Every year we say goodbye to Oregonians that impacted politics in the state of Oregon. Here is a quick review of those that we are aware of that passed on this last year. If there is someone we missed, please let us know in the comments and we will add them. If you have political items for any of the below individuals please share those with us as well.
Perhaps the most high-profile loss was that of former Congresswoman Elizabeth Furse. Above are several buttons from her various campaigns over the years.
Walter G. Schroeder
, State Rep. from Coos and Curry counties. He was first elected in 1984 and served until 1993.
Stu Rasmussen, Mayor of Silverton, he was America's first transgendered Mayor.
Gary Leif, State Rep.
James Gardner, State Sen.
Harvey Akeson, State Rep.
Don Butsch, State Rep.
Gary George, State Rep.
Bob Shoemaker Jr, State Sen., we know that Shoemaker had buttons from his campaigns. Still trying to find one to scan and include.
Bill Markham, State Rep.
Jim White, Mayor of Depot Bay, and was the 2nd African American to be elected Mayor of an Oregon city.
If you have items from any of these candidates please feel free to send them along and we will share them.
