Oregon Senate Democrats choose leadership team, nominate Wagner to continue as president

Along with selecting caucus leaders, Oregon Senate Democrats chose state Sen. Rob Wagner, D-Lake Oswego, as its nominee for the senate presidency ahead of the January legislative session. Wagner’s district covers Lake Oswego, Tualatin, West Linn and parts of South Portland and he served as the senate majority leader before becoming senate president in 2023. Democrats are poised to hold a strong majority in the Oregon Senate following the election earlier this month. The full legislative body will vote on the senate presidency once the session commences. “I’m privileged to again represent the Senate Democrats as their choice for Oregon’s next Senate President. The 2027-2029 biennium will bring a range of challenges, and I’m grateful for the caucus’s confidence,” Wagner said in a press release.
