Expand all | Collapse all

Carolina Malmedal was born in Spain and became a US Citizen in 1983. Malmedal graduated from Gig Harbor HS and attended Washington State University. She and her husband Kris Malmedal reside in Hillsboro, Oregon where together they own Malmedal Plumbing, Inc. and M3 Luxury Restroom Rentals. They are members of the Washington County Chamber of Commerce, where she is a member of both the Public Policy and Transportation committees and most recently joined the Manufacturing Council. Malmedal has lived in Washington County for 20 years, has served as President of The Hillsboro Rotary Club, continues as an active member of The Hillsboro Rotary, The Hillsboro Elks Club, and is a volunteer with St. Vincent de Paul in Forest Grove. The couple have three children and have enjoyed volunteering in the Banks School District and Liberty High School
Schools that Work: Oregon ranks in the middle of the country for education funding, and we're one of the worst for on-time graduation rates. Most recently, the legislature has reduced accountability by not requiring academic testing for kids, even as a benchmark to catch students up after online lockdowns. We need more flexibility with budgets, more accountability and transparency for school districts, more choice for families, and a legislator who votes for the needs of students first.

Crime Free Communities: Oregon is less safe because legislators have systematically voted to reduce criminal sentences, even for violent offenders, while tying the hands of law enforcement from being able to effectively do their jobs. By abdicating its responsibility for addiction services, the state's actions have spurred an increase in drug addiction and crimes related to addiction. We need better drug treatment, mental health services, and more support for the criminal justice system.

Supporting Business: After two years of Covid-19 mandates and billions of dollars in new tax increases, small business owners are tired and frustrated. Big companies are directing their investments out of Washington County and out of state. We deserve lawmakers who understand that healthy businesses are the support structure for our state. Job creators in Oregon should be thanked, not punished.
