Following the resignation of State Rep. Anna Williams, Clackamas County, Hood River County, and Multnomah County commissioners will hold a joint session on Wednesday, Sept. 7, to interview candidates and select a replacement for the open House District 52 position.

Oregon law requires that a legislative vacancy be filled by county commissioners representing the district in which the vacancy exists. House District 52 spreads across parts of the three counties.

Finalists were selected by the local Democratic Party (as outlined by state law), since Williams belongs to that party. County commissioners have no involvement in the selection of finalists.

The three finalists are:

  • Kristen Dillon
  • Lori Kuechler
  • Nicholas Walden Poublon

The person selected will fill the remainder of Williams’ term, which runs through the rest of the current calendar year (December 2022).

The meeting will be held from 3-5 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 7, over Zoom. The public is welcome to virtually attend the proceedings over Zoom, and provide comments during the designated time.

Connectivity information can be found at www.clackamas.us/meetings/bcc/other/2022-09-07.

The meeting will be broadcast live on Zoom, and posted later to the county’s YouTube channel and the Clackamas County Government Channel.
