✉️ SBD Office Ban

The following letter was sent by Representative Shelly Boshart Davis at 17:40 on February 7, 2025. CCed were Senator Sara Gelser Blouin, Legislative Administrator Brett Haines, Security Manager Brad Brainard, Oregon State Police Public Information Officer Kyle Kennedy, and Dignitary Protection Lieutenant Casi Hegney.

Dear Mr. Issac, 

I am writing to follow up on your recent interactions in my office. I want to clarify the roll of legislative staff. They are not elected officials but serve our constituents in a professional capacity, and as such, are not subject to the same public scrutiny as I am. I understand your passion about veterans’ issues and am grateful for your service and advocacy. However, the situation in my office on January 27, 2025, was not acceptable. 

While I fully support your cause, I cannot help you introduce [military civil rights in Oregon] over the next two sessions, and if you wish, you can appeal to another member of the Legislature to help you. 

Effective immediately, and until February 2026, you are no longer permitted to visit my office, or enter my staff’s workspace, in person. You are free to communicate with my office through alternative channels, such as electronic email or the United States Postal Service.
