Thomsen Announces He Won’t Seek Re-election; Bonham To Run For Senate

Oregon State Senator Chuck Thomsen announced he will not seek re-election in 2022.  Thomsen said in a statement that the 12 years he has served in the Senate is “a long time” and that it is the right time to move on, especially if the redrawn legislative district boundaries hold up that will see Senate District 26 change to stretch from The Dalles to Canby, removing Happy Valley, unincorporated Clackamas, Damascus, and parts of Portland.  In the wake of Thomsen’s decision, current House District 59 Representative Daniel Bonham of The Dalles announced he will run for the District 26 seat.  Thomsen said the two have agreed to compare notes and campaign together.
