Every row comes from the Oregon Legislative Information System’s official rosters and committee memberships, observed 2026-09-01. Roster codes recorded: Rep Gorsek; Sen Gorsek. The official page link is the roster's own website field.
Rosters are per session; exact seating and departure dates within a session, and the reasons for any replacement, are in the chamber journals and are not claimed here.
