By Oregon State Representative Boomer Wright,
Just before midnight last night we finally put the nail in the coffin of the last-ditch attempt by the Democrats and Governor to impose on Oregon families and economy, the largest tax increase in Oregon history. They fought hard to get HB 2025 through the process but, procedurally, we denied advancement of rules and ran the clock out on their bill.
We were able to block their back-up attempt with HB 3402 creating a win for all Oregonians, officially ending the 2025 session, and denying a win for the Democrats and Governor.
We did not get every bad bill blocked but, we as a minority party did some amazing teamwork to repeal wildfire maps, kill 2 our of 3 terrible gun bills, and save us from an enormous tax increase for all Oregonians.
This session has been at times frustrating, irritating, challenging and much hard work occurring both in and off committees and the Floor. I want to thank those of you who encouraged me to never give up, never give in, never quit, and never surrender. We stayed, we fought, we won!
– Rep. Boomer Wright
