Representing one of the most diverse districts in our state, Senator Jama comes to Salem with high hopes knowing that his lived experience and two decades of advocacy and organizing skills needed to be translated into real policy change, particularly for Black, Indigenous, people of color, immigrants and refugees, low-income Oregonians and rural communities. The Legislative Assistant will have the opportunity to learn about the legislative process, improve research and writing skills, participate in event coordination, strengthen communication, expand the network, and work to address the inequity and challenges in both our district and the state of Oregon.
