During my first 2 years as your State Representative, I was busy fighting legislation that would harm our Coastal Communities. This was and always be my top priority as your representative. I will continue to fight and stand up against any legislation that would harm our local and statewide businesses and industries.
While keeping my top priority, I was very successful in our first legislative session working on solutions for our coastal communities. These include the following:
- Rural Veterans Healthcare Transportation Grant Program for our Veterans
- Green Bag Bottle Drop programs on the coast
- Investments in our Port of Coos Bay
- Water infrastructure investments for Lakeside & Mapleton
- Investments in the arts – Little Theater on the Bay renovation
- Investments in public safety – Firefighters training center tower at Southwestern Oregon Community College
BOOMER WRIGHT: LOOKING OUT FOR OREGON’S COASTAL COMMUNITIES
I’ve lived here for nearly 50 years. We’ve raised 4 children and have 7 grandchildren.
I’ve educated children as a teacher, principal, and superintendent. I know how to listen, manage, and bring about positive change. We need coastal common sense in Salem. -BOOMER WRIGHT
