Looking for a Bill

If there is a bill you are hearing about either in the news of elsewhere, finding it is easy. The Legislature has a great tool available to you within the legislative website at https://www.oregonlegislative.gov.  From the homepage you can access bill information by clicking on the Oregon Legislative Information System OLIS icon in the menu bar.

Once inside OLIS you will see a summary of the day’s events, including hearings, floor sessions and other Capitol events.  You will also see a menu at the top right with an icon for “Bills” which is a great place to start.

You can search for bills either by the bill number of if you do not know the bill number you can search by keyword text or by the bill’s sponsor.  Both House and Senate bills can be searched by hovering over the results, then you can read the bill summary to help narrow it down to what you are looking for. 

Happy May Birthdays

Celebrating National Nurse's Week

I enjoyed a wonderful visit with the nurses and staff of Sacred Heart Medical Center, Riverbend during National Nurse's Week.  To all of the amazing nurses around the world and especially my little sister Wendy Simpson (St. Louis, Missouri) thank you for your caring healing service to the sick

Visitors Information

We love to host visitors in the State Capitol during session.  Each day Senator Manning hosts groups of constituents from his district who are there to advocate for some of the things that are under consideration by the Legislature.    The Capitol in Salem is visitor-friendly and open to the public during regular business hours.    If you would like to lobby the Legislature, testify on a bill, or visit the Chamber, please contact our office and we would be more than happy to assist in making your visit meaningful.

Farewell to Codi Trudell

The Oregon State is bidding farewell to one our valuable staff members in the Senate Majority Office – Codi Trudell- who is moving on to a position with the Oregon Department of Transportation.  Codi has been a real asset in her role as outreach coordinator, and has brought a great deal of expertise to our office regarding public policy and particularly elections issues. 

I wish her well in her new role in ODOR’s Office of Civil Rights

Staff Changes

I want to inform you of staffing changes taking place in the District 7 Capitol Office.  Tiffany Telfer Edwards will no longer be working in the Capitol office, but she will be with me through May acting in an advisory capacity from her home office. It has been so helpful to have someone with direct legislative experience help me and Lawanda with all of the nuances of a legislative session.  I now feel confident and comfortable with Lawanda staffing the office through the end of session and into the interim.  I thank Tiffany for her work on behalf of District 7 and wish her well in her next endeavor.
