​Biography


Virgle and his wife call beautiful Douglas County home, cherishing the bounty of hunting, fishing, and outdoor adventures the region has to offer.

Now serving his second term as State Representative for Oregon House District 2, which includes towns like Roseburg, Sutherlin and Yoncalla, as well as the breathtaking Umpqua National Forest, Virgle works tirelessly to improve the lives of his constituents and ensure rural communities continue to thrive.

With deep roots in Douglas County, Oregon, Virgle Osborne has dedicated his life to fostering and uplifting the vibrant communities of southern Oregon.  Growing up in a close-knit town with fewer than 4,000 residents, Virgle developed a profound appreciation for the unique challenges and opportunities faced by rural areas – a passion that has become the cornerstone of his mission.

Virgle's commitment to public service is evident through his extensive involvement.  As a team leader for the Douglas County Search and Rescue Team, he has played an instrumental role in ensuring the safety of his community, including specialized participation in 4x4 and Snowcat operations.  His leadership extended to commissions such as the Winston Planning Commission and the Douglas County Planning Commission, where he served as chairman, shaping policies to support local growth.  Presently, he chairs the Oregon Parks and Recreation OHV Oversight Committee and the Sub-Committee, further demonstrating his dedication to preserving and promoting outdoor recreation in Oregon.

In 2019, Virgle founded Champagne Creek Ranch, a nonprofit organization that serves as a haven for first responders, children, and adults with physical limitations.  Additionally, the ranch has become a hub for local kids' ATV training, mountain biking, hiking and other outdoor recreation.

Beyond public service, Virgle is a successful entrepreneur owning Twin Peaks Offroad since 2014.  His first hands-on experiences as a small business owner offers him firsthand insight into challenges faced by local business.  He also served as a Senior Account Manager at FCC Commercial Furniture, bridging business expertise with community-oriented services.
