Commissioners

Commission Overview

The Commission is comprised of nine Commission members.  Eight members are appointed by the Governor upon recommendation, two each by the Democratic and Republican leaders of the Oregon House and Senate. The Governor selects one member directly. All members must be confirmed by the Senate. No more than three of the members may be from the same political party. The law allows members to serve two four-year terms.

The Commission meets approximately every six weeks.  Information on previous and upcoming Commission meetings can be found on the Meetings page.
