Weber moved to Tillamook in 1970. She taught elementary education for 30 years. She was elected to the Tillmook City Council and appointed mayor of Tillamook. [1]
In November 2020,Weber won the seat for Oregon's 32nd House district after incumbent Democrat Tiffiny Mitchell decided not to run for re-election. [2] She defeated Democrat Debbie Boothe-Schmidt in the 2020 election,winning 54.1% to 45.7% with 0.2% of the vote being for write-in candidates. [3]
In November 2022,Weber beat Democratic newcomer Melissa Busch to replace former Democratic Senator Betsy Johnson,who resigned to run for governor. [4]
In May 2023,Senator Weber joined other republican senators in protest against House Bill 2002,which aimed to protect reproductive rights and gender affirming care. [5] The walkout paralyzed the state government by denying the legislature a quorum,resulting in gridlock. [6]
On May 18 Weber reached the 10 unexcused absence threshold set by measure 113,disqualifying her from running for reelection after her current term ends. [7] Weber and 4 other Senators filed a lawsuit against Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade in response,arguing that the measure's wording allowed them to serve one additional term before being barred from reelection. [8] On October 24 the Oregon Supreme Court agreed to hear the case with arguments beginning December 14. [9] On February 1,2024,the Court unanimously ruled against the Republican Senators,confirming Weber's disqualification after her current term ends in January 2027. [10]
Following the Standoff at Eagle Pass,Weber signed a letter in support of Texas Governor Greg Abbott's decision in the conflict. [11]
