Speaker Julie Fahey

Speaker of the Oregon House. State Rep. for HD 14 (West Eugene, Veneta). Policy wonk.
Serving in the #orleg to get things done and make Oregonian’s lives better

[Speaker Julie Fahey @RepFahey]

In the 2026 session, #ORleg passed bills that address the cost of living, push back against fed overreach, strengthen consumer data protections, & protect immigrant rights. Many are going into effect now—a strong step forward for Oregon. https://t.co/hbVWVY7Fod

[Speaker Julie Fahey @RepFahey]

Outrageous that the Trump admin is trying to gut the only fed agency to investigate chemical disasters, particularly in the wake of the Longview disaster. Workers deserve to be safe — that can't happen when tragedies like these are not fully investigated. https://t.co/RQ9qNkKUJZ

[Speaker Julie Fahey @RepFahey]

2/2 Reaching that won't happen overnight, but this program is showing real results. Oregon Democrats will continue working to increase housing supply, expand access to affordable financing, and help more Oregonians become homeowners. #ORleg #ORpol

[Speaker Julie Fahey @RepFahey]

1/2 Great news! Oregon's Flex Lending program has helped nearly 1,000 Oregonians move from renting to homeownership. Owning a home helps build personal wealth & long-term financial stability—that's why #ORleg has set a goal of 60% home ownership by 2030. https://t.co/Cb2p34zePx

[Speaker Julie Fahey @RepFahey]

2/2 Now we've learned what it will cost Oregon households specifically: more than $1,000 a year, according to the Pacific Research Institute. While the Trump administration drives up costs, Oregon Democrats are focused on making housing, healthcare, and utilities more affordable.

[Speaker Julie Fahey @RepFahey]

1/2 State economists recently gave their quarterly report to #ORleg about the status of the economy. One key takeaway? Trump's pointless Iran war is causing gas & energy prices to skyrocket, which is dragging down economic growth, & driving up inflation. https://t.co/e42VsV4ZIF

[Speaker Julie Fahey @RepFahey]

3/3: Thousands of Oregon Health Plan members rely on Planned Parenthood for this basic reproductive health care. Thanks to Oregon Democrats' work last session, they can continue to do so. #ORleg #ORpol

[Speaker Julie Fahey @RepFahey]

1/3: Securing funding for Planned Parenthood clinics in Oregon is one of the many ways the Oregon legislature fought back against the Trump administration in the last session. https://t.co/M2XOt4yZ7S #ORleg #ORpol

[Speaker Julie Fahey @RepFahey]

2/3: Trump’s federal budget bill blocked Planned Parenthood from being paid for providing any health care to Medicaid patients for one year – including cancer screenings, birth control, and STI testing/treatment. #ORleg #ORpol

[Speaker Julie Fahey @RepFahey]

2/2: I’m incredibly grateful for the work the Oregon Nurses Association does to elevate these crucial perspectives. Looking forward to continuing to build the partnerships that strengthen healthcare access and care for everyone across Oregon.

[Speaker Julie Fahey @RepFahey]

1/2: Earlier this month, Rep. Lisa Fragala and I joined the Oregon Nurses Association for a panel on the vital connection between frontline healthcare workers and legislators. It was a powerful discussion on how nurses’ voices help shape stronger, community-focused policies.

[Speaker Julie Fahey @RepFahey]

3/3: I’m proud of the work #ORleg has done to make ROCs easier to form. I was the Chief Sponsor of a 2021 bill giving residents a better chance to buy their park. I also sponsored a bill to help non-profits & resident co-ops get low-interest loans to prevent corporate takeovers.

[Speaker Julie Fahey @RepFahey]

1/3: For the second time in the last 6 years, Lakewood Vista, a 55+ mobile home park in the Bethel neighborhood, has been put up for sale. The park residents are banding together to try to buy the park and bring it under their control. https://t.co/U8ECrojRde #ORleg #ORpol

[Speaker Julie Fahey @RepFahey]

2/3: Resident-owned communities (ROCs) are a straightforward way to ensure mobile home park residents are treated fairly & their communities are maintained. I hope the residents of Lakewood are successful in their efforts to protect their park and their neighbors. #ORleg #ORpol

[Speaker Julie Fahey @RepFahey]

4/4: Despite these headwinds, Oregon Democrats will continue to work hard to ensure all Oregonians can achieve prosperity. #ORleg #ORpol

[Speaker Julie Fahey @RepFahey]

1/4: Last week, state economists gave their regular quarterly presentation on the health of Oregon's economy and what that means for the revenue our state is projected to bring in during the 2025-27 biennium. https://t.co/C33IrQXhNZ #ORleg #ORpol

[Speaker Julie Fahey @RepFahey]

3/4: Volatile tariff policies have meant Oregon businesses face deep uncertainty in investment and hiring. And while families continue to struggle with the cost of living, more wealth is being concentrated in the hands of the few. #ORleg #ORpol

[Speaker Julie Fahey @RepFahey]

Earlier this month I joined @OregonHospitals for a thoughtful conversation about about the current state of our health care system and the impact that Pres. Trump's "Big Ugly Bill" funding cuts will have on our hospitals. Thanks to all—I appreciated our open dialogue!

[Speaker Julie Fahey @RepFahey]

2/2 Deployed Logix is a successful homegrown business in my district. They are a great partner to the state, from working with the Oregon National Guard, to providing disaster relief products to rural hospitals during COVID-19, to helping establish a warming center in Springfield

[Speaker Julie Fahey @RepFahey]

1/2 Recently I toured a Deployed Logix facility in West Eugene that manufactures field hospitals & emergency shelters. We had a great conversation about workforce challenges, Oregon’s emergency readiness & resilience, & partnerships that help communities act when it matters most.
