Veteran Senator and Educator Reflects on Distinguished Public Service Career\n<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SALEM \u2013 Senator Arnie Roblan (D-Coos Bay), a veteran educator and legislator, announced\ntoday that he will not seek reelection to his Senate seat representing many of Oregon\u2019s coastal\ncommunities.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cServing the people of Senate District 5 has been an honor and a privilege I will never forget,\u201d\nsaid Sen. Roblan. \u201cAfter 50 years of public service\u2014including 30 plus years as an educator and\nmany more as a legislator\u2014I have made the decision to retire so that I can spend more time\nwith my family.\u201d\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First elected to the Oregon House of Representatives in 2004 and elected to the Senate in 2012,\nSenator Roblan has served in the Legislature for 15 years. In 2011, his colleagues in the House\nelected him to serve as Co-Speaker of the House. Senator Roblan has served as a member of\nthe Oregon Coastal Caucus and founded the annual Oregon Coast Economic Summit, which\nconvenes business and community leaders across the state to focus on strategies to revitalize\ncoastal communities.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I entered politics, it was because I thought we needed to better fund our state’s\neducation system,\u201d said Sen. Roblan. \u201cI decided at that time that I needed to follow my own\nadvice that I gave to thousands of students at Marshfield High School over the years and do\nsomething about it.\u201d\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2018 and 2019, Senator Roblan served as co-chair of the Joint Student Success Committee,\nwhich toured the state\u2019s public schools to learn about education initiatives across the state.\nAfter the tour Senator Roblan led the successful effort to pass the Student Success Act, which\nprovided Oregon\u2019s K-12 education system with sustainable funding and transformational new\npolicies.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPassing the Student Success Act is the single biggest accomplishment of my legislative career,\nand I’m very proud of the work that my colleagues and I were able to deliver for the people of\nOregon,\u201d said Sen. Roblan.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt has been the honor of a lifetime to serve the hard-working and independent-minded people\nof the Oregon Coast,\u201d continued Sen. Roblan. \u201cI thank you for your trust, encouragement and\ncontinued dialogue as we have endeavored to make progress for our district and state.\u201d\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
