Janelle Bynum Becomes Oregon's First Black Member of Congress, Defeating GOP Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer in 5th District Election
Nov 14, 2024, 06:06 PM
Democrat Janelle Bynum has won the election for Oregon's 5th Congressional District, defeating incumbent Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer. This victory marks a significant shift in the political landscape, as Bynum becomes Oregon's first Black member of Congress. Bynum previously defeated Chavez-DeRemer in state House races in 2016 and 2018, and her latest win flips a seat that the GOP had taken in 2022. The election outcome also narrows the Republicans' majority in the House.
