Randall Fryer is a retired physician, former software professional, and former enlisted member of the Army Medical Corps running for Oregon House District 28. After decades spent working through complex problems and making consequential decisions, Randall is ready to bring a disciplined, evidence-led, and accountable approach to Salem.
Before building his career in medicine, Randall worked in software development and served in the Army Medical Corps. Those experiences taught him to understand complicated systems, identify where they break down, and focus on solutions that work in the real world. Randall later pursued medicine, earning his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree in 1997. He completed an internship in Michigan before entering a Family Practice residency in Colorado Springs. By 2000, he had completed his residency and begun a medical career that would span family medicine, immediate care, and emergency medicine. That journey was not built around politics. It was built around preparation, service, and responsibility.
Randall practiced medicine from 2000 through 2024. Trained in Family Medicine, he also served patients in multiple rural and remote emergency departments, where there was rarely time for political posturing or incomplete answers. Emergency medicine demands careful listening, clear priorities, decisive action, and responsibility for the outcome. It also teaches an important lesson: every decision affects a real person. Randall will bring that same mindset to the Oregon House. He will examine the evidence, ask difficult questions, weigh the consequences, and remain focused on solutions that improve people's lives.
The best public policy does not begin in a conference room in Salem. It begins by listening to the people who live with the consequences. Across District 28, families are concerned about the quality of Oregon's schools, the rising burden of taxes, public safety, economic opportunity, and whether state government is delivering results for the money it spends. Randall is taking those concerns seriously. This campaign is built around direct conversations, careful listening, and a commitment to represent the priorities of District 28 not the demands of political insiders. Every conversation helps shape a clearer agenda for responsible leadership and measurable results.
Randall’s campaign is centered on three priorities where focused leadership and accountable effort can make a meaningful difference.
Randall believes Oregon schools should focus on the fundamentals: reading, writing, mathematics, history, and civics. He will work to strengthen academic and graduation standards, support meaningful parental and local school-board involvement, and direct more education resources toward teachers and classrooms. Professional teachers deserve the authority and support needed to maintain orderly classrooms and help students succeed. Education policy should be judged by whether students are learning, not simply by how much the state spends.
Randall believes Oregonians deserve value, transparency, and restraint in return for the taxes and fees they pay. One of his priorities is to oppose unnecessary taxes and fees, carefully review state spending, and demand clear evidence that public programs are delivering meaningful value and performing as intended. His goal is to reduce the tax burden on families and employers while protecting the essential services communities depend on.
Randall wants Oregon to be a place where employers can invest, expand, hire, and compete. He will work to reduce unnecessary government micromanagement by pursuing more competitive tax rates, simpler tax compliance, faster and more predictable permitting, and fewer unnecessary regulatory barriers. A healthy business climate creates better jobs, supports workers and local employers, and strengthens the economic foundation communities rely on to fund schools, public safety, and essential services.
