PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The Oregon legislature goes back into special session on Wednesday.
The Senate will consider the $4.3 billion transportation bill that already passed the House.
Representative Cyrus Javadi of Tillamook voted yes on the bill. At the time, he was the only Republican to do so. But shortly after the vote, he made an even bolder move, changing his party affiliation to Democrat.
The fallout has been immediate.
Rep. Javadi represents House District 32, which covers the north coast from Astoria to Neskowin. He also owns a dental practice in Tillamook.
Javadi joined Eye on Northwest Politics to discuss the reasoning behind his party affiliation switch and the aftermath, including a recent recall petition against him.
