Federal Policy

Championing Central Oregon’s voice

A large snow covered mountain towering over a lake.

The Bend Chamber partners with federal leaders to advance policies that support Central Oregon’s businesses, focusing on infrastructure, workforce, and economic growth.

The Chamber has a history of success in working with our Congressional delegation to drive funding to Central Oregon for transportation in infrastructure projects, among other policy priorities.

Through strong partnerships with Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden, former Congressman Greg Walden (now looking forward to working with Congressman Cliff Bentz) the Chamber has successfully advocated for funding projects in Bend that will improve safety and support our growing region.
