Senator Ron Wyden

Ron Wyden is Oregon’s U.S. Senator. He was elected Oregon Senator 1996 and is 64 years old. Prior to his position in the U.S. Senate Wyden served as a representative in the house from 1981-1996. His parents are Jewish immigrants who fled from Nazi Germany. He was born in Wichita, Kansas and grew up in Palo Alto, California. He is a democrat who supports pro choice, creating more jobs and wildlife protection. A couple of bills he has recently sponsored are the intelligence oversight and surveillance reform act and the high technology job preservation act of 2013. Three of his most important current issues include; the fight against child trafficing, increased timber harvest, and protection of old growth and sensitive areas. Right now Wyden is focusing most on increased timber harvest. This project aims to create more jobs, better protection of woodlands and a more sustainable harvest. I would like to ask Ron Wyden what he is currently doing to stop child trafficing and how much success he is having. I would also like to ask him about the most recent bill he has sponsored.
