Political career
Nosse announced his candidacy for the District 42 seat in the Oregon House of Representatives in 2013 after the incumbent, Jules Bailey, chose to run for a seat on the Multnomah County Commission.{{cite news|last=Gaston|first=Christian|title=Legislative vacancies trigger intense primary season for Portland Democrats|url=http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/10/legislative_vacancies_trigger.html|newspaper=The Oregonian|date=October 17, 2013|accessdate=22 September 2014|archive-date=18 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150518095739/http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/10/legislative_vacancies_trigger.html|url-status=live}} In the May 2014 primary election, Nosse defeated five other candidates for the Democratic nomination, winning 48.9 percent of the vote.{{cite news|last=Driessen|first=Katherine|title=Oregon House District 42: Rob Nosse tops five other candidates in Democratic primary (election results)|url=http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/05/oregon_house_district_42_rob_n.html|newspaper=The Oregonian|date=May 20, 2014|accessdate=June 30, 2017|archive-date=March 4, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304064144/http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/05/oregon_house_district_42_rob_n.html|url-status=live}}{{cite web|title=May 2014 Primary Election Results|date=23 April 2014|url=https://multco.us/elections/may-2014-primary-election-results|publisher=Multnomah County Elections Division|accessdate=18 September 2014|archive-date=4 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304051710/https://multco.us/elections/may-2014-primary-election-results|url-status=live}} Nosse did not face a Republican opponent in the November 2014 election.
After the May 2014 election, Jules Bailey resigned from the Oregon House of Representatives to assume his new position as a County Commissioner. The Multnomah County Commission appointed Nosse to the seat for the remainder of Bailey's term, allowing Nosse to take office immediately while running for election to a full term. Nosse was elected to a term in his own right in November 2014.{{cite web|title=Oregon – Summary Vote Results|url=http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/files/elections/2014/by_state/OR_State_House_0520.html?SITE=AP&SECTION=POLITICS|agency=The Associated Press|date=May 21, 2014|accessdate=February 3, 2015|archive-date=January 19, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150119091139/http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/files/elections/2014/by_state/OR_State_House_0520.html?SITE=AP&SECTION=POLITICS|url-status=live}}
