Hello editors — I’m Rep. Cyrus Javadi, the subject of this article. Per WP:COI and WP:BLP guidelines, I’m not editing the article directly. Instead, I’d like to respectfully request that editors review and consider the following updated draft, which corrects and expands several sections based on reliable sources and publicly available information.

I’ve included: - Updated biographical details (correct ancestry, faith, family, career, and education) - Accurate legislative record (election history, votes, party switch, and recall) - A neutral, encyclopedic tone - Source citations from OPB, Oregon Capital Chronicle, Ballotpedia, the Oregon Legislature, and local news outlets

🧾 Request Summary

**Correct ancestry and identity**: The current article lists me as "of Iranian descent." That’s only partially accurate — I am Jewish (through my mother), of mostly European ancestry, and about 10% Persian. I request updating this to: "Javadi is of Jewish, European, and Persian descent."
**Education**: I received a BS in Accounting from BYU in 2002 and a DDS from University of the Pacific in 2005.
**Career history**: I moved to Oregon in 2008, purchased SandCreek Dental in 2012, and have served as Dental Director for Tillamook County since 2016. I also served on the Port of Tillamook Bay Commission (2016–2017).
**Legislative work**: Please include my 2022 and 2024 election results, the 2025 party switch, key votes (SB 1098, HR 3, transportation funding), and the ongoing 2025 recall effort.
**Personal life**: I live in Tillamook with my wife and our blended family of nine children. I hold a private pilot’s license with an instrument rating and enjoy painting, piano, and golf.

Cyrus Javadi (born c. 1977) is an American dentist and politician serving as a member of the Oregon House of Representatives for the 32nd district since January 2023. He was elected as a Republican but changed his party registration to Democrat in 2025.

Early life and education

Javadi was born in Provo, Utah, to a mother of Jewish heritage and a father of European descent. His mother converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the 1970s and relocated from Massachusetts to Utah, where she met his father. Javadi earned a Bachelor of Science in accounting from Brigham Young University in 2002, and a Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of the Pacific in 2005.

Dental and professional career

Javadi began practicing dentistry in Astoria, Oregon, after moving to the Oregon Coast in 2008. In 2012, he purchased SandCreek Dental in Tillamook from a retiring local dentist. He continues to operate the clinic as a private general dentistry practice with a focus on rural care.

He has served as the Dental Director for the Tillamook County Health Department since 2016. Javadi also served on the Port of Tillamook Bay Commission in 2016 and 2017 and was a trustee for the Oregon Dental Association.

Legislative career

Election history

Javadi was elected to the Oregon House of Representatives in 2022, representing the 32nd district. He defeated Democratic opponent Logan Laity with 51.2% of the vote. In 2024, he was re-elected with 52.1%, defeating Andy Davis.

Party switch and legislative work

On September 5, 2025, Javadi switched party affiliation to Democrat, citing differences with Republican leadership and alignment with issues affecting his rural district. His vote helped pass a transportation funding package backed by Governor Tina Kotek, making him the only Republican to vote in favor. The switch expanded the Democratic supermajority in the House to 37–23.

Javadi supported legislation including:

Senate Bill 1098, which clarified school library access policies
House Resolution 3, honoring the history of Black drag performers
A renewal of Oregon’s provider tax to preserve Medicaid funding

These votes drew both support and criticism, including a recall petition filed in 2025 by a former supporter. To move forward, the petition required 5,417 valid signatures by September 24, 2025.

Personal life

Javadi lives in Tillamook, Oregon, with his wife, Mollie, and their blended family of nine children. He holds a private pilot’s license with an instrument rating and enjoys painting, golf, and playing the piano. He identifies as Jewish.

Javadicb, could you please say, in your own words rather than that of an LLM, what you would like to see changed? 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) 07:57, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
