Last year, Javadi voted with then-fellow Republicans to recriminalize drug possession in Oregon, leading to nearly 2,600 arrests solely for possession in the year since. Javadi is also anti-abortion, enthusing “The Constitution wins!” after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022 in a Facebook post that misleadingly stated “abortions are legal for any reason up to the moment of birth in Oregon.” (Post-viability abortions are extremely rare, and usually occur because of a life-threatening complication or an inability to access care at an earlier stage.) In 2024, Javadi sponsored an unsuccessful bill to place restrictions on abortions after 15 weeks.

Yeah ... oof
