Lori Kuechler has been appointed to the Oregon House by Clackamas, Hood River and Multnomah county commissioners.
Following last month’s resignation by Rep. Anna Williams from the Oregon House, commissioners held a joint session this afternoon to interview candidates and select a replacement.
The session was held over Zoom and will be archived on Clackamas County’s YouTube Channel today or tomorrow morning.
Oregon law requires that a legislative vacancy be filled by county commissioners representing the district in which the vacancy exists. House District 52 includes voters in Clackamas, Hood River and Multnomah counties. Finalists were selected by the local Democratic Party, as deemed by state law.
