Mary Doyle for Congress

Putting People and Communities First

Drawing on two decades in public education, administration, local and state union work, my priorities come directly from the needs of the people I've served:

• Health Care for All: Transitioning toward Health Care for All through community-based models, like Mosaic Community Health, ensuring no one goes bankrupt for being sick.

• Education and Workforce Development: Expanding access to grants, apprenticeships, and skilled-trade training to build a strong rural workforce and revitalize local economies.

• Sustainability and Natural Resources: Balancing selective logging, ranching, agriculture, and renewable energy development with long-term environmental stewardship.

• Economic Fairness: Implementing progressive tax reform, raising corporate minimum tax rates, ending carried interest, and closing loopholes that favor the wealthy over working families.

• Ethics and Democracy Reform: Ending Citizens United, enacting campaign-finance reform and transparency, and rebuilding trust in government institutions.

A Record of Leadership and Resilience

My leadership style was forged in Oregon’s classrooms, where I worked with students facing severe behavioral, academic, and mental-health challenges.

I’ve experienced a vast and wide variety of experiences that are difficult, resulting from severe trauma manifesting in real time in classroom and school buildings, and I showed up again the next day to teach, That’s what public service requires—discipline, compassion, and the courage to keep working through the hard experiences regardless of what is said or done to you.

A Clear Contrast in Values

Rep. Cliff Bentz’s vote to object to the 2020 presidential election results and his opposition to the bipartisan infrastructure bill is evidence of his misplaced priorities.

When you undermine verified elections and vote against investments that rural Oregonians need, that’s not representation—it’s neglect.  I’m running to restore integrity and service to this office.

Our campaign will refuse AIPAC and corporate PAC money and prioritize community engagement through open town halls in every county of the district, unlike Rep. Cliff Bentz. 

About Me

I am an educator, union member, and community leader with more than 20 years in Oregon public schools. My career includes roles as Athletic Director, Student Services Coordinator, and Teacher on Special Assignment for Title I schools serving rural and low-income students. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies from Portland State University, a Master’s in Teacher Education from Eastern Oregon University, and Professional Administrative Licensure from the University of Oregon.

Running as an independent voice on the Democratic ticket, my campaign will focus on restoring trust, accountability, and local problem-solving to a district that has long felt unheard in Washington, D.C.
