Oregon Capitol open to the public for first time in 16 months

GARY A. WARNER Oregon Capital Bureau The Oregon Capitol in Salem reopened to the public Monday, ending a nearly 16-month lockdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Legislative leaders, who control the Capitol s operations, closed the statehouse to the public on March 18, 2020. The move came 10 days after Gov. Kate Brown had declared a state emergency over the virus that would go on to kill more than 600,000 people in the United States. House Speaker Tina Kotek, D-Portland, and Senate President Peter Courtney, D-Salem, said health officials had recommended access to the capitol be severely limited until infections fell below 50 per 100,000 population in Marion County, which includes Salem.

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.”
