Representative Mark Gamba on Oregon's 2023 Legislative Session - Part Two
This episode is part two of my conversation with State Representative Mark Gamba, breaking down the good, the bad, and the ugly of the 2023 legislative session
Mark Gamba represents house district 41, which encompasses Milwaukie, Oak Grove, and parts of Southeast Portland. I knew I could trust him to give an honest assessment of his first year in Salem, and he really delivered.
You don’t need to listen to episode one before jumping into the second half of our conversation, but I highly recommend listening to both episodes. Find the first episode in our podcast feed or HERE.
