Benjamin 'Ben' Unger[2] (born March 4, 1976 in Cornelius, Oregon) is an American politician and a Democratic member of the Oregon House of Representatives representing District 29 from 2013 to 2015. He stands at over 6'7".

Early life

Unger was born on March 4, 1976, in Cornelius, Oregon, and was raised on a farm south of the city.[3] After graduating from Hillsboro High School in 1994,[4][5] Unger earned his BA in English from the University of Oregon.[3]

Political career

In 2012, Unger won the Democratic Primary with 65.2% of the vote against Katie Riley.[6] He won the November 6 General election with 11,312 votes (53.5%) against Republican nominee Katie Eyre.[7] Unger was endorsed by a local newspaper, the Forest Grove News Times, and many other groups such as the Oregon Council of Police Associations, the Oregon State Council of Retired Citizens, and the Oregon League of Conservation Voters.[8] During his run against Eyre, he was portrayed as a carpetbagger for moving back to the district from Portland to run for the seat.[9] The Forest Grove News Times ran an article pointing out inaccuracies in those attacks, and referenced them as one of the reasons they chose to endorse Unger.[10][11] Unger, who grew up on his families' Century Farm, emphasized supporting local schools in his campaign.[12][13] In 2014, he announced he would not run for re-election, and in June 2014 became the executive director of Our Oregon.[14] Unger was succeeded by former Metro councilor Susan McLain, also a Democrat.[15]
