Elmira, OR – Following State Representative Boomer Wright’s announcement that he will not seek re-election, Claire Lynn announced today that she is running for State Representative for House District 9, which encompasses Western Lane County and Florence, a portion of Douglas County that includes Reedsport, and Coos Bay/North Bend through Charleston.
“Representative Wright has been a steadfast leader for the Oregon Coast,” said Claire Lynn. “I have deeply appreciated working with him in the State Capitol and have seen him hold the line and live up to his name – Boomer. He is a strong voice for his constituents. I am grateful for his years of dedicated service, and I am honored to have his endorsement.”
“Claire Lynn is the only person I trust to carry on my legacy in the Oregon House of Representatives,” said Representative Wright. “She has my full endorsement to continue the fight to protect Oregon’s coastal communities.”
Claire is a seventh generation Oregonian who grew up on the North Fork of the Siuslaw River helping with her family’s logging business and cow-calf operation. She grew up with a love for the outdoors, spending every fall hunting and fishing with her Dad.

Recently, Claire volunteered with the “No Tax Oregon” grassroots effort working to put Governor Kotek’s $4.3 billion transportation tax on the ballot to give voters a voice.
Claire’s campaign has already received key endorsements, including:
