Pamplin Media Group - Kayse Jama appointed to Oregon Senate District 24 seat

Kayse Jama appointed to Oregon Senate District 24 seat
January 20 2021
Executive director of Unite Oregon appointed to fill spot vacated by Secretary of State Shemia Fagan
Commissioners representing Multnomah and Clackamas counties unanimously cast votes to approve Kayse Jama as the next state senator to represent District 24, covering portions of east Portland and northern Clackamas County.
"The magnitude of this moment is not lost on me," Jama said. "My journey from a nomadic community in Somalia to the Oregon Senate is a testament to where I come from, the people of our district, and our shared values."
Jama — executive director of the nonprofit advocacy group Unite Oregon — will join Oregon's legislative assembly ahead of a session that is expected to take aim at advancing issues of racial justice and fixing systemic inequities further exposed and exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Multnomah and Clackamas county commissioners unanimously voted Wednesday to appoint Kayse Jama to the seat representing Oregon Senate District 24. The vote made history: Jama becomes the first Muslim to hold an Oregon Senate seat.
Secretary of State Shemia Fagan vacated the District 24 seat, which represents East Portland and parts of Clackamas County, after her victory in November.

Pamplin Media Group - New Clackamas County commissioners dive right into business

New Clackamas County commissioners dive right into business
Tootie Smith, Mark Shull take seats to tackle reopening plans and wildfire recovery
One new and one familiar face joined the Clackamas Board of County Commissioners in its first meeting of 2021 on Tuesday, Jan. 5, to hear updates on several topics and issues facing the county.
County Chair Tootie Smith and Commissioner Mark Shull — both elected to the board in 2020 — took their official oaths of office in private ceremonies over the holidays and will participate in a ceremonial swearing on Wednesday, Jan. 13.
Smith, a political veteran who has served as both a state legislator and Clackamas County commissioner, seemed not to miss a beat in her four-year absence from public service as she dove head first into county business while leading the meeting. Shull chimed in on occasion to offer his view or asking questions to clarify details.
