Mannix has lead opposition to Governor Brown
Kevin Mannix has announced a run for Oregon House District 21 in the Oregon state legislature.
"Oregonians-especially crime victims-need a trusted advocate serving them," Mannix declared.
Former State Representative, State Senator, and Governor candidate Kevin Mannix
announced on Thursday that he has filed with the Secretary of State for State
Representative, House District 21 (Keizer and Central Salem) as a Republican.
Mannix has run his own Salem law firm since 1986, served as Chair of the Oregon
Republican Party as well as the Marion County Republican Party and served five terms
in the Oregon House of Representatives. He is well known in Oregon political and legal
circles as the father of Measure 11, the popular ballot measure that instituted mandatory
minimum sentencing for violent crimes.
"I am running to return to the Oregon House because I have witnessed the erosion of
public safety by the legislature and the lack of support for victims of crime in Oregon,"
said Mannix. "Oregonians-especially crime victims-need a trusted advocate serving
them." Mannix added, "Our public education system needs to respect parental
involvement and return to a system that meets the needs of our children and upholds
Our values."
In 2020, Mannix led again with the fight against the lockdown of churches, schools and
small businesses by the Governor's Executive Orders. He took that fight all the way to
the Oregon Supreme Court. Mannix has continued to lead the opposition to Governor
Brown's mandates.
