Re: Democrat sex offender Ramiro Navarro Jr.

Navarro is the latest Oregon Democrat revealed to have a criminal 
record. Last week, Navarro himself defended knowingly hiring a 
convicted pedophile as a field director for his campaign. In 
October, the former Democratic mayor of Beaverton pleaded guilty in 
federal court to possession of child pornography. Kotek has been 
accused of ignoring sexual harassment complaints while serving as 
state House speaker.

Navarro, who has called himself the "second-chance candidate," 
violated parole after his release by showing up at a family birthday 
party, apparently stealing his wife's car afterward. Police found 
Navarro's prison ID card inside the stolen car later, but no charges 
were filed. His wife took out a restraining order on him after his 
first conviction, which he also violated in attending the party.

Navarro has made no attempt to hide his criminal past, even noting 
on his campaign website he has been jailed five or six times since 
his release.
