Friends and Neighbors,

Thank you for visiting my legislative website.

It is an honor to continue to represent the people of Salem in District 21.

This session I have the privilege of chairing the Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee, as well as serving as a member of the Economic Development and Trade Committee, the Higher Education and Workforce Development Committee, and the Joint Committee On Legislative Information Management and Technology. In this capacity, I intend to continue to push for honest and fair legislation that will benefit our District and the state of Oregon.

This session I am working to expand our progress from previous years. They include:

• Increasing the funding amount for our successful Farm to School program, which brings fresh fruits and vegetables grown in Oregon into our classrooms for our children to enjoy. This legislation helps our family farmers and improves nutrition of school kids across the state.
• Reforming annexation law to provide support to our unincorporated citizens and ensure that they have a voice in a fair and transparent process of becoming part of the cities they live near.
• Working once again as the chief sponsor of legislation that would allocate our votes for president according to the national popular vote.
• Defending PERS and making sure that the state honors the contracts that it has made with our public employees.

As the 79th Legislative Session commences I am excited for the many possibilities it presents. By working together we can make lasting change. I am always open to hearing your opinions and concerns on issues that impact our community and our state. You can contact my office at (503)986-1421 or email me at rep.brianclem@state.or.us.

Sincerely,

Brian Clem
