Bynum Maintains Narrow Lead in Oregon Race

News summary

In Oregon's 5th Congressional District race, Democratic state lawmaker Janelle Bynum holds a narrow lead over incumbent Republican Congresswoman Lori Chavez-DeRemer in initial returns, with 47% to 45% of the vote counted so far. This race is considered pivotal as it could influence the balance of power in the U.S. House of Representatives. Bynum, who has previously defeated Chavez-DeRemer in state legislative contests, is running on a platform focused on voting rights, abortion rights, and lowering costs for families, while Chavez-DeRemer emphasizes tax relief and public safety. The district's boundaries were significantly redrawn in 2020, which enabled Chavez-DeRemer to flip it to Republican control in 2022, marking a historic win. Both candidates have been actively campaigning, with Bynum canvassing in Bend with Senator Jeff Merkley and Chavez-DeRemer engaging local union carpenters in Clackamas County. The election remains highly competitive and results are yet to be finalized.
