Meet Kevin Mannix

State Representative – House District 21 (R)

Kevin and his wife, Susanna, have lived in Salem for 52 years, where they raised three children and are proud grandparents of six. Kevin is a small business attorney and community leader who serves Keizer and North Salem in the Oregon House. He built the Mannix Law Firm in Salem, where he and his team have represented and protected local businesses, churches, and nonprofits since 1986.

Elected to represent HD 21 in 2022, Kevin is a prolific author of concrete policy proposals. Even with one‑party control over state government in recent years, Kevin has still managed to work across the aisle to successfully pass more legislation than any other legislator in state history. He is known for using whatever tools he has at his disposal to protect taxpayers, lower the cost of living, hold criminals accountable, and encourage a more efficient, less intrusive government.

Never wavering from his commitment to his common sense values, Kevin has worked tirelessly to hold government accountable to taxpayers and find the common ground needed to make actual progress toward a safer, more affordable life for Salem & Keizer families.

Making progress,
not empty promises.

For three decades, Kevin has written, passed, and defended landmark bipartisan laws that make Oregonians safer and life more affordable, including:

• Saving Salem-Keizer schools $42 million by passing a law exempting schools from big government's costly light fixture mandate, directing that money back to teachers and students—not state coffers.

• Co‑authoring legislation to build more homes, faster. This new law will streamline red-tape approvals, reduce costly building delays, and open 3,500+ acres of unused state‑owned land inside UGBs for affordable and middle‑housing.

• Authoring Measure 11, which created historic mandatory minimum sentences for violent felons. Since then he has continued to expand on this work, including passing multiple laws to protect women who are victims of stalking and criminalizing the distribution of non-consensual AI “deepfake” intimate images.

• Voted for new laws stopping tax breaks for data centers and preventing them from passing energy costs onto Salem and Keizer families, which would drive up our cost of living.

• Securing over $10 million for local priorities in 2025, including Marion Polk Food Share, Keizer Rapids Park, the Willamette Heritage Center, and the Oregon State Fairgrounds.

• Helped stop Salem’s record $500 per person payroll tax and successfully cut Oregon’s high Death Taxes.
