Biography
Edit

It is an honor to represent the people of North and Northeast Portland in the Oregon Legislature. We are a district rich in diversity and ambition.

I continue to serve as the Senate Majority Whip alongside my friend Senator Sara Gelser Blouin. For the 2025 session, I am newly appointed as the Chair of the Senate Education Committee and Co-Chair of the Joint Ways & Means Subcommittee on Natural Resources. I also continue to serve on the full Joint Ways and Means Committee, its Subcommittee on Education, and the Joint Committee on Legislative Policy and Research.

We continue to face urgent problems with scarce resources with which to solve them. I believe in asking of every decision, “How will this make our lives better, in my District and in the State as a whole?” I think we also have to consider, "Will this decision make something worse?" I am proud of the work we have done to focus what we have on building our economic vitality and security. I will continue to focus on increasing economic opportunities, protecting and improving our environment both locally and globally, improving public safety in a real, meaningful and humane way, and ensuring access to a complete and comprehensive education for every child, close to home.

I sincerely value your input, questions and concerns; in fact, I need them. Please do not hesitate to contact my office regarding any issue that is important to you or for help navigating government resources. You can contact my office at 503-986-1722, or by email at Sen.LewFrederick@oregonlegislature.gov. Please know that we see and hear every message that we receive and as we get hundreds of calls and emails per day, we appreciate your patience as we respond to any questions you may ask.

Sincerely,
