New state lawmakers Reps. Khanh Pham, Wlnsvey Campos and Ricki Ruiz, are sworn in for their first session as elected legislators.
A trio of new lawmakers — state Reps. Khanh Pham, Wlnsvey Campos and Ricki Ruiz — were sworn in Monday, Jan. 11, and begin the long slog of the 2021 session next week. Pham and Ruiz represent portions of Multnomah County; Campos a portion of Washington County. All are young. Pham is Vietnamese American, while Campos self-identifies as Latina and Ruiz as Latinx.
They are a more diverse representation for a metro area that, itself, is growing more diverse.
And they have plans to make an impact on the state of Oregon.
