Gail has served on several legislative committees, include the House committees on Revenue, Agriculture and Natural Resources and Conduct and the joint Emergency Board, as well as the budget-writing Ways and Means committee.

Gail earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree in geology at Oregon State University.

Doug has represented Senate District 28 since 2005, the release said. The district includes Klamath, Crook, Lake and portions of Deschutes and Jackson counties.
