Zoey Oregon GOP state Sen. with stormy political career resigns Andrew Selsky Associated Press SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A Republican state senator who once led Oregon’s GOP party, and who railed against pandemic safety measures, Democratic senators and even members of his own party, has abruptly resigned as a lawmaker. And so ends, at least for now, the stormy political career of Sen. Dallas Heard, a lawmaker from rural southwest Oregon who said Thursday that his resig- nation is effective on Jan. 1, in the middle of his four-year term. Heard has publicly called fellow lawmakers “fools” and was once escorted from the Oregon state Senate floor for refusing to wear a mask. He said that he would have worn a mask if asked, but that he objected to being ordered to wear one. Republicans’ disappointing results in the November election may have factored into Heard’s decision, though he said that he is leaving because he wants to dedicate his time to his children. During a demonstration by supporters of former President Donald Trump outside the Oregon State Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Heard pointed at the building and shouted through a megaphone: “Don’t be violent, take action, trust in God and take down these fools in 2022.” ACT ...

Published in the Illinois Valley News from Dec.15, 2022 to Jan. 11, 2033 Page A-9 Lawsuits over charges of illegal logging fueled the state’s move to change how the forest is managed. Sallinger said there’s still a lot of work to be done to meet a statutory deadline of July 2023 to finish transforming the Elliott into a research forest that likely won’t be official until January 2024. Right now, Oregon State University is developing a forest management But in November, Democratic can- didate and former House Speaker Tina Kotek beat Republican candidate Chris- tine Drazan by 3.5 percentage points. Democrats also retained control of both the Oregon House and Senate. In his note on Thursday, Heard ex- pressed disappointment at the low turnout of conservative voters. “We have been losing this state and nation because collectively we are doing almost nothing to fight the good fight,” Heard wrote. “We must do better than this if we hope to stand a chance.” In March, Heard quit as chair of the Oregon Republican Party and said that “communist psychological warfare tactics” were being used within his own party. Last year, Heard showed up at a high school in his district intending to give a speech about fundamental individual rights. He was approached by a school resource officer and told to leave, News- Review, a local newspaper, reported. Without sharing specific examples, Heard said on Thursday that “the coun- try as a whole has seen an ever-growing movement of evil rising that is determined to take our children’s hearts and minds away from their parents.” County commissioners in Heard’s district in southwest Oregon will select a plan that will need approvals, federal agencies still need to finalize a Habitat Conservation Plan for protecting threatened and endangered species in the forest, and the state will need to approve a financial plan. The board of directors for Oregon State University will also have to grant final approval for the research forest. Sallinger said there will still be some logging in the forest in the future, but the goal of the logging operations will be to collect research data. There will also be a 34,000-acre preserve that will be the largest stretch replacement to complete his term, which ends in January 2025. Asked for comment on the resignation, Senate Republican leader Tim Knopp’s spokesperson forwarded a statement in which Knopp thanked Heard for his service. Oregon state Rep. David Brock Smith, a Republican from southwest Oregon, said Friday that he wants to succeed Heard. Heard endorsed Smith in a joint statement. State Sen.

Research in the forest will likely focus on ecologically responsible forestry, managing forests for climate change and improving forest management for threatened and endangered species. “I think the Elliott will be a hell of a lot better from an ecological perspective than anything we’ve seen before,” he said. “The coast range has just been hammered over the years, so preserving what’s left and improving it is really important.”
