Politician
Field served as a Republican legislator in the Oregon House of Representatives from 1956–1960 and 1962-1966. Betty Roberts, a Democrat legislator who served with Field, described Field as "a good debater and she’s very blunt, forthright, and takes on any opposition, man or woman, very seriously." However, Field left differences behind when she was not in the political arena.
Field unsuccessfully ran for state treasurer in 1966.
