Oregon Rep. Cyrus Javadi Switches Parties, Registers as a Democrat
Oregon State Rep. Cyrus Javadi, formerly a Republican, has officially switched his party affiliation to the Democratic Party. This decision comes after months of voting with Democrats on key issues and ahead of a deadline to run as a Democrat in the upcoming election. Javadi cited his commitment to his community as the driving force behind the change, as he found himself increasingly at odds with his party’s stances on coastal priorities. The move is likely to solidify the Democrats’ majority in the House, though a recall campaign against Javadi is underway.
