Why I’m Running for State Representative House District 30

I am running for HD30 because I want to help build a better future for our children and for all of my fellow Oregonians. I want to focus on evidence-based policymaking that will help all families be more equitable and healthy. My priorities will involve policies that will help achieve

  • Access to medical and dental coverage

  • Education for our children

  • Family wage jobs

  • Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

  • Protecting our Environment

Dr. Hai Pham

Dr. Pham comes from humble beginnings. He and his family emigrated to Corvallis, Oregon after the Vietnam War as refugees. At the age of 27, he was diagnosed with Leukemia and is now a cancer survivor. These life experiences have helped shape him into the person he is today.

Dr. Pham and his family have been fortunate to experience the American dream. This is why he strives to give back and help others. Becoming a pediatric dentist has allowed him to do so. After completing his residency at Oregon Health & Science University and Doernbecher Children’s Hospital he created Hi5 Dental Dentistry for Kids. Dr. Pham’s goal is to provide access to dental care in a positive environment. In addition to his private practice, Dr. Pham provides charity dental care for children that have complex medical conditions from all around Oregon.

Dr. Pham’s personal and professional experiences have given him the ability to work well with others and will help guide him in making important evidence-based policies for Oregon.

Serving the Community

Many people helped Dr. Pham and his family when they first emigrated to the United States as refugees. That is why he continues to give back to his community. He has donated countless hours providing free dental care to children and adults here in Oregon. He has also traveled to orphanages in Romania to do the same.

Giving back doesn’t just involve dentistry. Dr. Pham is a cancer survivor and he continues to work with the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute to be an advocate for patients and help with fund raising efforts.

Dr. Pham has traveled to Vietnam to help provide free prosthetic hands to land mine victims. It is a privilege to be able to help others.

When Dr. Pham isn’t volunteering his time treating patients pro bono. He serves on many different boards and committees taking on leadership roles that will directly impact thousands of Oregonians lives in a positive manner.
