Bob Horning is the Republican candidate running for Oregon State Senate in the 16th Senate District. His opponent is Betsy Johnson of the Democratic party.
Horning was born and raised north of North Plains, Oregon on a small cattle ranch. There he farmed, grew hay, raised cattle, logged, and generally worked the land. In his childhood he also traveled all over NW Oregon salmon fishing with his dad, enjoying everything Oregon had to offer.
Personal Life
During the 1980s he gradually transformed his family farm to a park, raising fish for trout fishing, doing guided trail rides and building a saw mill where he taught himself to cut lumber. All of this work gave him real-world experience and a thorough understanding of healthy land, forest and wildlife management. He also worked for the United States Postal Service as a letter carrier.
Political Background
In the early 1990's He started getting involved more in state and local issues and have since then spent quite a bit of time working behind the scenes. One of the trends he noticed is the transformation of how special interests work in Salem. It used to be that special interests worked "with" the legislature, pushing for their interests, of course. Now He believes, it has evolved to a point where many legislators are catering to and doing the bidding of special interests instead of working for the interests of the general public and the good of Oregon.

Prof. Willie W. Lu (born February 24, 1955) is a Chinese electrical engineer and inventor who specialises in mobile wireless communications.
Early life
Willie W. Lu was born in Zhejiang, China. He went to school in a small town near Shanghai, and installed his first radio when was only grade one child. He won the Math Olympic competition of 2nd prize when was 3rd grade
University Studies
In 1985, he was admitted by Zhejiang University on a full scholarship. In his third year of undergraduate, he assembled his first color TV, first FM Transmitter Station and first TDM switching system. In his graduation project, he successfully designed the TFM/GMSK Modulation/Demodulation system of digital mobile communications. Willie was admitted to the Graduate School of Zhejiang University for Master Degree, again with exceptional honor and full fellowship. During his Master study and research, he improved the B-ISDN Signaling Protocol and designed the first twelve lines PABX TDM systems in China. On graduation of Master degree, he extended his PABX system to 1024 lines TDM system.
Research
In 1992, sponsored and referred by China government, he started new research on wireless mobile ATM (wmATM) in Malaysia, Japan and then to Germany in promoting wmATM standards. His Ph. D research with wmATM signaling and protocols was appraised by the Aachen University of Technology, Germany. He continued his post-doctorate research in advanced broadband mobile wireless communications in Germany. In 1996 he decided to immigrate to the United States.
Open Wireless Architecture (OWA)
In 1995, he first time in the world, proposed the engineering concept of in Europe Commission research project, and further disclosed the system architecture in IEEE Communications Magazine in 1998. This became the milestone kickoff of global research on 4th generation mobile wireless communications converging multiple wireless standards upon common open platform. In 2000, Willie founded the United States first 3G/4G wireless technology conference, then renamed to World Wireless Congress, in setting up the industry R&D and technology alliance in promoting this global movement. By year 2008, OWA technology had been widely used in wireless and mobile communication systems and networks, and over one billion mobile users will be using this core architecture by year 2013. Based on DGI report, OWA business will be over $500B by year 2020.
From 1996 to 2006, Willie worked for Siemens AG as Principal Architect, Infineon Technologies as Chief Architect, Stanford University as Professor and as Visiting Professor at The Chinese University of Hong Kong.

He spends 40% of his time in China, 40% in USA and 20% in Europe each year.
Prof. Lu is a former member of FCC Technological Advisory Council, and is an independent examiner and member ofthe European Commission Experts Committee. He was one of founding members of U.S. DARPA 4G Expert Panel, together with Andrew Viterbi, etc. Wille has been actively involved in the ITU mission on IMT-2000 and IMT-Advaned on 4G technology, and is one of the pioneers of the U.S. 4G open mobile movement.
Prof. Lu has published two text books, ten conference books, over 150 research papers, about 50 IEEE Special Issues and about 20 U.S. patents as first inventor.
