Republican Oregon House member who supported abortion access, gender-affirming care bill ousted from office

Republican primary voters ousted incumbent state Rep. Charlie Conrad of Dexter on Tuesday night in a striking repudiation of the first-term Republican, who drew intense criticism from conservatives after he voted in favor of a bill that guaranteed access to abortion and gender-affirming care.

Partial results as of 9 a.m. Wednesday showed business owner and former McKenzie School Board Member Darin Harbick with a whopping 82% of the vote to Conrad’s 18%.

Conrad joined Democrats in supporting House Bill 2002 in 2023 after he said he gained a new perspective on gender-affirming care by speaking with health care providers and transgender youth. He was the only Republican who voted in support of the bill.

Shortly after his vote, anti-abortion group Oregon Right to Life, the Oregon Firearms Federation and other conservative organizations announced they were banding together to convince voters in the rural eastern Lane County district to kick Conrad out of office.

God Almighty will reward those who protect the Little Ones. He will condemn those who destroy the unborn with fiery vengeance. There will be no escape.

"he said he gained a new perspective on gender-affirming care"

Was there a hefty campaign donation or lucrative deal that went with that new perspective?

This was one of the victories for Oregonians who’ve had to put up with the illegal democrat regime in Portland for the last 45 years. A lot of the dems in Portland are liberal transplants from blue states including the current governor Tina Kotex.from California. Crooked John Kitzhaber was just as bad.
