Alec MacDonald-Factor

Alec specializes in health care, education, and affordable housing policy. At NWPA, he’s secured funding to expand access to indigenous language interpretation, created more accountability for how public dollars are spent on education, and secured funding to support the arts. Alec excels in all steps of the legislative process: submitting bill and amendment requests, writing persuasive materials, vote counting and testifying. He works well with legislative counsel, the Governor’s office, and advocates on both sides of issues to find the common ground necessary to keep client priorities moving forward. His favorite aspect of lobbying is developing a deep understanding of client issues and becoming a reliable source of information in the Capitol. Having spent two sessions on the legislative staff side, he knows what it takes for a lobbyist to be considered a trustworthy ally.

Alec grew up in Eugene and SW Portland and graduated from the University of Oregon with a BA in Political Science in 2019. Alec enjoys skiing, running, the Oregon Country Fair, live concerts, and of course, Oregon football games. He also enjoys thrifting, photography and brings friends and colleagues together on a coed softball team.
