This concurrent resolution formally recognizes the essential work of the League of Oregon Cities, an organization founded in 1925 by 25 cities to provide support, advocacy, and resources to all incorporated cities in the State of Oregon. Since its inception, the League has played a pivotal role in advancing municipal governance, promoting best practices, and fostering collaboration among cities, thereby enhancing the quality of life for Oregonians. It has tirelessly lobbied for vital issues such as sustainable development, infrastructure improvement, public safety, and the preservation of home rule authority. The League has empowered local governments to address community needs through legislative advocacy and professional development, and has actively worked with congressional leaders to align federal policy with local priorities. Notably, it supported significant federal actions including the CHIPS and Science Act, the American Rescue Plan Act, and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which brought substantial investment to Oregon. Congress now formally acknowledges the League's incomparable contributions to the resilience and vitality of Oregon communities and its future role as a key partner in preserving and strengthening the Federal-local partnership.
