U.S. Senate

Democrat Ron Wyden is favored to win a fifth term in November.

Governor

Democratic Gov. Kate Brown is term-limited. Both parties have massive primary fields: 19 Republicans and 15 Democrats are vying for the nomination. The Democratic race appears to be between former State House Speaker Tina Kotek and State Treasurer Tobias Read. The GOP contest seems more wide open.

Attorney General

Secretary of State

U.S. House

These primaries will be conducted using redistricted congressional boundaries. The state gained a district after the 2020 Census.

The table below highlights four notable primaries, followed by results for each of them. Below that are party-specific tables with results for each of the state's 6 congressional districts.

District Party Comments
4 D Eight Democrats are competing to succeed Rep. Peter DeFazio, who is retiring after 18 terms. DeFazio's 2020 reelection, by a 6% margin, was the closest race of his career. Fortunately for the eight Democrats vying to succeed him, redistricting strengthened the party's likelihood of holding the seat.
5 BOTH Seven-term incumbent Democrat Kurt Schrader faces a strong challenge from the left in Jamie McLeod-Skinner, an attorney. The winner from a field of five Republicans will seek to flip the state's most competitive district.
6 BOTH Nine Democrats and seven Republicans are seeking the nomination for this newly-created seat.
