An attorney has thrown his hat into the political arena with an announcement he plans to run against Rep. Greg Matthews, D-Gresham, for the house seat this spring.
Andre Wang, 37, of Gresham announced his bid for Oregon House District 50 on Sunday, Nov. 15, at Portland Adventist Elementary School in Gresham, where he attended first through eighth grade.
Wang, a Republican, grew up in East Multnomah County and said he hopes to be an effective voice in Salem to reflect the sentiments of Gresham residents. He said residents are concerned about the expansion of state government stemming from the last legislative session.
“In these economic times, all of us – including government – need to be diligent, vigilant and prudent,” Wang said.
