Lois Anderson
Executive Director ORTL
I spent many years in Oregon political and policy work before I found my home at Oregon Right to Life. A love of history and politics informed by my faith drew me to this movement. I consider it a great privilege to contend for legal protection for the most vulnerable human beings in our culture.
Lois grew up in the Beaverton area, attending local public schools and graduated from Portland State University Honors Program with a bachelor’s degree in history. She worked on a number of political campaigns before joining ORTL in 1999 as director of political operations. She worked in that position for 17 years prior to assuming her current role as executive director in 2017. Lois and her husband have been married for 29 years and have four children.
