Monica Wehby ( ; born May 7, 1962) is an American physician and politician from the state of Oregon. She was the Republican nominee for the United States Senate from Oregon in the 2014 election against Democratic incumbent Jeff Merkley. Her candidacy attracted national attention after she released a widely-praised television advertisement that featured a former patient explaining how Wehby had saved her unborn daughter's life. However, the subsequent scrutiny uncovered allegations of stalking and harassment made against Wehby by former partners and found that significant parts of the policy platforms on her website had been plagiarised. Wehby struggled following these and other issues and ultimately lost the election to Merkley by a large margin, 55.8% to 37.1%. Wehby, who based her campaign on repealing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, called Democratic Governor John Kitzhaber after the election and asked to be named Director of the Oregon Health Authority, which administers the Affordable Care Act in Oregon. ==Early life and education== Wehby was born in Nashville, Tennessee.
