Anna Scharf is a Republican and will represent House District 23, which includes parts of Polk, Benton, Marion and Yamhill Counties. Scharf was appointed by commissioners in those counties to replace fellow Republican Mike Nearman, who was expelled from the Legislature last month for allowing violent demonstrators into the Capitol building.
Scharf said she wants to build bridges in order to serve her district effectively.
“We focus on so many of the negative, small issues that are big issues, but we don’t focus on all the great things that happen in this building, she said. And I’m excited to be a part of the big things that happen here that help so many Oregonians out.”
