HD-26: Adamson unleashes new ad against Wingard detailing abuse charges

House District 26 candidate Jessica Adamson released a new advertisement Thursday detailing accusations of child abuse against State Rep. Matt Wingard (R-Wilsonville).

The ad highlights the abuse charges Wingard faced in 2002 for hitting his son over the head with a screw driver. The incident has been revisited in the news this week after House Democrats’ FuturePAC sent out a mailing detailing the case on Monday. This ad goes beyond the mailing to take a look at other abuse allegations that were uncovered in court documents relating to a custody battle Wingard had with the son’s mother. On Tuesday, The Oregonian got a hold of documents that detailed other incidents of alleged abuse.

Wingard had already come forward about the screwdriver incident. He defended himself on the other charges in the story published in The Oregonian, calling the charges untrue.

Calls to Matt Wingard were not immediately returned.
