Dundee lawmaker says he plans to prioritize transportation during Oregon’s legislative session

State Sen. Bruce Starr (R-Dundee) returns to the Oregon Legislature this session after about a decade away. 
He lost his reelection bid in a close race in 2014. He replaces former Republican Sen. Brian Boquist who was unable to return to the legislature after the 2023 GOP walkout. 

Funding a transportation package is a key issue for lawmakers this year. Starr worked on a bipartisan transportation effort in 2009 and serves as a co-vice chair of the joint committee on transportation during the current session. He joins us to share more on his priorities.
