Today I announced that I’m running for Congress!
Oregon families deserve better than the bickering and partisan gridlock we are getting from Washington, DC. We deserve real solutions to combat inflation, bringing back safer communities, stronger schools for our kids, and providing better opportunities for our working families.

Willamette Valley Roots
Denyc grew up in the Willamette Valley and had the same jobs her friends did – picking fruit and working in a food processing plant. Denyc and her husband, Jeff, moved back to Oregon in 1995 and currently live in Denyc’s Marion County childhood home where they raised their three children. In 1987, Denyc graduated from Sprague High School in Salem and later graduated from Seattle Pacific University with a dual degree in Political Science and Sociology. While she and her husband Jeff attended the same high school, ironically they didn’t meet until graduate school where they obtained their Masters Degrees in Public Policy.
Military Family
Denyc’s husband, Jeff, is an Air Force veteran, who spent time serving in the Middle East. Her father obtained a bronze star for his service in Vietnam. Both Denyc and her brother were born on Air Force bases. These experiences heavily influenced their family for a life of sacrifice and service.
Blue Collar Upbringing
Denyc’s parents divorced when she was 5, and for most of her life, she was raised by a single mother. Her younger brother was diagnosed with Leukemia before he was two years old and underwent experimental treatments that saved his life but caused other mental and physical challenges. She has lived many of the challenges faced by working families today.
Community Leader
Denyc has a history of serving this community whether it’s through owning small businesses or working in Community Relations at Salem Health. Denyc was heavily involved with her children’s schools and activities, coaching at the Boys and Girls Club, serving with Greater Salem Young Life, and contributing as a citizen to the Marion County Budget Committee. She is passionate about bringing people together to improve our communities.
Proven Problem-Solver
Denyc served in the Oregon State House of Representatives and in the Oregon State Senate. She knows first hand the importance and the challenges of bringing diverse viewpoints together to deliver results for her constituents.
