Lesly Muñoz is an American Democratic politician currently serving in the Oregon House of Representatives. She represents the 22nd district, which is entirely within Marion County and consists of Hayesville, Gervais, and Woodburn as well as parts of Keizer and Salem.
She defeated incumbent Republican Tracy Cramer by just 161 votes in the 2024 election, with the race not being decided until November 26.[1] While Cramer was up in the initial count on Election Day, vote counts 10 days after put Muñoz ahead by just one vote, with her lead growing from there.[2] Muñoz's victory allowed Democrats to reclaim the three-fifths supermajority in both the Oregon House and Senate which they had lost in 2022.[3]
