Youngest ever, first Asian to serve as Oregon City commissioner
Adam Marl, 20, made history this week by becoming the y
oungest and first Asian member ever on the Oregon City Commission. I m looking forward to opening that door and keeping it open for others, he said.
On April 30, Marl took the oath of office for a city commission seat vacated by Rachel Lyles Smith when she stepped up to become mayor. Marl managed the campaign to oust Lyles Smith s mayoral predecessor Dan Holladay. Oregon City commissioners unanimously voted April 29 to appoint Marl to the open commission seat.
For the past three years, Marl has been a paid legislative intern for state Rep. Jack Zika, R-Redmond. Marl will graduate in May from Willamette University with a bachelor s degree after studying politics and communications.
