Oregon Business Association today named U.S. Senator Ron Wyden as its 2015 OBA Statesman of the Year honoree.
Salem, Ore. – “As a big picture problem solver unlike any other in America, Senator Wyden is more than deserving of this honor,” said OBA President Ryan Deckert.
Senator Wyden will be honored at OBA’s 15th Annual Statesman Dinner on Monday, Oct. 12 at the Oregon Convention Center.
For more than 30 years, Sen. Wyden Ron Wyden has served Oregon in the U.S. Congress — 15 years as a member of the House of Representatives and since 1996 in the U.S. Senate.
