Her nomination was unanimously confirmed by the US Senate and she completed two terms on the Council.” (Campaign Website)
“I am in the Capitol full time when the Legislature in session but work primarily in the district during the interim. Regardless of whether my staff and I are in the Capitol, you can find my official office at the back of the 2 nd floor in room 211. Please stop by to say hello to staff, grab a piece of chocolate or a sticker. Kids are always welcome!” (Oregon Legislature Official Member Profile)
