Lucetta Elmer, House Minority Leader and Legislative Wine Caucus Co-Chair, shares that Oregon’s wine industry is vital to our state’s economy and culture, and how OWA plays a key role in ensuring those voices are heard.

OWA bridges the gap between policy and practice by bringing real stories, challenges, and solutions from vineyard owners and winemakers across the state directly to legislators. Through close collaboration with policymakers, OWA ensures Oregon’s wine industry has a strong, unified voice, essential for shaping a sustainable future.
