It's a wrap! Literally!

As the 2025 Legislative Session concluded last weekend, the Oregon Pioneer (aka Gold Man) on top of the capitol was wrapped for cleaning and reguilding. This process happens every few decades to make sure the Pioneer is showing his best side.

House Republican Leader Jeff Helfrich currently holds a 239 vote lead in House District 52. If he holds the seat, Republicans will stave off a Democratic supermajority in the Oregon House.

The Democratic Party of Oregon is still closely watching the results of state and national races. Tobias Read has a 10-point lead in the Secretary of State race with more than 60% of ballots counted.

Thanks to Eastern Oregon Mission for putting on another great tournament at @BigRiverGolfCourse! We're proud to be title sponsors as Agape House and Martha's House provide critical resources to families and individuals in the greater Hermiston area.

The committee approved $9 million in grants for high schools, and Ryan is eager to help school districts across the state create vocational career pathways for their students.

Happy Career Technical Education Month! Pac/West President Ryan Tribbett was recently appointed to the Oregon Department of Education's CTE Revitalization Grant Committee to have a hand in approving grants for Oregon high schools.

While Punxsutawney Phil’s accuracy is questionable, Capitol tradition stipulates if he sees his shadow today, it will be 6 weeks until Republicans provide quorum.

We had a great time working with Dr. Kristine Medyanik at this month's professional development workshop on better understanding our team dynamic and how to tackle projects as a team. Good conversations, great takeaways, and a lot to think about.

[Pac/West Lobby Group @PWLobbyGroup]

Phil's knowledge of the legislature and expertise with the state budget helps guide our approach and advice, and leads to success for our clients. We're glad to have his leadership and contributions at Pac/West. And a happy birthday, too!
