Rep. McKeown Receives First North Star Award
During this week’s meeting of the North Bend City Council, LOC Legislative Director Jim McCauley presented Representative Caddy McKeown with the LOC’s “North Star” award. At the urging of the LOC Board of Directors, staff has added features to the LOC’s legislative effort, including a voting matrix on priority bills. The LOC’s more transparent legislative focus now recognizes legislators who represented the best of what the LOC and its members represent.
For legislators, understanding their communities is essential for representing their constituents in Salem, and this includes recognition of the daily struggles faced by cities across Oregon. For the presentation of the "North Star” award, LOC staff considered a simple question, “What legislator best represents the interests of their local communities?” Rep. McKeown is no stranger to the cities and local communities across House District 9. It was an honor to present Rep. McKeown the award in a community of her home district.
The LOC will present the North Star award to three other legislators before the end of this year.
