GOPer: Harassment Accusations Show That I Don't 'Easily Back Down'

DANIEL STRAUSS – JUNE 10, 2014, 10:32 AM EDT

Republican Senate candidate Dr. Monica Wehby, who's challenging Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), explained that police reports detailing accusations of showing up at one ex's house multiple times uninvited and striking another with a pad of paper shows her "very strong conviction" and that she's "a very committed, determined person."

"I think that the thing to learn from that is that I am a person who will stand up for what I believe in," Wehby said Monday in response to the police reports according to The Associated Press. "I'm a person who doesn't easily back down. I will fight for Oregonians with very strong conviction. I'm a very committed, determined person."

Right around the time of the Oregon primary two reports surfaced that detailed disagreements between Wehby and her exes. One report said that Wehby's ex-boyfriend accused her of stalking him. Another report detailed how her ex-husband accused her of "ongoing harassment."

Wehby brushed off the police reports and added that she's friends with both men.
