Lucetta Elmer is an Oregon native. She grew up on a small farm in Yamhill County. It was here that her earnest work ethic was formed. She doesn't shy away from hard labor or difficult tasks. She had her first taste of small business experience when she was 15 and began to do payroll for her dad's Timber business. After high school Lucetta went on to earn her Bachelors of Science in Education from Linfield University. It wasn't long before she started her own school, marrying her two passions, business and education. Lucetta would go on to marry Denny Elmer, her high school sweetheart, and they would begin a lifelong journey of small business development and community involvement. In the 30 years of marriage they have had 4 beautiful children all of which have learned numerous lessons and life skills while working along side their parents. This has fueled their passion for entrepreneurship, with each child now actively pursuing their own entrepreneurial dreams. Lucetta's community involvement expands beyond that of business development. She has poured herself into matters of the family, leading a marriage mentor program alongside her husband Denny, organizing retreats, helping couples, and promoting marriage for over 10 years.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Advocating for Small Businesses

When COVID-19 hit, unnecessary shutdowns and mandates destroyed our neighborhood stores and restaurants while helping the big chain stores remain open. Lucetta knows the impact that mandates and bad policies have had on our local District 24 businesses. As a businesswoman and mother, and she has seen the struggles of signing both sides of a paycheck in Oregon. She understands that successful businesses lead to thriving communities, not only through the revenue they generate that keep our communities safe and our infrastructure humming, but through the needed jobs they provide. We have to advocate for our small businesses so that they can go back to fueling Oregon’s economy.

Lucetta will work to roll back unnecessary regulations and taxes on businesses and stand against mandates and policies that would burden our small businesses.

Everywhere we look, our Constitutional Rights and Right to Bear Arms are being challenged by the state government. We have to defend the Constitution and protect our individual liberties and rights in order for “We the People” to have a voice again.

Lucetta will always work to protect our Constitutional Rights, including the Right to Bear Arms.
