COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL • OCTOBER 3, 2018 • 3A Candidates for House District 7 sqaure-off in CG debate By Caitlyn May cmay@cgsentinel.com Cedric Hayden, Christy Inskip made their case to voters Monday night Th e League of Women Voters of Lane County have a rule: they don't condone empty-seat de- bates and so on Monday night, president Linda Lynch was faced with a dilemma. She had an empty seat. Th e event, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at the city council cham- bers, billed both Christy Inskip and Cedric Hayden--both run- ning for Hayden's seat in the state's House District 7. How- ever, 10 minutes into the event's scheduled time, Hayden had yet to enter the building. "We fully expected to see Cedric Hayden," Lynch told a room of approximately 20 spec- tators--only to be interrupted by an announcement; Hayden was on his way. Aft er what turned out to be a 25-minute delay, Hayden en- tered the chamber where Inskip had chatted with voters during the wait and the two were read the rules for what would turn out to be a debate that ranged from health care to education and from gun control to abor- tion. "I'm running to make sure ev- eryone's interests are represent- ed in the capital," Inskip said in her opening statement before spending the next hour gath- ering her breath prior to each question and defending her stance--against Measures 103, 105 and 106 and for Measure 102. Inskip, a former tobacco prevention specialist for Lane County Public Health, cited her lack of experience in public of- fi ce but also off ered her support of aff ordable housing and access to early childhood education as well as a fi rm belief in the Second Amendment as well as "common sense" gun control. "I grew up in a rural area and my family depended on the game to make it through the year," she said, citing the pas- sage of House Bill 4145 that closed the "boyfriend loophole" and prevented individuals with prior domestic violence convic- tions from purchasing fi rearms as an example of legislation she outs. "We need to look at those high earners and see what we can do to fi x the system," Inskip said, "It's important to remem- ber that those tier one earners, the court said we can't take that away." Hayden also weighed-in on the issue calling for reform cit- ing "$60,000" retirement pen- sions for surgeons and football coaches who "make millions of dollars." On, perhaps, the most polit- ically hot topics, the candidates diverged; Hayden is pro-life, Inskip belives in a woman's right to choose. Inskip opposed Measure 105 that would repeal Oregon's sanctury state sta- tus while Hayden stopped just CAITLYN MAY/COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL short of saying he supported it Christy Inskip and Cedric Hayden debated ideas Monday night ranging from their stances during Monday night's debate. on upcoming ballot measures to broader topics like gun control and abortion.
