We, the undersigned, call on Nathan Boddie to immediately withdraw from his position as the Democratic candidate for Oregon House District 54.
Whereas, credible allegations regarding Mr. Boddie’s past behavior, including but not limited to sexual assault, sexism, and homophobia, now is the time for Mr. Boddie to withdraw from the race for House District 54.
Mr. Boddie’s past conduct towards community leader Moey Newbold and others has been predatory, degrading, inappropriate and potentially illegal. Mr. Boddie’s reaction to such allegations was to attack the victim with libelous unfounded statements to the media. Such behavior indicates that Mr. Boddie is unfit to serve as a representative for House District 54.
As our nation continues to move forward in breaking the silence on instances of sexual misconduct, we must all commit to creating a better society, starting with our own community here in Central Oregon. The people of House District 54 deserve an ethical, morally responsible and respectful representative in the Oregon House of Representatives.
We, the undersigned, hereby call for Mr. Boddie’s immediate withdrawal as Democratic candidate for Oregon State House of Representatives.
Sincerely,
Kevin Doner

By not stepping down, Dr. Boddie perpetuates the pain that Moey has endured as a sextual assault victim. I am outraged at the false allegations he made, trying to make her the victim again. Sextual assault is never ok! It is time to step aside.
No candidate is bigger than the office. It is time to step down and get your house in order and give local Dems the chance at electing a candidate we can be sure will represent HD 54 with dignity and integrity.
Dr. Boddie, please resign now. I was confused about continuing my support for you until Moey spoke out. Give the Democrats a chance to choose a candidate of integrity to run for District 54.
Dr Boddie's behavior & denial is unbecoming of a political candidate running for OR House District 54. His public accusations of Moey Newbold have been absolutely scurrilous. Now is the time to step down, Dr Boddie.
1315 NW Columbia St. Bend, OR An unwillingness to step down is not only tone-deaf but also hands this purple seat to the Republicans. Even if Nathan believes he’s totally innocent of any wrongdoing (he’s obviously not) my first statement holds.
Dr. Boddie was my Doctor. I do not agree with him being any part of Bend affairs. His personal character in my experiences, has shown him to be lacking. I am terminal, & he has shown me such lack of respect. He has been a bully to me on several occasions. I love Bend, I'm proud of this beautiful city. He has no right to have any input in this beautiful city of ours!
Please drop out of this race NOW and give someone else who can actually win an opportunity to run for this seat. Do the right thing for Democrats.

In addition to the merits of the allegations, the inappropriateness of your retribution and assertions about others disqualifies you from being entrusted with the public's business. We, the public, deserve leaders who live to a high standard and who accept responsibility.
