Oregon Rep. Javadi faces GOP challenger Sherman after switching parties

The November election is just a few months away, and while the national midterms tend to grab most of the headlines, the election will also have a big impact in the Oregon Legislature with 75 seat up for grabs. One of the more interesting contests is the race for Oregon House District 32 on the north coast, where incumbent Rep. Cyrus Javadadi is running for the first time as a Democrat after winning two previous elections as a Republican and then switching parties last year. Javadi and his Republican opponent, Max Sherman, were both guests on this week's episode of Straight Talk. Javadi lives in Tillamook, where he owns a private dental practice. He's previously serviced as a commissioner for the Port of Tillamook, dental director for the Tillamook County Health Department and in leadership roles with the Oregon Dental Association. Sherman has spent 35 years teaching agriculture, welding and biology at Tillamook and Canby high schools, mentoring students in technical and agricultural careers. He's also served in leadership roles with Oregon FFA and the Tillamook Farm Bureau.
