About Pam Marsh
Panelist
I am honored to serve residents of southern Jackson County for a fourth term in the Oregon Legislature. House District 5 spans from the Applegate to the Greensprings and includes Ashland, Talent, Phoenix, a southern portion of Medford, Jacksonville and Ruch. I’m convinced my district has the state’s most passionate and involved constituents.
In the wake of multiple crises brought on by the pandemic, catastrophic wildfire, social inequities, and a housing shortage, I am committed to taking bold and transformative action in support of all Oregonians—for our health, our environment and our economy.
I am honored to currently serve as Chair of the House Committee on Climate, Energy and Environment, shepherding policies to promote energy efficiency, energy affordability and environmental justice; and focusing on meaningful policy for waste prevention and wildfire mitigation. In addition, I am currently serve as a member of the House Committee On Agriculture, Land Use, Natural Resources, and Water, House Committee On Revenue, and Joint Committee On Tax Expenditures.
Broadband: Since 2016, I have been working to close Oregon’s digital divide, authoring HB 2173 (2019) to establish the state Broadband Office, and HB 4092 (2022), which set Oregon’s course for broadband expansion. I continue to pursue policies that resolve infrastructure challenges so all Oregonians can have access to highspeed internet for education, health, government information and services, entertainment and more.
