Lesly Muñoz

Lesly Muñoz is an American labor organizer and Democratic politician currently serving in the Oregon House of Representatives, having first been elected in 2024. She represents the 22nd district, which is entirely within Marion County and consists of Hayesville, Gervais, and Woodburn as well as parts of Keizer and Salem.

Career Before entering the legislature, Muñoz was a labor organizer, working as a consultant with the Oregon Education Association. While Cramer was up in the initial count on Election Day, vote counts 10 days after put Muñoz ahead by just one vote, with her lead growing from there. Muñoz's victory allowed Democrats to reclaim the three-fifths supermajority in both the Oregon House and Senate which they had lost in 2022.

Muñoz attended and spoke at the 2025 May Day protests in Oregon, speaking to attendees about the importance of immigrants in American society. Muñoz opposes allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to conduct operations at schools. In 2026, Muñoz rebuked her fellow legislative Democrats in the state for being too "soft" on the issue after they passed a bill requiring schools to notify parents if ICE agents enter the school. Muñoz pointed to the increased restrictions obtained by the teachers' union in her local school district as a stronger example.
