District 10 of the Oregon State Senate comprises parts of Marion and Polk counties, including much of south and west Salem as well as Independence and Monmouth. The district is composed of Oregon House districts 19 and 20.
In 2018, Republican Jackie Winters of Salem was elected to this seat, but she died in office of lung cancer on May 29, 2019. Republican Denyc Boles, who had been serving as the Representative for District 19 in the Oregon House of Representatives, was appointed on June 25, 2019 as Winters's replacement.[1] However, during the 2020 election, Democrat Deb Patterson of Salem ousted her in to fulfill the remainder of Jackie Winters's term. She is still the current senator representing this district.
