On this page, you will find information related to state specific legislation that deals with mechanical insulation and labor, Political Action Committee (PAC) guidelines and information for the state’s federally elected officials.

The Oregon legislature has two chambers - a House of Representatives which has 60 members and A Senate consisting of 30 Senators.

The House members serve two-year terms and the Senators serve four year-terms.

There are no term limits in Oregon.

To run for the Oregon legislature you must be 21 years of age, a U.S. citizen and have lived in the district in which you are running for one year prior to the election.

The legislature meets annually. In odd numbered years they convene on the second Monday in January with the session lasting 160 days. This is considered the regular session. In even numbered years the legislature meets for 35 days, the short session, begins in February. 

Both chambers are controlled by the Democrats.
