About David Russ

David Russ

Accountable. Practical. Committed.

A patriot servant leader who believes that effective leadership starts with listening to those affected by government choices. After a decade as Mayor of Dundee, he prioritizes accountability, genuine engagement, and prioritizing people over politics. That is the #RussIsForUS way.

From farming and manufacturing, to real estate and retail, to Mayor of Dundee, his work as an entrepreneur and business leader has always centered on developing future leaders and helping communities grow stronger.

Oregon and America are our home, and they are worth fighting for. WE need to do everything we can to save them for our children and future generations.

That commitment has guided every step since.

A husband, father, grandfather, businessman and former Mayor of Dundee bringing experience from business and government to address challenges faced by families and small businesses while serving communities with compassion.
