A new political action committee, Health Equity Now, has recently injected a significant amount of money into a crucial Oregon swing district just ahead of the Democratic primary. The primary, scheduled for Tuesday, features candidates Janelle Bynum and Jamie McLeod-Skinner, who are competing for the chance to challenge Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, the Republican incumbent.
Chavez-DeRemer narrowly won the 2022 election over McLeod-Skinner by a slim margin of about 7,300 votes and 2 percentage points, making this upcoming primary a highly anticipated and competitive race. The district, one of 16 won by President Joe Biden but currently represented by a Republican in the House, is expected to draw significant attention and resources in the fall as both major political parties vie for control of the House.
