Lindsay Ray was born and raised in Texas and started her teaching career as a high school math teacher and debate team coach in her rural north Texas hometown. Over the next several years, she taught high school chemistry, physics, and math in the suburbs of Dallas, at an alternative school in Portland, and then in Beaverton. She has a passion for making math and science exciting and accessible to students who struggle in those subjects.
She served as the president of the Beaverton Education Association and led that local through a difficult but successful contract bargaining campaign last year. Lindsay is in her 18th year in education, and she has been active at the local, state, and national levels of our union, including serving as OEA Region 1 Vice President and on the NEA Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) committee. She has been a steadfast advocate for students and educators within her local in Beaverton, at the state level by testifying and visiting legislators in Salem and serving on the Oregon Safe Schools and Communities Coalition, and at the national level through SOGI and as a regular delegate to the NEA Representative Assembly.
Lindsay is committed to lifting up our communities, increasing member involvement, and bringing educators together to fight for the schools our students deserve.
In her free time, Lindsay loves to bake, ride bikes, and read a good book.
