Though she joins the 118th Congress as a freshman lawmaker, she is no stranger to politics. In 2018, Representative Hoyle began serving as Oregon’s elected Labor Commissioner, and focused on issues impacting worker and family quality of life. As a new member of Congress, Congresswoman Hoyle is now responsible for representing the full range of issues impacting more than 700,000 constituents in the 4th District, which includes Benton, Coos, Curry, Douglas, Lane, and Lincoln Counties.
