Nancie Peacocke Fadeley: Oregon State Capitol Foundation Oral History Project

The daughter of a Methodist minister, Nancie Peacocke Fadeley, learned growing up that taking care of others and making any place she lived a better place were important principles to practice. Moving to Oregon in 1953, Fadeley noted that “It was a wonderful time to be in Oregon.” She met the Democratic dynamic duo of Dick and Maurine Neuberger within weeks of her arrival and they inspired her involvement in state politics.
Elected to represent District 42 in 1971, Fadeley’s knowledge of the legislative process as a former legislative assistant earned her important committee assignments, including chairing the House Environment and Land Use Committee. In that role, she helped shepherd SB 100, the land use planning bill, to passage along with other iconic environmental legislation in the 1970s such as the “Bottle Bill” and curbing field burning. Fadeley was instrumental in passing Oregon’s Equal Rights Amendment, and orchestrating the ratification of the ERA when it came under attack, as well as the Displaced Homemaker’s Bill. Her civic engagement after elective office continued her legislative work as a long time member and board member of the 1000 Friends of Oregon and as a charter member of the grassroots organization, the Older Women’s League.

This is pitiful, a disgrace to God and Oregonians, millions of babies have lost their lives in Oregon, and all she can do is talk about a bottle bill.
She gives no recognition or appreciation for the one who founded the government Jason Lee. She knows better, she knows Jason Lee's work and that he was the initiator of the government, our educational system, the church and the first to have a Christian wedding in the west west. Lee's mission was the foundation for Christian culture in Oregon and effects us to this day.
