Oregon House Majority Office, October 13, 2009
Oregon House Democrats welcome Val Hoyle to the House of Representatives after she was unanimously chosen by Lane County Commissioners to succeed former Rep. Chris Edwards in Lane County’s District 14 representing West Eugene, Santa Clara and Junction City. Edwards is now a State Senator who was recently chosen to replace former Senator Vicki Walker.
Currently the Director of Lane County United Way 100% Access Program, Hoyle served as a legislative assistant and policy director to State Senator Floyd Prozanski who represents parts of Douglas and Lane counties. Hoyle also has a strong business background in international business and formerly served as chair of the Federal District Export Council of Oregon.
Hoyle said she is committed to continuing the strong representation Edwards provided the district, and that many of their priorities are very similar.
