"As the first woman in Oregon history to serve in leadership positions in both the Oregon House and Senate, Bev Clarno was a true Oregon trailblazer. Readers of From Pigs to Politics will quickly understand why Bev was such an outstanding public servant - she is hard working, engaging, open, and possesses a great sense of humor. I am delighted that she has shared her remarkable journey."

"It was always very rewarding and challenging while working for my mother - whom for a brief moment in our state history was 'the most powerful woman in Oregon'"
Randy Hilderbrand
Chief of Staff to Speaker
Wasco, Oregon

"Bev Clarno's political skills took root in childhood on a farm in Eastern Oregon where she was expected to haul as much pig slop as her brother. No whining. No complaining. She grew up to become Oregon's Speaker of the House where she was nobody's snowflake. Two decades later, she's still nobody's snowflake. Her rendition of the record is a treasure."
Senator Betsy Johnson
