EDITOR’S NOTE: We have been investigating all the candidates funding, and were also surprised by the amounts, out-of-state donors and spending by Representative Javadi, especially when Javadi claimed that “99% of his donors were from Oregon” in our Question for the Candidates. I’m not sure who is doing the math, but according Javadi during the AAUW Candidate Forum on October 9th, when Andy Davis called out Javadi for the negative, inaccurate and blatantly untrue postcards and commercials, Javadi claimed that “he doesn’t review everything his team puts together.” WHAT?! You don’t review your own campaign materials?? Watch for the AAUW forum to be posted soon.

I’ve been getting deluged by fliers in the mail attacking Andy Davis, Cyrus Javadi’s opponent for State Representative. Someone is paying for this very expensive smear campaign. As for Andy, he’s a great guy who’s running a clean campaign.
I went to the Secretary of State website and reviewed Javadi’s contributors and I thought it was interesting. Lots of big insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and several from Koch Industries. Lots of out of state corporate donors who are real interested in our local politics for some reason.
Notice on this flier that he’s complaining about Andy’s support for Measure 101.
That measure was in support of Oregon Health Plan, which provides Medicaid insurance to 1.4 million Oregonians. Oregon voters supported Measure 101, because we want people to be able to go to the doctor and receive health care.
Here’s the thing: Javadi is a local dentist. He treats patients on Oregon Health Plan. He’s quite wealthy by Tillamook standards. Why would he want his own patients, local neighbors, to lose their only health insurance and access to dental care? And why would Pfizer and Koch brothers and a bunch of out of state entities be so financially invested in installing him in office?
Don’t take my word for it. Go to https://secure.sos.state.or.us/orestar/GotoSearchByName.do and search for yourself. This isn’t some folksy, small town candidate. Cyrus Javadi is a slick, corporate, self serving political machine and he doesn’t care about us.
