Oregon’s next Secretary of State is going to face challenges unlike anything we have ever seen. Free and democratic elections are the cornerstone of our society. Yet, we have not even seen the lengths to which hostile foreign governments will go to undermine our democracy. Donald Trump has shown that he isn’t concerned about these threats, as long as they benefit him. That’s why Oregon’s Secretary of State has to be prepared to fight these threats to our democracy today and have the vision to see the threats facing the next generation. I have been in public service in Oregon since I served on the school board in 2011, and today I serve as a Democrat in the Oregon Senate.

Everybody who has served with me, whether Republicans, Democrats, on every side of every issue, whether they like me or not, can agree on one thing: I take on tough fights, and win them.

I’ll take the voices of our District with me into the legislature. All of them, including those with opinions that challenge me. I’m not a career politician, that’s why I’m not taking corporate donations or corporate PAC money of any kind. This is a people-powered campaign, and I hope you’ll join us.

My name is Mary Middleton and I’m running for Oregon State Representative in District 4 because I have a strong commitment to service to the community. I believe in building each other up, investing locally in the community and working together for the common good. I am a teacher at the nearby community college and serve on multiple boards throughout the community. Join my campaign to promote education, collaboration, and community. I will work to honor the will of the people in Southern Oregon while also work to protect our beautiful environment for us and future generations.

More about Mary

When I was just a young girl growing up in the Mid-West, I learned to negotiate at the dining room table. As the fourth child of six, I also learned to collaborate. By working together we achieved more than satisfaction, we learned from each other and grew together. As your elected representative I will bring those skills with me.
I am a teacher and have been teaching for more than 20 years. My experience includes teaching in several communities with varied levels of students from kindergarten through college. I know firsthand the power that education has to change one’s life. I believe that everyone should have access to an affordable education and will work towards finding solutions for us all. I teach at the local community college and will fight for funding for our students and our community. My education includes a BA in Mathematics and an MS in Applied Mathematics.
My prior community work includes serving as campaign manager during the 2013-2014 campaign to protect local farmers by banning the growth of genetically engineered crops. I had the opportunity to work directly with many local farmers and businesses. Learning about and understanding the challenges farmers and businesses face daily fuels my commitment to make a difference. I have continued to volunteer with Oregonians for Safe Farms and Families in Josephine County and Our Family Farms in Jackson County. Both groups have been to Salem several times lobbying on behalf of farmers in the region and throughout Oregon. I will continue to advocate for the small family farmer when elected.
In this time of polarity in our nation, we need our elected representatives to be willing to talk across the aisle. We need collaborators and negotiators who are willing to represent the will of the people and work for community improvement.
The Rogue Valley and surrounding area is one of the most beautiful regions in the United States; many are drawn here for the climate, astounding beauty and wide-range of activities. I feel blessed to work in a professional field of my choice, to live in such an abundant agricultural area and to be surrounded by so many people whom I love and respect.

Voters should know that I earned everything I have through hard work and determination. When elected I will work to protect our citizens from individual tax and fee increases by reestablishing a Timber Severance that forces Wall Street to pay it’s fair share in Oregon again. I believe that Southwestern Oregon deserves a better percentage than Washington and California where this capital was never diverted, and I will establish no less than a 5% return on this Wall Street money to County government and public safety, it makes beautiful financial sense.

Working Together for Our Community
My family and I live in Selma and have been sustainably farming 10 acres, raising chickens, and growing pesticide free fruits and vegetables. I’m running for State Senate because our current representatives are not addressing issues that matter most to our community, including jobs, affordable housing, the climate crisis and its effect on our forests and wildfires, health care, and the funding of public health and education.Our politics have disintegrated into a cold war, failing to focus on joining together across the aisle to work on issues that matter. We need to work together, and I am dedicated to doing this.
