Suzanne Weber is an American politician serving as the senator from Oregon's 16th Senate district. Weber won in the general election on November 8, 2022. She assumed office on January 9, 2023. She is a Republican. Oregon senators serve four year terms.
Mayor of Tillamook
Weber moved to Tillamook in 1970. She taught elementary education for 30 years. She was elected to the Tillmook City Council and appointed mayor of Tillamook.[1]
Oregon House of Representatives
In November 2020, Weber won the seat for Oregon's 32nd House district after incumbent Democrat Tiffiny Mitchell decided not to run for re-election.[2] She defeated Democrat Debbie Boothe-Schmidt in the 2020 election, winning 54.1% to 45.7% with 0.2% of the vote being for write-in candidates.[3]
Oregon Senate
In November 2022, Weber beat Democratic newcomer Melissa Busch to replace former Democratic Senator Betsy Johnson, who resigned to run for governor.[4]
The GOP Walkout
In May 2023, Senator Weber joined other republican senators in protest against House Bill 2002, which aimed to protect reproductive rights and gender affirming care.[5] The walkout paralyzed the state government by denying the legislature a quorum, resulting in gridlock.[6] The walkout lasted long enough to disqualify senators from reelection.[7]
