Jules Alexander Kopel Bailey (born November 8, 1979) is a County Commissioner for Multnomah County, Oregon. He took office in June 2014. He previously served in the Oregon House of Representatives from 2009 to 2014, representing inner Southeast and Northeast Portland.
Bailey was born in Portland, Oregon and graduated from Lincoln High School. He earned a bachelor's degree in Environmental Studies and International Affairs at Lewis & Clark College in 2001.
Bailey studied in a dual-degree graduate program at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. In 2007, he earned two master's degrees: a Master of Public Affairs (with concentrations in Economic Policy and Environmental Policy) and a Master of Urban and Regional Planning.
In 2008, Bailey was elected to the Oregon House of Representatives to represent District 42. The seat was vacated by Diane Rosenbaum, who was running for election to the Oregon Senate. Bailey earned a plurality victory in the primary election over three other candidates for the Democratic nomination. In the general election, he defeated Pacific Green Party candidate Chris Extine by a wide margin to win election to the seat.
Bailey was reelected to the Oregon House of Representatives in 2010 with 84.7% of the vote and in 2012, when he was unopposed in both the primary and general elections.
In the 2013-2014 legislative session, Bailey served as Chairman of the House Energy and Environment Committee.
