Rep. Annessa Hartman Denounces Political Violence Against the Clackamas County Democratic Party

Rep. Annessa HartmanOREGON CITY, Ore.—  On Tuesday, the Clackamas County Democratic Party headquarters was vandalized a second time, leaving the building riddled with bullet holes. This follows a previous incident last month where a window was shattered. In response, Rep. Annessa Hartman (D-Gladstone and Oregon City) released the following statement:

“All of us deserve to feel safe in our communities — no matter our political party. We must denounce violence in all its forms, and I strongly condemn these acts of vandalism. In a democracy, you show up and debate your case. You voice your concerns and opinions. You work to build consensus and community. You don’t cowardly hide behind acts of terror.

“We will not be intimidated. My commitment to House District 40 is to foster a community where we all feel safe. I call on leaders across parties to join us so that these disturbing and undemocratic attacks come to an end.”
