Janelle S Bynum

Occupation: Local Business Owner

Occupational Background: Electrical Engineer

Educational Background: B.S., Florida A&M University; M.B.A., University of Michigan

Prior Governmental Experience: State Representative, 51st District; North Clackamas School District Parent Leadership Alliance

Janelle Bynum: Fighting for every opportunity, for every Oregonian.

As the daughter of public-school teachers, I grew up learning the value of education and its ability to unlock opportunity for working families.

As a mom and a local business owner, I know how families have struggled to stay above water these past two years.

As your representative in Salem, I’m committed to delivering opportunities for each and every Oregonian.

In Salem, I have dedicated my work to restoring and strengthening opportunities for all, from our local schools to working families to Oregon businesses. Together, we’ve:

  • Passed historic investments to Oregon schools and addressed teacher burnout and education workforce shortages to ensure kids have a safe environment to learn in 5 days a week.
  • Supported small businesses and working families through the pandemic by reducing barriers for small businesses, passing the Paid Medical Family Leave Act, and decreasing income taxes for working families.
  • Addressed the homeless crisis with urgency by providing funding to support struggling Oregonians to transition into critical housing and support services.

There is still so much to do to recover from COVID-19, get families back to work and school and rebuild a more equitable Oregon. I’m asking to continue that work with you. I’ll work to address the rise of homelessness, expand affordable housing for all income levels, and build an economy that works for working families and small businesses.

A father, husband, fourth-generation Oregonian, and public school graduate, Jason brings Bend’s values to Salem.

As our State Representative, Jason has kept his promise, delivering for us in Salem on the issues that matter most, including:

  • Strengthening our public schools by passing the largest K-12 budget in state history, working to reopen our schools safely, and delivering investments in career and technical education and affordable college.
  • Tackling the homelessness and the affordable housing crisis by championing legislation to build more affordable housing here in Bend and create a County-wide coordinated response to homelessness by making targeted investments to help get people off the streets and into stable housing.
  • Fighting for an economy that works for every Oregonian, including investing in living wage jobs, expanding access to childcare, and creating job training and workforce development programs.
  • Advocating for affordable, accessible health care, by lowering prescription costs and expanding access to mental health care.
  • Taking climate action by putting Oregon on the path to 100% clean energy by 2040, creating green energy jobs, and mitigating the risk of wildfire.
  • Working for a safer, more just Oregon by investing in crime and violence prevention programs and funding programs to help survivors of domestic and sexual violence.

Jeff Golden

Occupation: State Senator

Occupational Background: River guide, carpenter/contractor, broadcast producer/host, journalist, mediator, legislator

Educational Background: Harvard, Stanford M.A, Union carpentry school

Prior Governmental Experience: Jackson County Commissioner, Senate President Chief-of-Staff, State Senator

Serving in the Oregon Senate is an honor that I ask you to extend me for a second term. Between sudden walkouts that repeatedly halted work and the stress of zigzagging COVID restrictions, the first term was rough. Yes, there was progress. I’m proud of our foresty work, with massive legislation to recover from wildfires past and reduce wildfires and smoke crises going forward, as well as historic agreements that could end the timber wars. Unprecedented, mostly thoughtful investments in early childhood programs, mental health, housing and water development moves us in the right direction. And it was a true pleasure to steer funding to public safety/fire facilities in Phoenix, SOU-RCC,and amazing community groups like Kid Time, Family Nurturing Center, Armadillo Tech, RV Habitat and Rogue Retreat.

Enough bragging–there’s so much left to do. Too many Oregonians are on the streets, or one missed paycheck away. Barriers to education are too high. We’re not doing what’s needed to shift the trends that generate drought and devastating wildfires. The tax system leans too heavily on modestly-earning Oregonians and too little on many who write eye-popping campaign checks. That and more come from Oregon’s failure to regulate money in politics, exhibit #1 on our list of unfinished business.

Bottom line? We’re not on track to leave our kids and grandkids the Oregon they deserve. In the coming four years I will do everything I can to move us towards that track.

With thanks, Jeff

“Senator Golden’s fierce commitment to solving problems without seeking credit shines through all the work we’ve done together. He truly serves us.” —Jamie McLeod-Skinner

“As a persistent champion for campaign finance reform, Jeff’s shown he’s who we need in Salem.” — Terrie Martin, Phoenix businesswoman and journalist

Bringing People Together. Getting Things Done.

As your State Representative, I fought for conservative values. I still hold these principals, but much has changed since I served. Salem Politicians are out of control. In law enforcement, I held people accountable, and in Salem, I'll do the same.

Defending Law Enforcement; Men and women who put their lives on the line every day to protect us deserve better. We must not tolerate the rhetoric that Oregon should “defund police”. As a military veteran and former police officer, I'll stand up every day to protect those who protect us.

Ending Government Overreach; For two years, the Democrat-majority in the Legislature did nothing to stop Kate Brown’s mandates and executive orders that controlled our lives, shut down businesses, and harmed our kids’ education. The results were devastating. We live in a free country. It’s time our elected leaders start acting like it.

Investing in Education: As a father, I know the importance of funding public education and ensuring our schools work for our children. Additionally, we must teach our children to be independent thinkers and schools must engage parents transparently about curriculum.

Promoting Economic Growth: Without small business, Oregon’s economy suffers. As an Economic Development and Trade member, I helped develop and grow businesses in our community. Attracting stable, good-paying jobs to our District continues to be my focus.
