Kitzhaber's girlfriend admits illegal '97 marriage to Ethiopian

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN 6) — Oregon First Lady Cylvia Hayes admitted she had a third marriage to an Ethiopian man to help him get his citizenship, and said Gov. John Kitzhaber had no idea about this event in her life until Wednesday afternoon. At a press conference Thursday, Hayes, 46, apologized to “John, the person I love above all others.” She said she needs to take some “personal time to reflect and look at my relationship with John.” Kitzhaber, 67, and Hayes announced their engagement earlier this summer. A Willamette Week story questions whether the marriage to the Ethiopian man was legitimate or intended to help him achieve citizenship. There are also questions whether her work for the governor violates state ethics laws because it may overlap with her private consulting work. At the press conference, Hayes said she needs to focus on her personal relationships. “Gov. Kitzhaber had nothing to do with this, and Cylvia Hayes made a very serious mistake,” she said. KOIN 6 News will have more information later in the day.

Sad to see there was no party affiliation applied to the Gov and his skanky fiancee.

Its amazing how easily people can be bought and sold.

Its also amazing how one finds such people in positions of power, or close to them.

Answering questions, Hayes said she got $5,000 for marrying the Ethiopian in 1997. She said she has not been in contact with him since they divorced in 2002.

I am sure she reported this $5,000 on her 1997 tax returns. Right?

The most important vote in Oregon is not for any RINO candidate.

It is the illegal alien driver card ballot measure.

Why the hell would she admit intent for something so many years ago?

“I loved that man but, he turned out to be a mangy mutt.

Kicked him to the curb, wished him the best and never looked back”.

Scott Brown, Bill Clinton and Pete Wilson prove that the issue is big and crosses party lines.

She’s 46 now and this was 17 years ago i.e. when she was 29...and that was her 3rd marriage? Were the other two before that ‘marriages of convenience’ too?

Can you actually be a “First Lady” if you aren’t married to the governor? Oh, well....Oregon.
