Thank you for visiting my website.  My name is Chuck Riley, and I am the State Representative for House District 29, which consists of Cornelius, Forest Grove, and a big piece of Hillsboro. Two years ago you honored me by reelecting me to represent you.  I truly appreciate that honor and I am now asking you to vote for me in the 2008 general election on November 4.

In the 2007 session I was appointed Chair of the House Government Accountability and Information Technology Committee.  In that committee's oversight capacity, I began the process of finding ways to save taxpayer money by making information technology projects more efficient.  I hope to be able to continue that effort as your representative.  I was also appointed to the Workforce and Economic Development Committee as Vice Chair and to the Consumer Protection Committee.

Lowering Health Care Costs: In 2005 I sponsored drug purchasing pool legislation to reduce prescription drug prices.  In the 2007 session, that legislation was passed.

Good-Paying Jobs: As Vice Chair of the Workforce and Economic Development Committee, I created research and development incentives to attract new businesses and good paying jobs to Washington County.

Safe Communities: During both the 2005 and 2007 sessions, I worked with Republicans and Democrats to protect our kids from sexual predators and fought to protect our community from methamphetamine dealers.

I will continue to listen to the community I represent, focus on shared priorities, and provide innovative solutions to the pressing challenges facing our community and our state.
