I’m Susan McLain, and I believe our unique community deserves a strong voice in Salem. I raised my family here and taught in our local schools for 42 years. I was proud to serve as your representative on the Metro Council for 16 years and as your State Representative for House District 29 since 2015. I am deeply committed to our community, and I have worked my entire life on issues that make us safe and healthy, and that provide strong successful businesses, schools, and families. I have the experience and dedication it takes to continue fighting for great schools, advocating for a strong economy that supports working families, improving our infrastructure systems, and protecting Oregon’s environment.
