Representative James Hieb has given his life to public service. As a father, a husband, a combat war veteran in the Iraq War, and a small business owner, James is exactly the representative Oregonians need in Salem.

Unlike James’ opponent, Christine Drazan, James doesn’t view politics as a career. Take a look around. The country we once knew has become UNRECOGNIZABLE. From crime, to the drug crisis, to open borders and inflation, it’s the career politicians who got us here and profited off of it. They are bought and controlled by their lobbyist’s elite agenda.

James is a fighter. He loves Oregon and America. James isn’t beholden to special interests, big money, or millionaire corporate donors. He doesn’t have the “flash” like Christine Drazan. He’s one of you. The political elites can’t control him and they know it.

Oregon doesn’t need A NEW DIRECTION, Oregon needs to go BACK in the RIGHT direction. Re-electing James Hieb to Oregon’s 51st House District is a crucial step to giving power back to the people of Oregon. Join us!

James shifted significant resources away from Progressive Portland organizations to support impactful projects needed in Clackamas County.

  • $45 million for the new Clackamas County Courthouse in Oregon City

  • $2.4 million for the Estacada Wastewater Treatment Plant to help keep water & sewer rates down while improving housing affordability

  • $4 million for the Walnut Street extension in Canby

  • $4 million for the Clackamas County Crisis Stabilization Center

  • $1.56 million for Bridges to Change Clackamas County Scattered Housing

  • $1.4 million for the Vietnam War Memorial Foundation

  • $1.5 million for The Canby Center

  • $850,000 to the Boring Oregon Foundation for building a new community center

As a State House Representative, James also stood up for what’s right, often alone, and advocated for the needs of his District and the people of Oregon, some of which includes:

  • Was the first legislator to walk out on HB 2002 and HB 2005 as the only House Representative to deny quorum before the Senators did.

  • Supports the full REPEAL of Measure 110, re-criminalizing hard drugs in Oregon.

  • Increased funding to local law enforcement agencies to help combat organized theft rings.

  • Stopped the tolling of I-205 until 2026 - but Tina Kotek moved tolling forward by executive order so, there’s work yet to be done.

  • Increased funding for educational programs operated by the military department for at-risk youth.

  • Increased funding for mental healthcare and drug treatment facilities.

  • Increased penalties for sexualization of minors.

  • Improved the foster care system.

  • Directed the Department of Agriculture to adopt rules that allow for the donation of meat to organizations that offer food for non-commercial purposes.

  • Reduced certain fines a city or town can impose for parking tickets.

  • Improved access to mental health services in agricultural communities.
