President/ANA Delegate

Gina Ottinger BSN, RN, CEN (she/her)

I’m Gina Ottinger, proudly endorsed by the Caucus for Powerful Reform (CPR), and I am running for ONA Executive Board President. For 18 years I have worked as a staff nurse at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center—15 in the emergency department and the past 9 as a charge nurse.

My commitment to advocacy began long before I became a nurse when I started my career as a CNA at Providence Milwaukie, later moving to PSVMC as a med-surge nurse. Those early years shaped my understanding of the relentless, unseen labor that keeps our hospitals standing. They also taught me that nurses deserve a voice—and that we must fight to ensure it is heard.

In 2015 I stepped into leadership as a Steward and member of the House wide Staffing Committee. In 2022, I served as a delegate at the ONA House of Delegates, which deepened my passion for policy work and led me to join the ONA Health Policy Cabinet. In 2023, I advocated directly with legislators for Oregon’s Nurse Staffing Law, helping secure safe ratios that nurses had long fought for. For the past three years, I have served as PSVMC ONA Secretary, and as part of the central bargaining team, I helped win strong, unified contracts across all Providence hospitals—proving what we can achieve when we stand together.

As your ONA President, I will lead with transparency, inclusivity, and a deep commitment to elevating every member’s voice.

Vice President/ANA Delegate

Duncan Zevetski RN, BSN, OCN (he/him)

I’m Duncan Zevetski, proudly endorsed by the Caucus for Powerful Reform and I am running for Vice President of the ONA Board of Directors. I am a nightshift nurse in Adult Oncology at OHSU, the Chair of AURN and I have been a labor activist and organizer for 23 years. I believe in worker led democracy, union transparency and in utilizing our privilege as trusted healthcare clinicians to advocate for all Oregonians.

I have joined my fellow workers on the picket line, at rallies and in caucus rooms, and know what we can accomplish together as union healthcare workers. Our contracts aren’t won, our workplaces aren’t improved, our patients aren’t cared for, by appealing to profit driven executives, but by using our collective power to demonstrate that Oregon’s healthcare centers do not work without us. I will work to ensure that all bargaining units are provided the resources they need to win strong contracts. I want to empower all ONA members to directly participate in daily decisions affecting them and make sure they have the tools to effect change. I am committed to transparency and know that our contracts aren’t won in board rooms, but through a strong movement of unified healthcare workers fighting for a better healthcare system for all Oregonians. If elected as your Vice President, I will work to build the fighting union every ONA member deserves.

Secretary

Katie Moslander RN, BSN (she/her)

I’m Katie Moslander, proudly endorsed by the Caucus for Powerful Reform (CPR), and I am running for ONA Executive Board Secretary. My 23 years of bedside nursing care have led me to understand the importance of nurses advocating for our patients, communities, and our profession.

I have executed that advocacy at Providence St. Vincent as a Steward, Executive Committee Treasurer 2022-2025, and current PSVMC Vice President.

My experience as a Labor Cabinet Member—CA 24 Member-at-Large, Delegate, and Lobby Day participant—has allowed me to see how our union works, testifying for safe staffing and workplace violence laws. I have gained an understanding for how ONA fits in our larger union and where rank-and-file members can make a meaningful difference in the future.

My experience on the Providence strike and hardship committee further deepened my commitment to serving our members. We have done hard things collectively as nurses and union members.

I started my career in the Midwest with 6 patients on day shift. Moving to Oregon 18 years ago, the Union difference was palpable. I believe strong, democratic and transparent unions, fighting for the best contract language keeps patients and nurses safe and thriving. Our patients and our care are too important to let standards slide.

I am asking for your vote to ensure members’ voices are the guiding force as we face the challenges ahead.

A vote for Katie Moslander for Secretary is a vote for a strong, member driven ONA.

Treasurer

Katrina Fournier RN, BSN (they/she)

I’m Katrina Fournier, and I am proudly endorsed by the Caucus for Powerful Reform (CPR). I have been a Registered Nurse at Providence Seaside Hospital for over five years. I am currently working in the Emergency Department. I also currently serve as the Vice-Chair of our bargaining team and represent our ED in our Nurse Staffing Committee.

During my time at PSH I have proudly stood on the picket line in 2023 during our limited duration strike and most recently in our 46-day strike in 2025. I have held the line alongside healthcare workers who have shown me firsthand that when we stand together, we can do remarkable things.

I am running for the position of Treasurer on the ONA Board of Directors because I am committed to building a union that is member-led, transparent, and accountable to the members we serve. As a board member I will stand for transparency and decision making that reflects the will and needs of the membership. Finally, I will support actions that lifts and protects the most marginalized, because what is good for our community is what is good for our members.

In solidarity forever, -Katrina, BSN, RN

Directors

There are seven directors on the ONA board

Corinn Joseph RN, BSN, CNOR (she/her)

I am Corinn Joseph, proudly endorsed by the Caucus for Powerful Reform, and a Director position on the ONA Board of Directors. I’ve been a registered nurse since 2009 and an ONA member at Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) since 2017. I am currently on ONA’s statewide Board of Directors as well as my local AURN Board of Directors as Treasurer. I also serve as the chair of my UBNPC, co-chair of my Cluster Council, and on the Professional Governance Coordinating Committee. I am a member of AURNs Grievance Committee, the Workplace Safety and Security Taskforce, and Nursing Practice Council.

As a nurse and a proud union member, I believe our collective strength comes from transparency, democracy, and a shared commitment to the communities we serve.

As healthcare providers, we know that the strongest care comes from collaborative decision-making and open communication. Our union should be no different. I am committed to building a more democratic union, where every member has a meaningful voice in the decisions that shape our working conditions, our contracts, and our future. Member’s voices belong at the center of our movement. Transparency is not optional; it is essential. I will fight for clear communication, open financial reporting, and accountable leadership. Members deserve to know not only what decisions are being made, but why, and how those decisions support members, support staff, and the patients we serve.

Finally, our duty extends beyond our workplaces. We are trusted advocates for the health and dignity of our communities. I will work to ensure our union continues to be a powerful force for equitable healthcare, safe staffing, and social justice, speaking out whenever patient care or workers’ rights are threatened. I ask for your vote so we can continue building a strong union—one that reflects our values and strengthens our collective future. Together, we can build a union that reflects our values and fights for all of us—because our union is strongest when it belongs to us.

Bill Erickson RN, BSN, CCRN (he/him)

I am Bill Erickson, proudly endorsed by the Caucus for Powerful Reform (CPR), and I am running for a Director position on the ONA Board of Directors.
I’ve been a registered nurse at Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) since 2013. I started in the Medical ICU and then moved to the PACU, where I’ve been for the past nine years. I am currently on ONA’s statewide Board of Directors and our ONA Bargaining Unit at OHSU (AURN) as Vice President.
As evidenced by recent bargaining actions and contract wins, when we work together, we are a powerful force. When we unite, we achieve things we never thought possible. From getting a safe staffing law passed to setting a new wage standard in Oregon, we have made a real impact. I will continue to dedicate myself to providing a voice for all nurses and healthcare workers within ONA and beyond. My goals for an additional term as a Director include:

• Improving transparency from the boardroom to our members
• Improving member support for newly organized bargaining units and those engaged in negotiations
• Continuing to advocate for improved union training offered by ONA

I have a strong family background in unionism and advocating for democratic processes. I am committed to ensuring that all ONA members feel heard, supported, and communicated with effectively, regardless of their location or workplace. I would appreciate your vote to continue this important work.

Amanda Newman RN (she/her)

My name is Amanda Newman, and I am proudly endorsed by the Caucus for Powerful Reform (CPR). I’ve been an RN for six years, currently working in the Emergency Department at Good Samaritan Medical Center in Corvallis. During this time I’ve stood at the bedside and on the picket line; at my own hospital and alongside members across Oregon. I’ve seen firsthand when we stand together, and make our voices heard, we win.

I’m running for the ONA Board of Directors because our union is strongest when members lead and set the direction of our union’s future. I bring a unique combination of experience in union democracy and member-led power. I currently serve as an ONA steward, ONA officer, and bargaining team member. Before becoming an RN, I worked as a member organizer supporting the creation of a new union in Eugene/Springfield, and helping win a strong first contract that transformed the lives of over 1,100 families in Lane County. I know how to build power from the ground up, and I know what it takes to win.

ONA’s strength comes from the collective force of members united across Oregon. I am committed to building a union that is transparent, accountable, and fiercely member-led. A union that harnesses our shared power to defend our patients, uplift our communities –especially those most at-risk and marginalized– and raise standards across ALL of Oregon.

When members lead, we win. I’m ready to listen, collaborate, and build a stronger, member-driven ONA.

Lisa Gregory BSN, RN, CCRN (she/her)

I am Lisa Gregory RN, BSN, CCRN (she/her), proudly endorsed by the Caucus for Powerful Reform and I am running for a Director on the Board of Directors. I am a dayshift staff and relief charge nurse of the CICU at Providence St Vincent Medical Center. I have nearly 40 years of nursing experience, 26 of which is at Providence. I’m a member at large on the Executive ONA Board at PSVMC since 2022 and the current Co-Chair of the Nurse Staffing Committee. I believe in worker-led democracy, union transparency, and in utilizing our privilege as trusted healthcare professionals to advocate for all Oregonians.

ONA is an incredible vehicle for both healthcare reform and worker rights throughout the State of Oregon. The Caucus for Powerful Reform is dedicated to lead all of Oregon through democracy, transparency, and union strength, solidarity, and member led initiatives.

Working as a CICU nurse during COVID, I saw firsthand how staff were mistreated by administration. Rather than standby, I chose to turn my passion for the nursing community into advocacy. This has been seen my fierce determination at the bargaining table, loud voice at the picket line, and support at the State Legislature. I value strong advocacy, honesty, and determined valor in supporting the collective voice of all that I represent. I am honored to be of such service to my colleagues and would like the opportunity to serve all of Oregon healthcare professionals on the Board of Directors.

Kyle Cook BSN, RN, CMSRN (he/him)

I’m Kyle Cook, proudly endorsed by the Caucus for Powerful Reform (CPR), and I’m running for ONA Board of Directors. I’ve been a proud ONA member and nurse since 2018 and have served on the PPMC Executive Committee since 2023. My passion for workers rights started in North Carolina reading workers comp cases at the law office where my mom worked as a paralegal. Witnessing how employers take advantage of their workers emboldened my passion and advocacy for strong, member-led unions. Whether on a picket line, across from management at the bargaining table, or supporting our colleagues in organizing, I have worked tirelessly to make sure that the voices of our members are heard, advocated for, and defended. We’re strongest when our members are empowered with the knowledge and agency to enact change, locally and state wide. As our union has grown exponentially, so has the necessity for leadership that enshrines, at every level, a member-led approach. This bold vision is achieved through increased democracy, advocacy, transparency, and diversification of how leadership and members meaningfully engage to achieve our goals. Whether you’re an SLP who joined your home health colleagues in forming a union, an APP who TA’d their first contract, or one of the thousands of nurses of ONA, it would be an honor to receive your vote. With courage, grit, and determination, we’ll continue to make Oregon the best place to work in healthcare – a beacon of worker solidarity for our colleagues, patients, and communities here and nationwide.

Alex Hall BSN, RN, CMSRN (she/her)

I’m Alex Hall, proudly endorsed by the Caucus for Powerful Reform (CPR), and I am running for the Board of Directors. I have worked as a bedside RN in the Float Pool at Providence Portland Medical Center (PPMC) for the last 8 years and I have served on PPMC’s Executive Committee since Spring 2024. I believe our union should be a democratic, member-driven organization that empowers every nurse and caregiver. ONA’s strength comes from the collective power of its members, not from top-down decision-making. I am committed to ensuring that all voices, especially those on the frontlines, are heard and respected in every level of our union’s work. Transparency is essential to trust. As a board member I will stand for fair processes, open dialogue and decisions that reflect the will and needs of the membership. Finally, I will support actions that strengthen our communities and stand in solidarity with our most vulnerable and marginalized populations. Together, we can build a union that is powerful, inclusive, and accountable: a union that truly belongs to its members.

Kartika Vasavada RN, BSN, OCN (she/her)

I’m Kartika Vasavada, proudly endorsed by the Caucus for Powerful Reform (CPR), and I am running for a seat on the ONA Board of Directors. I have been a nurse at OHSU for nearly 8 years. I started in inpatient oncology and then moved to outpatient oncology infusion. I have been a dedicated member of AURN and ONA, and have learned in those years that our power as a union is only as strong as the collective power of our members. I was a delegate at House of Delegates in 2024, and advocating to improve working conditions and ensuring equity across the state is something I am passionate about and would like to continue as a member of ONA’s Board of Directors. I believe that in collaboration with others on the board, and members throughout the state we can achieve our goals through transparency, accountability, and democracy.

Director: Recent Grad

Adam Maag RN, BSN (he/him)

I’m Adam Maag, proudly endorsed by the Caucus for Powerful Reform (CPR) and I am running for the Recent Grad position on the ONA Board of Directors. Since 2021 I have been a nurse at OHSU’s family medicine clinic in Scappoose, OR.

In my 4 years of nursing I have seen the power of democracy in action as nurses across the state have joined in solidarity to advocate for safer workplaces, better patient care, and the respect that we as professional nurses deserve. I have walked the picket lines for nurses and teachers, spoken truth to management regarding the staffing crisis in ambulatory healthcare, and serve on my units bargaining team to fight for a fair contract that protects and lifts its members.

It will be my goal that all represented nurses have a voice at the table, and a union that works for them.

Director: Healthcare Professional, Non-RN

Kellie Holloway Franz PT, DPT (she/her)

My name is Kellie Holloway Franz and I am honored to run for a position on the ONA Board of Directors, proudly endorsed by the Caucus for Powerful Reform (CPR). As a Physical Therapist at Providence Home Health in Portland, it would be my pleasure to represent the growing number of non-nurses as more and more of us recognize how vital unions are in our workplaces, joining our nurse colleagues in solidarity. We are stronger together.

With 10+ years in my current position, the decision to become Membership Chair for my unit came easily. PTs like myself, along with OTs and MSWs, organized with an overwhelming vote to unionize just two years ago. I walked the picket line with PPMC nurses in June 2023, sat at the bargaining table to get on contract in October 2023, and negotiated our most recent contract as well. I also served as a delegate at the ONA House of Delegates last year, which sparked my interest further in local union leadership and structure. I also lobbied at the Capitol to advocate passing SB1168 into law, preventing a pay-per-visit pay structure for home health therapists in Oregon.

Advocating for improved working conditions and fairness in my small but mighty unit has been one of the most rewarding parts of my 15-year career. I’m proud to stand behind member-led actions and advocacy in our union, proud to stand for member-driven leadership, and proud to be a part of transforming healthcare in Oregon.

Chair of the Cabinet on Health Policy/BOD Director

Jacqueline Naganuma RN, BSN (she/her)

Hi, my name is Jackie, I am proudly endorsed by the Caucus for Powerful Reform (CPR) and I’m running for the Health Policy Chair within ONA. I am a strong advocate of universal healthcare and also serve as the Portland Chapter chair for Healthcare for all Oregon. Part of my platform will be to secure universal healthcare for us as health professionals and for our patients by 2028. I believe this is important because it will take health benefits off the table during bargaining table, allowing us to focus on other objectives. Further, it will give medical professionals far more freedom in where they work and how they schedule themselves. For example, per diem professionals won’t have to stress over health benefits.

As part of the CPR platform, I stand firmly on the belief of transparency and health equity for all. I believe that what is good for patients is good for nurses. Please reach out to me at any time to discuss how we can bring issues forward that matter to you through health policy: jackie.naganuma@gmail.com

Let’s work in solidarity to elevate health equity in Oregon.

Cabinet on Health Policy

Kara Hayden MS, SLP (she/her)

My name is Kara Hayden and I am excited to be running for a second term as the non-nurse member on the Cabinet on Health Policy (CHP), proudly endorsed by the Caucus for Powerful Reform (CPR). As a speech-language pathologist I have worked in rural acute care and outpatient settings in Eastern Oregon and ultimately landed at Providence Home Health and Hospice, a very collaborative work environment across disciplines and geography.

From being a member of our organizing committee in 2022 to striking with PPMC/PSH in 2023, to being PHHH Vice Chair since 2024, I have learned so much negotiating two contracts inclusive of 10 non nurse disciplines plus nursing. Working with interdisciplinary colleagues and our GR team, I’ve championed inclusive legislation covering all home health and hospice workers (SB 1168) and ensured the home and community setting was included in SB 537. I participated in and encouraged my colleagues to join me to ensure many disciplines were represented at HOD 2024, Lobby Day 2025, and a smaller lobby day specific to SB 1168 in February 2025. In my current CHP role I have participated in every meeting since my appointment (July 2025) and presented to the ONA PAC on behalf of CHP.

I enjoy learning about other people’s experiences and have seen first hand that when all voices and perspectives are heard, the typical result is stronger than the initial idea. I am passionate about making lasting change for our state’s healthcare through legislation that centers our patients and healthcare workers.

Heather F Murdoch Medema RN, MSEd, BSW (she/her)

Hi, my name is Heather Murdoch Medema and I’m proudly endorsed by the Caucus for Powerful Reform (CPR) and I’m running for a position in the Cabinet on Health Policy.

Growing up in the Rust Belt (Great Lakes area), I have been around Unions my entire life and am proud to be the child and grandchild of members of several different Unions. My childhood memories are that of Union picnics, touring massive auto and other manufacturing plants, and reading the Union newsletter while eating my breakfast before school.

I have been fortunate to hold Union membership since 2007. Through my Unions, I’ve learned how to better communicate with politicians and urge them to consider policies related to health care. I’ve grown in my ability to engage members and mobilize them in a united front. I have learned how to demand a seat at the table from my employer, without fear of retaliation because I know my rights. Most importantly, for my role on this committee, I have been learning more about current policy trends and how they affect health care workers.

America is a crazy place right now. Now more than ever, we need a strong Union to maintain our rights and benefits as Union members. As a member of the Cabinet on Health Policy, I will be part of the change that is needed to build a stronger, better organized labor movement in Oregon.

Ellie Murray RN, MN, CCRN (she/her)

I’m Ellie Murray, proudly endorsed by the Caucus for Powerful Reform (CPR) and I am running for a position on the ONA Cabinet on Health Policy. I am activated by the effectiveness of ONA’s work on safe staffing legislation. ONA has demonstrated political reach and I would like to contribute to developing legislative priorities and driving legislative action that supports the health and thriving of all Oregonians. There are so many challenges facing Oregon now and in the upcoming year, and I would like to be a part of championing policy or legislative action that protects Oregon. I am particularly interested in immigrant rights in health care systems, in the impending financial peril faced by Oregon health care entities due to the cruel Medicaid and ACA funding cuts, and in actively seeking to advance universal health care in Oregon.

I do not possess experience in the legislative or lobbying arena. However, I have been a critical care nurse here in Oregon for almost twenty-five years, and I have witnessed the impact that coordinated policy efforts can have on the care of patients and on the community. I would be humbled and grateful to serve as a member of this Cabinet.

Diana Bijon RN, CEN

Hi, my name is Diana Bijon. I’m proudly endorsed by the Caucus for Powerful Reform (CPR) and I’m running for a position in the Cabinet on Health Policy.
I am passionate about workplace safety and how safe staffing is integral to both staff safety and patient safety. I have been an ED RN for almost 20 years, and have watched the disintegration of safety standards and patient care standards year after year.
Our crumbling healthcare infrastructure is pushing our nursing practice into higher and higher safety risks both for our patients and ourselves. I used my passion for safety as a major source of inspiration on the OHSU bargaining team for the now famous 2023 contract.
I would like to now use my passion, experience, skills and knowledge to help guide and protect health policies at the statewide level.
These words are mine alone, not created, filtered or edited by AI.
In Solidarity,
Diana Bijon

Labor Cabinet

There are 9 positions open on the labor cabinet

Raven Winters RN, BSN, CNOR (she/her)

I’m Raven Winters RN, BSN, CNOR (she/her), proudly endorsed by the Caucus for Powerful Reform (CPR), and I am running for the ONA Labor Cabinet.

The Oregon Nurses Association is an incredible vehicle for both healthcare reform and worker rights throughout the state of Oregon.

The labor movement has so much potential to flex worker-power that is currently untapped and with the CPR-slate is ready to create progressive change in the state of Oregon.

We need a team of folks on the labor cabinet that can realize this potential and work with the other facets of ONA to bring transparency, democracy, and power to the fore–creating a union movement that prioritizes solidarity and member-led initiatives.

The folks on this slate have all signed onto our platform (available at https://nursesfororegon.org/platform) and all of us believe that changing our union to better work for members results in the betterment of working conditions and healthcare across Oregon.

I have experience at the OHSU bargaining unit (AURN) as communication chair (serving on the AURN Board of Directors) and I am also on our grievance committee which has given me requisite experience for serving as a labor cabinet member.

A vote for our slate is a vote for a more democratic, transparent, and healthier Oregon.

Daniel Taylor RN, BSN, CMSRN, CAPA (he/him)

I’m Daniel Taylor, proudly endorsed by the Caucus for Powerful Reform (CPR), and I am running for ONA Labor Cabinet.

I have been a staff nurse at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center for nine years, an elected unit steward for eight years, and currently serve as Treasurer on the PSVMC Executive Committee.

Having seen firsthand—from unit concerns to daily actions on the picket line—the impact Labor Cabinet decisions have on relationships among peers, hopes and heartaches, and collective action, I seek to represent caregivers and their democratic wishes across Oregon. Your voices matter, especially when raised together. I want to serve those voices and channel that energy into transparent, accountable action each of you who may choose to vote for me can see and understand.

As one of your Labor Cabinet members, I will bring experience with complex systems, law, contracts, fiscal responsibility, and healthcare operations — and, most importantly, a commitment to listen and truly hear. When needed I will help focus and support the workforce’s collective power to ensure your voice and vote are respected and that your union works for you.

Hannah Foreman BSN, RN, PCCN (she/her)

I’m Hannah Foreman, proudly endorsed by the Caucus for Powerful Reform (CPR), and I am running for Labor Cabinet. I’m an RN in the CICU at St. Vincent Medical Center and I’ve been a nurse and ONA member for 7 years. I’ve worked at the bedside, walked the picket line, and firmly believe that what our members vote for should be honored. I’m passionate about contract enforcement and political advocacy. I’m running for Labor Cabinet because I believe in the power of our union democracy in action and look forward to continuing to fiercely advocate for healthcare workers and patients across all of Oregon.
