While on the City Council, I’ve had the privilege to work on many issues that directly impact the lives of people living in Salem, everything from addressing the homelessness crisis, improving our transportation systems, investing in public safety, and protecting our environment.
As your next state representative, I’ll keep fighting to expand access to affordable housing and transportation options, find solutions that will adequately fund our cities and public schools, and address our mental health crisis.

David Beem, District 17
David will work across party lines. He stands for all people in his district.
David’s priority agenda is to gain more funding for seniors, people with disabilities
and for nursing homes, but that is not all he will work for. He sees the amount of
our houseless population that is needing help and solutions to begin ending
houselessness. He wants to get them shelter, education on life skills, and
transportation to jobs and hospitals.
Our infrastructure is dated and needs attention. Most of our bridges and dams
are 50 to 100 years old, we already have funding. We need to use it and we need
more.
