Williams Will Not Seek Re-Election

Oregon State 52nd District Representative Anna Williams says she will not seek re-election.  In a Facebook post, Williams said being a state legislator has been the “greatest honor of my professional life.”  But she also says the state treats it as a part time job, but “it’s a full time role for anyone who wants to get it right.”  Williams said with the $33,000 base salary state lawmakers receive, it’s not sustainable for her to continue.  Williams has represented the 52nd District in the Oregon House for past four years.  Four candidates have filed to run in the 52nd District that now includes The Dalles.  The Dalles City Councilor Darcy Long is the only Democrat to have filed so far, and Jeff Helfrich, who twice lost to Williams in the general election, is one of the three Republican hopefuls.
