Biography

Naito was elected to the Oregon House of Representatives in 1990, serving three terms. In 1998, she was elected to the county commission and served for ten years.[1][2] In between those offices she served on the Metro Council.[1]

In March 2004, Naito, along with three other Multnomah county commissioners, approved plans to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples in Multnomah County; they issued over 3,000 licenses before the move was blocked by a judge the next month.[3][4][5][6]

Naito formed Hooley & Naito, a strategic planning and legislative advocacy firm, with former Congresswoman Darlene Hooley after leaving office.[7]

Personal life

She is married to Steve Naito, the son of Bill Naito.[8]
