• 2016 Julie Parrish was uncontested in the May primary and won re-election in her district over Democrat Paul Southwick and Libertarian candidate Ryan Haffner. In addition to her own win, Parrish was the campaign consultant for Rep. Dennis Richardson (R-Central Point), who was running in a statewide bid for Oregon's Secretary of State. Richardson beat Sid Leiken in the Republican primary and went on to beat Democrat Brad Avakian for the Secretary of State race. Oregon hadn't had a Republican Secretary of State elected since 1980, nearly 40 years. Parrish was also the chief sponsor of the Oregon Veterans Lottery Bill, ballot Measure 96, to dedicate 1.5% of Oregon lottery dollars to veterans' programs and services. Oregon voters sided with Parrish and approved Measure 96 by nearly 84% of the electorate. The Willamette Week called Parrish's 2016 election night a "Trifecta" for having won her race, consulted a Secretary of State race that ending a decades-long drought for Republican statewide officeholders, and winning a ballot measure by one of the highest voting margins in statewide history.
