State Rep. Daniel Nguyen is seeking reelection to Oregon House District 38 in the Nov. 3, 2026, general election. The Secretary of State’s current general-election filings list Daniel Loc Nguyen as qualified for the Democratic and Republican nominations; the Republican nomination is recorded as a write-in nomination.
His legislative biography describes him as serving his second term representing Lake Oswego and parts of Southwest Portland. He previously served on Lake Oswego’s City Council and founded Bambuza Hospitality Group. He earned a bachelor’s degree in business and public administration from the University of Puget Sound and an MBA from Marylhurst University.
Campaign priorities
On his campaign’s priorities page, Nguyen advocates supporting small businesses, growing jobs and developing sustainable funding for schools and essential services. He supports apprenticeships, skills training and college pathways as workforce investments.
Nguyen says he supports a public health insurance option and nearby access to care. He also calls for protecting natural areas and partnerships that reduce pollution, utility costs and wildfire risk.
On technology, he says he plans to bring back a proposal for a permanent state artificial intelligence commission in 2027, balancing innovation with protections for Oregonians.
These positions come from his campaign website, rather than a submitted Surround Sound Media questionnaire.
Responses are based on public data and answers to a Surround Sound Media questionnaire if they were provided.
