On Wednesday, State Representative Court Boice, of Gold Beach, announced that he has filed for re-election to continue serving the people of House District 1.

A campaign release said Boice was first appointed to the seat in early 2023 and was overwhelmingly elected by his constituents in 2024.

In his announcement, Boice said that Oregon is at a crossroads, pointing to rising costs, growing homelessness, and policies that he believes are hurtful to rural and working Oregonians. Boice said, “Our state is in serious decline, with fewer and fewer residents able to afford living here”. Boice said, “Crime is on the rise, taxes and spending are spiraling, unemployment remains high, businesses are leaving the state in frightening numbers and families struggle to protect and properly educate their children”.

The release said as part of his ongoing priorities, Representative Boice has focused on tackling Oregon’s addiction and mental health crises, supporting our rural economies, defending the Kicker, helping Veterans, preventing out of control wildfires and ensuring accountability in how taxpayer dollars are spent. Boice said, “I remain optimistic about our state moving forward, however, Oregon’s leadership has profoundly failed us – after more than forty years of one-party dominance”.

Representative Boice said he is proud of what he has accomplished but much more work remains.

House District 1 includes communities from the California Border up the Oregon coast, to the eastside of Coquille – through Coquille and Myrtle Point to Interstate 5 at Winston/Dillard.
