Together, We Redefine Possible

As a firefighter/ paramedic and your representative in Salem, I have the honor of serving our community in many ways. These past two years have brought new meaning to our collective challenges. As your representative, I’m proud of the work we’re doing together to help meet these challenges – and to rebuild from them.

As your State Representative, I champion what matters most.

Whether it’s driving down the cost of living, supporting small businesses and working families, addressing homelessness, or building stronger schools and communities, I lead with bravery, compassion, and determination. I fight to keep Oregon a leader in reproductive rights, meaningful community safety and gun violence prevention, and for working families… and I’m not done yet.

We can and must do more to keep Oregon green. Combating the effects of climate change is the reality of my work as a Firefighter and Representative. I worked to pass legislation to curb wildfires and the impacts of climate change.

Everyone deserves a safe place to call home. I secured funding to get struggling Oregonians into housing and shelter, connected to critical support services, and towards homeownership. We all deserve healthy, vibrant communities.

We need a fair economy for all. I championed investing in skills training, protecting workers, reducing barriers to growing small businesses, and requiring corporations pay their fair share.

For a strong future, we need strong schools. I supported record school funding ensuring our teachers, students, and schools have the resources, support, and staffing they need for success.

“A Ferocious Champion for the Coast and Coast Range”

Now more than ever, we need an active, vocal, and effective advocate for our part of Oregon. When so many in Salem prioritize Portland interests, David stands up for us.

Effective: From water projects to fire departments, support for schools, colleges and universities, local cultural centers, ports, airports, and affordable housing, David Gomberg delivers.

Independent: Working with legislators of both parties, David brings people together and bridges political divides.

Accessible: David shows up. David communicates. No one works harder to reach every corner of our sprawling district, to listen, and to help.

"One of the best Champions of Seniors in the Oregon Legislature. We are blessed to have him there to fight for our needs.”

“Gomberg is a Small Business Ally. His experience as a small business owner makes a difference on everything from taxes, to sick leave and regulation, to job creation.”

"We named David a Housing Champion for his leadership funding affordable housing and homelessness solutions."

Every day I see people using their creativity and raw economic courage to build businesses and jobs, young people starting families, retirees bringing a lifetime of experience to our communities. I see all of you helping to make Oregon better, stronger, and more interesting.

As a small business owner, I’ve had to face those challenges myself. As a legislator, I’ve worked to empower that “can do” spirit.

My priorities are better jobs, housing, health care, vocational training, public safety, and government accountability. I believe in good schools, safe neighborhoods, protecting our coast, and independence and dignity for our older neighbors.

Thank you so much for honoring me with the responsibility of representing you.
