He served from 1993 to 1999.[1][2] During his time in the Oregon House, he was an advocate for the Death with Dignity Act, which was passed in 1994 after a statewide vote.[3] Eighmey was also the first openly gay man elected to the Oregon Legislature when he won election in 1994.[4] He is a former director of Compassion & Choices of Oregon[5] and a current board member with the Death with Dignity National Center.
