Representative Jules Walters

​​​​Jules Waters represents House District 37, including Tualatin and West Linn. In addition to serving as a Co-Chair of the Child Care Caucus, she serves as Vice-Chair of the ​House Committee on Revenue, as well as Co-Vice Chair of the Joint Committee on Tax Expenditures.​​ As a mother of four, her own experiences navigating child care barriers have only strengthened her resolve to break down those obstacles for others.​​​

 

Senator Neron-Misslin

As an educator and a mother of school-aged children, I am dedicated to strengthening our schools and investments in early education, finding solutions for stable and affordable housing, expanding access to affordable and high-quality healthcare, promoting public safety and violence prevention, protecting our environment for generations to come, supporting working families, and fighting for strong, thriving communities. I continue to work on many local issues, and your input throughout the process is essential. From the Sherwood Pedestrian Bridge, seismic improvements needed on the I-5 Boone Bridge, and the Hall Boulevard jurisdictional transfer, to investing in broadband, childcare, housing, and school safety, I am committed to addressing the issues impacting our lives.
