75th Oregon Legislative Assembly - House Members

House Members

See also: Oregon legislative elections, 2008

The Oregon House of Representatives is composed of 36 Democrats and 24 Republicans. Democrats gained five seats over the previous session, in which they had a slim 31–29 majority; the gain is the greatest accomplished by either party since at least 1985. The 36-seat threshold is a significant one, as it gives Democrats a three-fifths supermajority in the chamber and allows them to pass bills which will raise taxes or fees without Republican support.

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or members:

    “A serious house on serious earth it is,
    In whose blent air all our compulsions meet,
    Are recognised, and robed as destinies,
    And that much never can be obsolete,”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1985)

    “The English people believes itself to be free; it is gravely mistaken; it is free only during election of members of parliament; as soon as the members are elected, the people is enslaved; it is nothing. In the brief moment of its freedom, the English people makes such a use of that freedom that it deserves to lose it.”
    —Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)
