Multifamily Owners: Here’s How to Influence Oregon Lawmakers featuring Marcel Gesmundo
In this episode of HFO Multifamily Market Watch, Greg Frick sits down with Marcel Gesmundo—founding attorney at Andor Law and Government Affairs Chair for Multifamily Northwest—to unpack Oregon’s 2025 legislative session and its impact on apartment owners, developers, and housing providers. From housing production reform to blocking harmful legislation, Marcel offers critical insight into how policy is evolving in Salem—and why owner involvement, data-driven advocacy, and cross-sector collaboration are more important than ever.
If you’re a landlord, property operator, or investor working in Oregon’s multifamily market, this is a must-watch conversation for understanding how to shape, not just survive, policy shifts.
💡 Key Takeaways:
- Smart legislation supports—not stifles—housing production.
- Good advocacy relies on hard data—not isolated stories.
- Blocking harmful bills protects long-term investment.
- Effective lobbying requires diverse voices.
- The best time for owners to influence lawmakers is between sessions.
- Simplifying legal and operational processes benefits everyone.
