Timeline
Karen Minnis (born July 1954) is an Oregon Republican politician in United States.
She married her high school sweetheart, John Minnis, in 1972, with whom she has three children: two married sons and a daughter.
They also have three grandsons and one granddaughter.
While a housewife, Minnis held jobs as a dental assistant, a waitress, and delivering newspapers, putting John through college.
John first told Minnis he wanted to run for office when she was pregnant with their third child.
She then worked as his legislative aide for a decade, an experience she credited with providing a valuable education in politics.
She was a member of the Oregon House of Representatives from 1998 to 2009, and served as Speaker of the House from 2003 to 2007
Born and raised in Portland, Minnis is a graduate of James Monroe High School in Portland and attended Clark Community College in Vancouver, Washington.
Karen ran for John's seat in the House in 1998, when he was forced out of office by newly enacted (and short-lived) term limits.
He went on to serve in the Oregon State Senate.
Minnis was first elected to the House in 1998 and served as House majority leader from 2001 to 2003.
She served as Speaker during the 2003 and 2005 legislative sessions and the 2006 Special Session.
Her 2004 and 2006 bids for reelection drew a strong challenge from Democrat Rob Brading.
In 2004, Brading spent only $33,000 to Minnis' $200,000, but came within seven percentage points of winning the race; in 2006, total spending by both candidates approached $1 million, in one of the most expensive House races in Oregon history.
In the 2006 election, Democrats took control of the House.
After the election, Minnis stated she would not seek any leadership positions, but would instead focus on representing her district.
Minnis served her fifth term in the House, during the 2007–2008 sessions.
She represented District 49, which included the cities of Fairview, Troutdale, and Wood Village, and a portion of Gresham, in east Multnomah County.
On the last day of the 2007 legislative session, Minnis announced that she would not seek re-election.
She was succeeded in District 49 by Democrat Nick Kahl, who won a closely contested election in November 2008; Democrat Jeff Merkley succeeded her as House Speaker.
