Buehler joins Brown in calling
for delay in Kavanaugh vote
Republican
wants FBI
investigation
By AUBREY WIEBER
Capital Bureau
State Rep. Knute Bue-
hler joined Gov. Kate Brown
Thursday in calling for a halt
to the U.S. Supreme Court
nominating process for Brett
Kavanaugh following a con-
tentious, daylong hearing in
Washington, D.C.
The Republican guber-
natorial hopeful has previ-
ously declined to weigh in
on the sexual assault alle-
gations against Kavanaugh.
That changed after the hear-
ing before the U.S. Senate
Judiciary Committee involv-
ing questioning of Kavana-
ugh and his principal accuser,
Christine Blasey Ford.
“Professor Ford and Judge
Kavanaugh have both pre-
sented compelling testi-
mony,” Buehler stated in
an email. “I believe there
should be a FBI investigation
before the Senate votes on the
nomination.”
Buehler, through a spokes-
woman, declined to elabo-
rate or answer direct ques-
tions. Through the week, as
the scandal has captivated
the
nation,
some Oregon
elected offi-
cials criticized
Buehler for
staying quiet.
Across
Rep. Knute the
state,
Buehler
the
hearing
was closely
watched as Kavanaugh’s
influence on the court could
have large implications for
Oregonians.
“My opponent has said
that reproductive health care
is settled law,” Gov. Kate
Brown said in an interview
following the hearing. “I
think it is really clear that if
this appointee is confirmed,
that is no longer the case. I
think it is critically important
when there are issues facing
Oregonians.”
The Kavanaugh hearing,
and women’s issues, have
crept to the forefront of the
governor’s race, now shown
to be neck-and-neck. Brown
said with such intense interest
in the nomination process, the
governor — whomever it may
be following the November
election — should “speak up.”
On Tuesday, state House
Majority Leader Jennifer
Williamson, D-Portland, and
Rep. Julie Fahey, D-Eugene,
sounded off on Buehler’s vot-
ing record involving wom-
Naselle School locked
down during police chase
Two fleeing men
were captured
en’s issues, and his earlier
silence on the Kavanaugh
allegations.
“It’s sometimes hard to
believe that in 2018, our
access to reproductive health
care is still under attack,”
Fahey said.
The legislators went on
to poke at related statements
Buehler made in the past,
referencing an appearance
he made on the Lars Larson
radio show in May.
“I have a record in the Leg-
islature of voting against Gov.
Brown’s efforts to expand
access to abortion,” Buehler
said on the show. “Listen, I
think we have other priorities
where spending should go
other than to expand access
to abortion. We need to make
abortion as rare as possible
and that’s a goal I think lots of
us can share.”
During Thursday’s hear-
ing, Buehler’s campaign
pushed out on social media
ads featuring women, includ-
ing one about women’s repro-
ductive health.
On Monday, Brown joined
dozens of legislators —
mostly women — in a walk-
out at the Capitol. Then, and
again on Thursday, the Dem-
ocrat said she believes Ford
and the other women who
have accused Kavanaugh of
sexually assaulting them.

NASELLE, Wash. —
Naselle School went on lock-
down for 90 minutes on
Thursday morning while law
enforcement officers hunted for
two fleeing suspects.
Around 9:51 a.m., the driver
of a 2000 Chevy pickup blew
past a Washington state trooper
who was parked on the side of
State Route 401. The trooper
clocked the driver going 77 mph
in a 55 mph zone, according to
a Washington State Patrol press
release.
The trooper attempted to
stop the northbound truck, but
the driver allegedly ignored his
lights and sirens, accelerating
to 105 mph as he entered the 45

reportedly continued north and
ran a stop sign. When he tried
to turn left onto State Route 4,
he lost control of the pickup

The driver and his passenger

By that point, other troopers
