Who is Cylvia Hayes? Oregon's first lady derailed by bad judgment, environmental zealotry, quest for validation
This summer, as Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber kneeled on a bank of the Rogue River to propose to Cylvia Hayes, he presented her with an engagement ring meant to recall past triumphs.
The governor designed the jewelry himself. It featured two diamonds and a dark blue stone representing the Earth, a reminder of the "Earth Star Award" Hayes received in from her friends and fans at the Central Oregon Environmental Center.
The award was, all things considered, a minor prize for a woman who would soon travel the world as a governor's spouse. But the acknowledgement – that she was making a difference, that she had made something of her life – meant enough to Hayes that her would-be fiancé wanted to make it part of their collective story.
Hayes' personal, political and professional lives were intertwined – as usual.
In her role as Oregon's first lady, Hayes has depicted her life story as a sort of fairy tale: Poor girl bootstraps her way to success, falls in love with a powerful man, together they save the world. But a closer look – as close as Hayes, who declined to answer questions for this story, will allow – suggests something more reminiscent of Greek tragedy. Friends, fellow environmentalists and political allies describe a woman with a desperate need for affirmation, a weather eye on the next opportunity and a giant blind spot when it comes to how others might perceive her.

The thing I didn’t see coming was the expectation of the role. The institution hasn’t really caught up to accepting a modern, professional, politically engaged person. I came in expecting not to take the title of First Lady, because [we aren’t married]. But it was impossible not to take it.
