1. Not good.

[Zambero]

2. Sort of a reverse situation to WA-03

In WA-03, a GOP incumbent who voted to impeach Trump was primaried out by a far-right candidate who lost.
In OR-05, a Dem incumbent was primaried out by a more progressive candidate who lost.

3. Dang!

4. This is why you don't primary incumbent Dems.

[LisaL]

5. Yep.

We could have used that seat.

6. She is bad news. Not as MAGA as most, but still bad.

She pushes the "ballot harvesting" meme because WHY would someone in a nursing home or who is disabled need someone to drop off their ballot for them?

Caring that everyone who wants to vote GETS to vote IS legal in many states.

Sounds like Chavez-DeRemer lives in State of Denial more than she's present in Oregon.

7. A case where it might have been better to keep the incumbent conservative Democrat

8. This district -- mine -- was redrawn to make it more 50/50

I suppose because Kurt Schrader was supposed to keep it.

I was in DeFazio's 4th district before this.

9. Repubs dark money put almost 8 million into this seat, about $1500 a winning vote

Happy Valley Barbie won, barely and no she did not campaign near my house, she only went to Maga type events and only canvassed where she knew she would win.

She will not hold this seat long cause she is all about herself and how great she is.

Kurt was great when he started at the end not so much.

10. Why do we shoot ourselves in the foot? This was a seat we could've won easily

with Shrader. This stuff just infuriates me.

11. Gerrymandering republicans

[moose65]

12. Uh - what?

This is in Oregon. Republicans didn’t do this one!
