On June 26, 2025, the North Coast Recall 2025 committee launched a recall petition against State Representative Cyrus Javadi, District 32 (Tillamook - Clatskanie). The petition was approved for circulation giving them 90 days to collect 5,417 signatures to force a recall election. The petition cites three key legislative votes as evidence of Javadi’s disconnect from his constituents, and the basis for the recall accusing him of losing touch with the district’s conservative values.

Javadi's vote for SB 1098, which prohibits discrimination in the selection or retention of school library materials, aims to protect explicit content from being censored based on race, gender, or other characteristics. Javadi views this as a way to ensure access to a broad range of educational materials. Petitioners argue that SB 1098 “makes it impossible to remove pornography from schools, and it undermines parental rights and exposes children to inappropriate content. So inappropriate that it was stopped from being read on the house floor.”

“He voted to honor black drag queens who disgustingly pranced and twerked on the House floor prior to voting on HR 3. This was a national embarrassment. He was one of two House Republicans who stayed on the floor to applaud the show. He needs to either resign or clarify his position to his constituents before he makes these kinds of decisions on our behalf.” Javadi defends his vote by highlighting inclusivity and First Amendment rights. His position on this resolution is not sitting well with many conservative Republican voters in District 32.

“Javadi also voted yes for the Christmas Tree Bill (HB 5006), which is a pork-filled Bill that allows certain legislators to fund many pages of questionable projects around the state like art museums, festivals, and a mega restaurant in Portland. Many of the projects benefit Portland at our expense. No matter how Javadi tries to spin and justify his votes, the effects of them show he’s clearly out of touch with our conservative community's moral order and values. HB5006 is fiscally irresponsible and we deserve transparency when it comes to spending our money. But according to him, “It’s worth it”.”

The recall campaign against Cyrus Javadi highlights a fast-growing dissatisfaction rooted in his votes on SB 1098, HR 3, and HB 5006. His decisions have exposed a divide between his moderate stance and the conservative expectations of many constituents, driving a determined effort to hold him accountable. The campaign’s outcome will depend on how effectively this frustration translates into action and how Javadi responds to the mounting criticism. Petitioners are demanding stricter adherence to conservative principles. His decision to stay and vote during Republican walkouts in Salem, rather than join the protest, has further fueled criticism from Republicans across the state.

The “North Coast Recall 2025” committee must gather the 5,417 valid signatures by late September to trigger a recall election. The success of this effort depends on mobilizing enough voters who share the sentiment that Javadi’s actions reflect a broader appeal.

A Facebook page, Recall Javadi Dist 32 (Northcoast), is dedicated to the effort where supporters can learn how to assist, and find a link to the North Coast Recall 2025 web page. The web page will include information on how to find and sign the petition, or how to assist.
