ABOUT ANNA SCHARF

Anna is married to a 4th generation farmer outside Amity and has two grown children. Anna has been married to her husband for almost 25 years and works with him and his family on the family farm, while also serving as your current State Representative.

STRONG ADVOCATE FOR NATURAL RESOURCES

Anna raised concerns with the Governor’s 2024 Housing and UGB expansion package. Her concerns were centered on the lack of protections for farms and forests on the edge of housing developments. She will continue to advocate for a sensible rural urban interface.

UNDERSTANDING LOCAL BUSINESS NEEDS

Family businesses, Main Street businesses and large employers are challenged now more than ever. As a small business owner Anna understands those challenges firsthand. Anna will continue to work to protect our business from government overreach and burdensome regulations.

PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITIES

During the 2024 Legislative Session, Lawmakers took a step towards solving the crisis caused by the passage of Ballot Measure 110. However, there is still much work to do to give our local law enforcement the tools they need. Anna will continue to advocate for law enforcement while working to improve access to treatment for those seeking help with their addictions.

SUCCESSFULLY PARTNERING WITH LOCAL ELECTED LEADERS TO GET RESULTS

Working with Polk and Yamhill County officials at all levels is important to Anna. Anna has been involved with the Newberg-Dundee Bypass project since she took office in 2021 and will continue to work with local leaders to understand infrastructure needs, and advocate to bring necessary resources to our communities.
