WASHINGTON (AP) — Oregon has multiple hotly contested primaries on Tuesday, as well as some that will set the stage for high-profile races in November. Oregon’s 5th Congressional District is home to one of the top Democratic primaries in the country. It pits Jamie McLeod-Skinner against Janelle Bynum. McLeod-Skinner defeated longtime Democratic Rep. Kurt Schrader in the 2022 primary by running as a progressive. However, she lost the seat to Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer in the general election. Some top Democrats believe that Bynum, who represents Portland’s southeast suburbs in the state House, is more likely to win in a general election. Democratic Gov. Tina Kotek and three Democratic members of Oregon’s U.S. House delegation have endorsed Bynum. The district will be key to Republicans’ efforts to defend their narrow majority in the U.S. House. Chavez-DeRemer is unopposed in the Republican primary. |
