Chris Telfer is a Republican politician and Certified Public Accountant in Bend, Oregon, United States. Telfer serves on the Bend City Council, and was elected to the Oregon State Senate in the November 2008 elections, to succeed outgoing Senator Ben Westlund. Hers was the only seat that changed parties in the Senate in that election cycle; her campaign spent $300,000 to opponent Maren Lundgren's $12,000. The shift, however, left Democrats with an 18-12 majority, allowing them to pass increases to taxes and fees without Republican support. (A 1996 law requires a 3/5 supermajority in both houses of the Oregon Legislative Assembly for such measures.) Telfer has lived in Bend since 1977.〔(Bend City Councilor Chris Telfer ), from official Bend City web site.〕 She has two daughters.〔 She earned a bachelor's degree at the University of Denver, and did post-graduate work at Franklin University and the University of Oregon.〔 She has taught at Central Oregon Community College and served as vice-chair on the Bend Development Board.〔 In 2010, Telfer filed for the special election for Oregon State Treasurer, to complete the term of Ben Westlund, who died in office,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Candidate Filings, State Treasurer )〕 but lost to Democratic incumbent Ted Wheeler in the November general election. In the Republican primary of the 2012 legislative elections, Telfer was defeated by Tim Knopp, a former state Representative and vice president of the Central Oregon Builders Association. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chris Telfer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
