Shemia Fagan for Oregon

Shemia Fagan for Oregon OR Secretary of State, She/her, Mom to 2 littles, former civil rights attorney, Karaoke rockstar She struggled early on both at home and at school.

Secretary Shemia Fagan is a working mom and a proud lifelong Oregonian who grew up in and out of poverty in Dufur and The Dalles. But Shemia’s elementary school teacher saw she needed help. He invited her to join the school’s chess team, giving her something to be excited about in the classroom. Shemia went on to become the first girl in Oregon’s to win the statewide chess championship – and the w

orld opened for her. After working through college and law school, Shemia dedicated her life to public service. She knew firsthand the power of a public school teacher to change lives. She started serving on the David Douglas School Board. Later as an Oregon State Representative and Senator, Shemia has worked to lower barriers to success for working Oregonians. She’s helped increase funding for our public schools, pass paid family and medical leave, and ensure equal pay for equal work. Shemia has made it easier for every Oregonian to exercise their fundamental right to vote by eliminating barriers and increasing access to the ballot. Oregon’s proud tradition of voting by mail is under attack from Donald Trump. Shemia is running for Secretary of State because she knows it’s never been more important to protect and expand our fundamental right to vote in Oregon. And with the state reeling from the effects of the COVID crisis, Shemia will use the power of the audits department to ensure that struggling families quickly get the unemployment assistance they deserve. She’ll ensure our state’s tax dollars go to where they’re supposed to: helping Oregonians in our schools, our health care system, our small businesses and our environment. Shemia is a former civil rights attorney and most importantly, mommy to Alton and Imogene. Hear Shemia's compelling story in her own words https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4aKSHMhG_8&t=5s

This Veteran's Day, we honor all those who've served.

This is a photo of Secretary Fagan's grandmother during her service as a Rosie the Riveter in the Portland shipyards during WWII. The photo shows her as a young woman in her welding uniform sitting astride ship 939 which, after she welded it perfectly, was named after her -- The Imogene Fagan. A name now shared by her great-granddaughter, Secretary Fagan's daughter, Imogene.
