Nominees for Presidential Run-Off:
Jennie Olson
I am honored to seek re-election as President of AFSCME Local 328, with my slate: 328 For The Members. This re-vote comes when many members want reassurance, stability, and leadership that is focused, united, and moving forward.
Local 328 (the largest AFSCME local in Oregon) is diverse and complex. Leading our local is an important job requiring experience, collaboration, and clear understanding of how decisions impact members long-term. Over the past decade, I have served as a steward, Secretary, Chief Negotiator, and President. I also serve as a Special Sector Board Member for Oregon AFSCME, advocating for our priorities statewide. These roles impart a deep understanding of how our union works-at the worksite, the bargaining table, and the legislature-and how to turn member priorities into accomplishments.
Under my leadership, we have:
Reached our highest membership rate in nearly a decade
Blocked healthcare cost increases through strategic work on the Employee Benefits Council
Co-implemented the OHSU Safe Staffing Committee under HB 2697
Launched the Building Bridges apprenticeship program
Championed protecting ONPRC, expanding union voice, and legislation improving workplace safety
Secured funding to grow the Community Health Worker program
Built lasting partnerships with sibling locals, strengthening union power at OHSU
Results alone are not enough. Members deserve a union that listens, shows up, and works for them every day. I am committed to improving communication, expanding member involvement, and representation.
We share the same goal: a strong, effective union that delivers. I offer steady leadership, proven experience, and a commitment to winning-together.
Sean Bovett
My name is Sean Bovett and I am proud to be running for President of AFSCME Local 328. Nearly 3 years ago my wife received a life altering diagnosis. With the help and support of the doctors, nurses, and employees of the Knight Cancer Institute, she is alive and well today. The help and support my family received from my union siblings in the Knight Cancer during this time was unlike anything I have ever seen before. My Goal as president would be to shape the union into a community that can support and protect all of our members in their time of need just as you all have supported my family during its time of need. Our union should be a source of strength and solidarity; an open platform where members are free and to share thoughts and ideas. Union leadership should be open to the voices of our members and listening to their words and needs. Union leadership should be shaping the future of our union by listening to its members. Our union is not its leadership and board; our union is each and every member who comes into work and gives there all to help save lives. Everyone should feel welcome, heard, and protected by our union. With Brianna O'Laughlin as treasurer and Sierra Sullivan-Paul as Secretary, I believe we can create better financial transparency and help shape our union into something that supports us all, and we can all be proud of.

Nominees for IU Convention Delegates
Arrison Warner
My name is Arrison J. Warner, I am a Clinical Support Assistant for the Center for Women’s Health, I joined OHSU and 328 four years ago and in my time I have been a Lead Steward, an Executive Board Member, a delegate to both state and international conventions, and the Community Liaison of our union. I believe I have honored with the nomination to run as a delegate for our International Union’s Convention due to my work in organizing within our union, my work building connections with the other labor union here at OHSU and my belief that our union and the labor movement at large is the most powerful force of change in our lives.
If elected to serve as a delegate I look forward to learning at the convention and advocating for resolutions that will strengthen our ability to organize at all levels, build more connections to the larger labor and social justice movements, and push for bold reforms to further increase the democratic nature of our union. Like the IU convention in 2024, I know this experience will be enriching, especially to take all that I learn at the convention back into our work here at OHSU, especially handling new challenges like AI, uncertain plans for OHSU’s structure, and most of how to fight and win and even better contract during our next cycle. With Solidarity, I ask for your vote.
Carolyn Roderique
Hi my name is Carolyn (she/they) and I work as a cashier in outpatient pharmacy at Physician’s Pavillion. Before working at OHSU I was one of the early organizers of the UO Student Workers Union and was on staff with United Autoworkers. In the 3 years I was there we formed the first wall to wall student worker union at a public university. Last year we went on strike for a historic first contract and were some of the youngest people in Oregon history to do so.
I believe I was nominated to bring my fighting spirit into our union, I’ve learned that the only way to win is to fight relentlessly. The time to build toward a strike isn’t while we’re bargaining, but we need to build structure and power in our workplace right now. We need to not just build a fighting union but a union that is bigger than ourselves and our workplace. The Tammy Carpenter campaign showed that we’re able to use our power to make demands that don’t just benefit our coworkers but our patients as well.

Dinah Gilbert
My name is Dinah Gilbert. I began working at OHSU in 1998 and have been a member of AFSCME Local 328 the entire time. I have a broad perspective of how stuff works at OHSU and within our union. Previously, I have been elected as delegate for the State Convention, the Bargaining Team and most recently to the Executive Board. I believe we need a STRONG and HEALTHY union. I am dedicated to working toward this goal and maintaining stability for all our members. I would love the opportunity to represent our local at the International Convention so I can continue to learn more about this world so I can better serve you.
Jennie Olson
I am asking for your vote to represent Local 328's voice at the AFSCME International Convention, and I want to earn the responsibility of the role.
Convention is not a reward or a vacation. It is work. I bring direct, hands-on experience: I served on the AFL-CIO Resolutions Committee in 2025, on the Elections Committee at the 2023 AFSCME Council 75 Convention, and as Chairperson of Local 328's delegation at our last state and International Union conventions, coordinating our voice, votes, and participation.
I don't attend conventions to observe. I attend to actively participate.
If elected, I will actively seek appointments to panels and committees because that is where Local 328's priorities can be woven into AFSCME's direction at the highest level. Five years of local leadership have given me a clear understanding of how our priorities connect to the statewide and national labor landscapes, and how to advocate for them effectively.
With eleven delegate seats available, a top-ranked vote for me helps ensure Local 328's most experienced voice is in the room and ready to work. I commit to reporting back to our membership on convention outcomes, the resolutions we supported, and the commitments made on your behalf.
I will show up. I will do the work. I will represent every member of Local 328 responsibly.
Jesse Miller
I have been an active steward and activist for our union since 2017, including service on the last two bargaining teams and on the executive board. The skills I'm hoping to strengthen by attending the IU Convention revolve around mentoring our next generation of leaders. Too often, our union relies on the work of a few dozen people and I want to empower and help educate the hundreds who are waiting in the wings, looking for a way to help. It would be my honor to represent our union in Chicago this summer.
Mia Osborne
I am honored to be nominated to represent our local at the AFSCME International Convention to forge connections and strength through national solidarity and ensure our members' voices can reach even into our national strategy.
Our union is strongest when it is inclusive and forward-thinking. Recently, I have become a member of the Council 75 DEI Caucus, actively collaborating on a vital caucus resolution that will be presented on the convention floor. This resolution aims to cement equity and support at the core of our international infrastructure for all members of AFSCME in regard to whomever they are, across the entire human spectrum, and I am ready to champion it directly to leadership.
Beyond this crucial initiative, my commitment to Local 328 is rooted in continuous professional growth and development within our union leadership. I consistently seek out opportunities to assist in developing and providing training, mentorship opportunities to sharpen my advocacy skills, and work for all our membership. This ongoing development equips me with the strategic insight needed to navigate our complex labor issues as a board, build solidarity across our local, and effectively fight for the workplace protections we all deserve.
At the convention, I will combine my dedication to equity with the leadership experience I have cultivated right here at home. I would be honored to receive your vote to represent Local 328 with integrity, passion, and a vision for a stronger, more inclusive union.
Nate LeViner
My name is Nate LeViner and I have been a Unit Steward since our Steward Program started in 2016. Recently, I became our Membership Chair as of 2026. I was born and raised in North Portland. Went to Roosevelt High school, and have been working at OHSU since 2005, when I started working in Patient Transportation. Ed Marcell, who was the manager at the time really helped shape the kind of person I have become. I have since moved on to different roles, but the influence he had will forever go with me.
As a steward of our union, I would like to continue strengthening it through gaining new members and engaging old ones. If we work together, I truly believe we can make a difference in this state. A difference that future generations will benefit from, even after we're gone.
Roxana Logsdon
Hello, I am ROXANA LOGSDON, and I am running to be a delegate at this year’s International Union Convention.
I am currently a member of our Local 328 Executive Board and have been for over 16 years! I have learned so much about our Union, and always put, you, our people first! I put myself in your shoes with any decision to be made, asking myself what is best for our people. It is not always easy.
I have been with OHSU since 2008. Starting in Food and Nutrition as a cashier, server and sometimes barista. I have also worked as a HUC in Family Medicine and in the PICU! I currently work from home as a PAS-R for Pediatric Gastroenterology.
I have experienced right along with you, the loss of trust, the short staffing, and broken promises, just to name a few. Please let me represent you at AFSCME’s International Union Convention, to learn what other locals are doing about these issues and more!
Thank you for your consideration,
Roxana Logsdon
Sean Bovett
My name is Sean Bovett and I am not only running for President of AFSCME Local 328, but also as a delegate to the upcoming IU convention. The international convention is where our union can lend its voice and concerns on a national stage, and our local needs to be leading from the front. With new and ever present threats facing our workers and our labor we can no longer afford to continually be behind the times and reactive to everything that happens to our workforce.
I ask for your vote to push forward and speak up to what matters to us and our union on a national stage, and make sure we approach the issues head on instead of waiting to react. Staffing, AI Integration, and Pay Inequality are all issues that are too important to take a reactive stance on and should be at the forefront of discussions on a national stage. If elected, I will push for forward looking discussions and solutions to assist and protect our members in this ever changing healthcare landscape.
I am a Unified Communications analyst for OHSU, I am the elected healthcare representative for the NOLC board, and I have been working in the crossroads of medicine and technology since my first post 15 years ago in a medivac and rescue unit in Salem. I was born at OHSU and am Oregonian through and through and want your vote to bring these qualifications and unique viewpoints to the AFSCME IU Convention.
Sierra Sullivan Paull
Hello! My name is Sierra, and I would be honored to be a delegate at the 2026 IU Convention. I am a steward within our union and have hit the ground running into representational steward work. I am a member of our internal communications committee and DEI committee. I am currently working on getting involved in our political action committee and I am currently beginning work within our safe staffing committee. I would love to represent our local at the national level and show my passion for civil and healthcare workers. During these unprecedented times we see living through it would be a privilege to help decide who will lead our union and the priorities we set to ensure we all have a better, safer workplace. I'm a co-founding member of a progressive caucus within AFSCME, and I fiercely fight for our members' protections. I hope to build connections with member leaders in other locals for the benefit of all of us. If chosen, any training or classes that I am able to attend, I will happily bring the skills learned back to 328 and use them to progress our local further!
