of Land Management for 32 years, this experience gave him extensive program management and budgeting experience developing local, regional and national budgets with BLM.

More recently, Lynn served as the City Manager of Vale, OR for 5 years. During that time, he was able to secure funding for an $8.5 million water system upgrade to the municipal system, which brought the city water into compliance with safe drinking water standards.

Additionally, he served on the Malheur County Planning Commission, Lakeview City Planning Commission, Malheur County Rural Lands Committee, Southeast Area Commission on Transportation, and the Malheur County Economic Development Board.

During his time in the Oregon Legislature, Lynn hopes to maintain and enhance current efforts in the protection of the Agriculture and Natural Resource Industry, increase collaboration with state and local government agencies to remove and prevent un-necessary regulatory restrictions related to economic development, and develop active cooperative efforts with public land management agencies to ensure local collaboration for long term stability and multiple use of public lands.

Lynn is humbled to have been chosen to represent Senate District 30 and hopes to make a positive impact not only for the residents of his district, but for Oregonians in every corner of the state.

Marty Wilde

Representative Marty Wilde grew up in rural Oregon. His father was an organic farmer on the coast range, his mother was an educator. His family was poor but were able to survive with the support of his community and the government. Investments in programs like Medicaid, food stamps, and public schools allowed him and his sister to succeed. This experience formed the base of his belief that the government should care for its citizens and his desire to serve his community to pay back that debt.

After graduating from University of Maryland, Marty decided to commit himself to public service by joining the Oregon Army National Guard and later the Air National Guard. Through his 25 years of military service Rep. Wilde has fought forest fires in Oregon, worked on converting a coal plant in Alaska, prosecuted cases of sexual assault in Qatar, hunted down war criminals in Bosnia, and served as Chief, Rule of Law in Afghanistan. He was awarded a Bronze Star Medal for his work in Afghanistan.

While in the Oregon National Guard, Marty attended Law School at University of Oregon. Between his deployments, he volunteered as a Court Appointed Special Advocate and served as an Assistant District Attorney in Texas and later as a Deputy District Attorney in Albany, Oregon. In Texas, he earned a Master of Laws in health law at University of Houston. Later, he completed a Master of Science in Healthcare Administration from the University of Maryland.

He moved back to Eugene in 2010 where he began to work more directly to improve the community. He served as President of City Club of Eugene for two years, served on the Eugene City Budget Committee for three years, and volunteered as a Long Term Care Ombudsman. In Eugene, he continued to support survivors of domestic violence as a volunteer with the Senior Law Service, while also working in a family law practice. He transitioned to serving as the Executive Director of the Lane County Medical Society where he worked to help improve access to care for patients on the Oregon Health Plan, unionize physicians, and organize a Women’s Circle to help female physicians network and support one another. Marty lives in Lane County with his wife, Monique, and his two children.​

Michael Dembrow

/in /by

Michael Dembrow is the state senator for District 23, covering portions of NE and SE Portland and the city of Maywood Park. First elected by voters in 2008 to the state house, he is serving his third elected term in the Senate after being appointed to the seat in November 2013. Voters re-elected Michael to the Senate in November 2014 and again in 2016 and 2020.

Michael currently serves as Chair of the Senate Education Committee. He also sits on the Judiciary Committee, the Energy and Environment Committee, and the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Education.

During his time in the legislature, Michael has been a leader in successful efforts to raise Oregon’s minimum wage, implement paid sick days for Oregon workers, substantially increase funding for career and technical education across the state, and fight wage theft. He was also involved in overhauling Oregon’s higher education governance structure to reduce the compartmentalization of higher education and workforce development. In the past few years, his focus has turned from workforce issues to the environment and criminal justice reform. He is leading the fight to establish a cap on greenhouse-gas emissions in Oregon, while also working on youth sentencing reforms, increasing prison education opportunities and removing barriers faced by ex-offenders as they reenter society and the workforce.

In addition to his legislative committee assignments, Michael also serves on the Oregon Workforce Investment Board, the Oregon Youth Conservation Corps Advisory Committee, the Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education, and the Oregon Commission on Asian and Pacific Islander Affairs.

He is a member of the National Conference of State Legislatures bipartisan Task Force on Immigration and the States, which works on a variety of issues related to immigration. He led the effort to extend tuition equity and other opportunities for Oregon’s “Dreamers,” undocumented young people who have been the collatoral damage of our nation’s broken immigration system.

Michael is a retired English instructor at Portland Community College’s Cascade campus in North Portland. He taught writing and film studies at the college beginning in 1981, and served as the President of the PCC faculty union for 16 years. He continued to teach one or two classes per term after being elected to the House in 2008, and recently retired fully from teaching.

In 2007, Michael was appointed by Gov. Ted Kulongoski to the State Board of Education. Michael’s passion for film drives his involvement in the Cascade Festival of African Films, which he helped create in 1991. The Festival, which Michael is co-director of, has grown in size each year since its founding. He was also one of the first members of the Portland chapter of Jobs With Justice.

Michael earned his undergraduate degree in English from the University of Connecticut and his Master’s degree in Comparative Literature from Indiana University. Michael and his wife Kiki have lived in District 23 for over 30 years. They have a son, Nikolai and a daughter, Tatyana, and two grandchildren.
