Navarro is the latest Oregon Democrat revealed to have a criminal
record. Last week, Navarro himself defended knowingly hiring a
convicted pedophile as a field director for his campaign. In
October, the former Democratic mayor of Beaverton pleaded guilty in
federal court to possession of child pornography. Kotek has been
accused of ignoring sexual harassment complaints while serving as
state House speaker.

Navarro, who has called himself the "second-chance candidate,"
violated parole after his release by showing up at a family birthday
party, apparently stealing his wife's car afterward. Police found
Navarro's prison ID card inside the stolen car later, but no charges
were filed. His wife took out a restraining order on him after his
first conviction, which he also violated in attending the party.

Navarro has made no attempt to hide his criminal past, even noting
on his campaign website he has been jailed five or six times since
his release.
