Mary Nolan is a Democratic member of the Oregon House of Representatives, representing District 36 (formerly District 11) since 2001. Nolan was in the first class of women admitted into Dartmouth College[3], from which she graduated magna cum laude in mathematics.[3] On July 5, 2011, Nolan announced that she would be a candidate in the May 2012 election for Portland City Council, challenging incumbent commissioner Amanda Fritz.[4]

Political career

On November 11, 2002, after Nolan won re-election for her second term, she was named the assistant Democratic leadership.[5] Before the 2009 legislative session, Dave Hunt, the then-House Majority Leader, was nominated Speaker of the Oregon House of Representatives.[6] The Democratic Caucus then nominated Nolan as the new majority leader.[6] She was the House Majority Leader in the Oregon House of Representatives from November 2008 until November 2010. In November 2010, the House Democratic Caucus did not re-elect Nolan to any leadership position.

According to The Oregonian, Nolan votes with Democrats 96.77% of the time, while having a 1.08% absence record.[7] After Nolan voted "no" on House Bill 2001, a piece of legislation that would increase transportation taxes by $300 million a year in 2009, The Oregonian reported that the move could mean that she may be planning to run for another public office like Mayor of Portland or City Council because of what it meant for environmentalists who had opposed the transportation bill.[8]

Endorsements

During the 2008 elections, the Willamette Week endorsed Nolan for her re-election campaign in House District 36.[9] The Willamette Week endorsed Nolan in past elections as well.[9]

Accusations

On February 10, 2010, Jon Chandler, a lobbyist who worked on the "No on Measures 66 and 67" campaign, accused Nolan of threatening them after she left a message on his voicemail.[10] Chandler claimed that in the message, Nolan alluded to her getting him fired from his job.[10] In the message Nolan said, "I somehow managed to miss your retirement announcement. When did you decide you were going to drop out of the lobbying business? Let me know if there’s going to be a farewell party. I certainly wouldn’t want to miss it."[10] Nolan said the message was not a threat, and that she thought Chandler was making a mistake by working for the "No" campaign.[10]

Committee assignments

  • Conference Committee On HB 2227, Chair

Issues

On March 14, 2003, Nolan introduced a bill that would make it a crime to possess a gun while on a public bus.[11]

Health care

During the 2010 legislative session, Nolan sponsored House Bill 3631 that prohibits an insurer from classifying injuries sustained from sexual violence as preexisting condition for coverage, underwriting or rating purposes.[12] The bill passed 59–0 in the house with 1 legislative member (Democrat Brian Clem) being excused from voting.[12] The bill later passed the Senate with a 28–0 record with 2 members (Democrats Alan Bates, and Bill Morrisette) not voting.[12]

Veteran affairs

On February 23, 2010, Nolan voted in favor of Senate Concurrent Resolution 22 that recognizes the service of United States Merchant Marine veterans during World War II.[13] The resolution passed the Senate with a 30–0 vote, and passed the house with a 57–0 vote.[13]

Campaign Contributions

Mary Nolan has taken and continues to take large contributions from PACs that dwarf her individual donations[14] while her opponent Amanda Fritz is taking only small, $50 donations. [15]

“ John Kitzhaber is a tested leader. No one else comes close to matching the depth of his experience as a doctor, legislator and Governor. He brings exactly the perspective and problem-solving skills that Oregon needs during this challenging time. Just as important as his experience are John’s values and integrity. He will always do what’s in the best interest of Oregon, and will show us how we can make Oregon so much stronger when we look beyond selfish concerns. ”
