Ore. Senate Candidate Addresses Harassment Reports

Source: ABC News

The Republican nominee in Oregon's U.S. Senate race said Monday that disagreements with former partners that resulted in calls to the police show that she stands up for her beliefs and "will fight for Oregonians with very strong conviction."

After three weeks staying largely out of the public eye, Monica Wehby held a meet-and-greet with supporters in Oregon City and took questions from reporters. Police reports made public days before the May 20 primary showed that an ex-husband and a former boyfriend both called police on Wehby as their relationships were deteriorating, reporting that she was harassing them.

"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 of the police reports. "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."

No record of public service or legislation/negotiation. She's used to being queen (she's a neurosurgeon)'

Born in OR but left in 1984 (that long already) but still look at the paper online.

She sounds wacky...like others said, typical Puke.

Stay alert OR Dems, Libs and Progressives...don't let a nut like this get elected.

regardless of gender. Many stalkers eventually harm the person they are stalking.

But the fact that you took me literally lets me know that I need to work harder to make sure any future posts are crystal clear.

West of the Cascades is reliably blue due to Portland and Salem. If she were running East of the Cascades she'd probably win against any Democrat. They'll vote for Satan over there as long as he has an "R" next to his name. Big farm country - as in farm subsidies that never get cut.

Trying to play harassment as being a "good" quality that demonstrated her tenaciousness isn't really going to cut it with sane people.

I was at a large cruise-in showing my Mustang when she walked up to me and introduced herself. She said she was running against Jeff, to which I replied that I love Merkley. That set the stage for her tirade against us liberal monsters. We talked cordially for about 15 min and at no time did she directly answer my questions, only responding with some pat talking points. I think she should keep treating sick kids.
