Majority Leader Bowman Releases Statement on Stable September Revenue Forecast

SALEM, Ore. – Today, House Majority Leader Ben Bowman (D-Tigard, Metzger, & S.
Beaverton) issued the following statement on the September Revenue Forecast released this
morning by the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis:

“Our state’s economy remains stable and poised for continued growth. This is great news. But
the cost of housing, healthcare, and utilities is still too high for working families,” said Rep.
Bowman. “In the 2025 legislative session, we will work to build on the momentum of our
economic growth to make sure working families are sharing in the benefits of our stable
economy.”

Rep. Bowman also passed along his appreciation for all of the hard work from the Office of
Economic Analysis, including economists Mark McMullen and Josh Lehner, who are stepping
down from their roles after years of public service.
