Nearman was elected to the Oregon House of Representatives in 2014 after ousting incumbent Representative Jim Thompson in the Republican primary election. The Oregonian reported that Nearman was buoyed by conservative opposition to Thompson's more progressive stances on social issues like same-sex marriage and abortion rights.[1]
Nearman is one of two petitioners filing ballot measure IP 5, which would require all Oregonians to re-register in order to vote, and to show a state official a birth certificate, passport, or other documentation in order to register.[2]
