In Oregon’s Democratic congressional primaries, State Rep. Maxine Dexter and State Rep. Janelle Bynum secured significant victories.

Bernie Sanders. Bynum, endorsed by DMFI, crushed progressive candidate D McLeod-Skinner. Both victories highlight the influence of endorsements and financial backing in these contested races. Dexter will represent Oregon’s 3rd district, while Bynum advances to face Lori Chavez-Deremer in a key House race. Polls closed at 11 p.m. ET.
