Providing decades of effective leadership for Salem & Keizer.

Kevin Mannix is a small business attorney and community leader who serves Keizer and North Salem in the Oregon House (District 21). He built the Mannix Law Firm in Salem, where his team has spent decades representing and protecting local businesses, churches, private schools, and nonprofits. Kevin is known for using every tool at his disposal to protect taxpayers, hold criminals accountable, and encourage a more efficient, less intrusive government. 

Kevin spent part of his childhood in Latin America—living in Ecuador, Bolivia, and Panama while his father served in the Foreign Service—where he was immersed in Spanish speaking schools and became fluent in Spanish. He went on to earn both his B.A. and law degree from the University of Virginia and began practicing law in 1974.

Kevin and his wife Susanna were also married in 1974, arrived in Salem that same summer, and they’ve called it home ever since. They raised three children here and are proud grandparents of six. Susanna has served our community for decades as a nurse at Salem Hospital.  

Before opening Mannix Law Firm in 1986, Kevin served Oregonians as a law clerk to the Court of Appeals, and as an assistant attorney general for Oregon. He served as an assistant attorney general for the U.S. territory of Guam and then as an Oregon administrative law judge.  Elected to represent Keizer and North Salem in 2022, Kevin is a proven legislator and prolific author of practical, results-driven policy. Even in years of one-party control in Salem, Kevin has built a reputation for working across the aisle to pass more legislation than any other lawmaker in state history, including his time serving in the Oregon House of Representatives from 1989-2001.    

Never compromising his commitment to common-sense values, Kevin has a long track record of seeking common ground to achieve real progress, navigating special interests and political headwinds to hold our government accountable and make life safer and more affordable for Salem and Keizer families.
