A Grants Pass native, small business owner, and community leader fighting for Southern Oregon.

Meet
Seth Benham

I'm a Grants Pass City Councilor, community leader, and small business owner who was born and raised right here in Grants Pass, Oregon. I'm a devoted husband and father of two daughters, and my family has been active members of Edgewater Christian Fellowship for more than a decade. That faith, and our commitment to service and community, shapes everything I do.

I'm deeply invested in the future of Southern Oregon and the communities that call it home—because this is my home, and I'm fighting to make sure it thrives for my daughters and for all the families in our district.

For more than a decade, I've built and led Novum Visuals, a successful marketing agency I founded in 2014 that serves businesses across Oregon and the country. Through that work, I've gained firsthand experience with entrepreneurship, job creation, economic growth, and the real challenges facing businesses in today's economy. I understand what it takes to build something from the ground up, and I understand the obstacles that regulations and taxes place in the way of growth.

I'm deeply engaged in my community. I was one of the original founders of Main Street Grants Pass, helping launch and shape the organization's mission to strengthen downtown vitality and support local businesses. I currently serve as Chair of Main Street Grants Pass and Vice Chair of Southern Oregon Aspire, working alongside local leaders to advance workforce development and long-term economic opportunity.

That's who I am. That's what I believe in. And that's what I'll bring to Salem.



Born and Raised in Grants Pass

Who I Am

In January 2025, I traveled to Washington, D.C., to witness President Trump's inauguration. Standing among thousands of Americans who believed in restoring common-sense leadership, fiscal responsibility, and constitutional values, I felt a renewed sense of purpose. It was a reminder that real change doesn't happen by accident—it happens when ordinary people step up and fight for what they believe in.

Shortly after returning home, I was appointed to the Grants Pass City Council, where I've worked to bring accountability, transparency, and results-driven leadership to local government. But I quickly realized that the biggest challenges facing Southern Oregon—overregulation, wasteful spending, attacks on our constitutional rights—couldn't be solved at the local level alone. They required a strong, independent voice in Salem.




That's why I'm running for Oregon State Representative. Southern Oregon deserves a representative who will fight for our values, defend our rights, and bring our tax dollars back home. Not someone who costs our communities millions in lost funding. But someone who shows up, does the work, and delivers real results.
