As a third-generation Oregonian and grandson of a logger, Brent Barton understands our communities, our history and our values. As an attorney specializing in solving complex business problems and resolving disputes, Brent understands our economy and how to make it work better. And as our state Representative, Brent has made a real difference for Oregon's hard-working families.

Better Education for a Better Future

- Sponsored legislation to help families pay for college.
"Rural communities and agriculture are an
important part of our economy. Brent always has an open
door and understands our issues."
Robert E. Evatt - Nursery Owner
Controlling Health Care Costs and Protecting Seniors

- Required health insurance companies to justify rate hikes.
Protecting Our Community
- Enhanced enforcement of the sex offenders who victimize children.
- Strengthened consumer protections to hold banks and credit card companies accountable for their unscrupulous business practices.
- Improved access to education, health benefits and job opportunities for our returning troops.

to listen to his constituents."
