Maxine Dexter (D) won the Democratic primary for Oregon's 3rd Congressional District on May 21, 2024. Dexter received 52.8% of the vote. Susheela Jayapal (D) finished in second with 25.0%. Eddy Morales (D), Michael Jonas (D), Nolan Bylenga (D), Rachel Rand (D), and Ricky Barajas (D) also ran in the primary.

Dexter, Jayapal, and Morales led in media attention, endorsements, and fundraising. This was the first open race in the district since 1996. Incumbent Earl Blumenauer retired from public office.

Dexter was a member of the Oregon House of Representatives and a pulmonary and critical care physician. Dexter said her legislative experience would help her successfully fight for the district in Congress: "I have proven myself to be a strong lawmaker who listens, leads and gets hard things done, all the while keeping my constituents at the center of my decisions – the same way I do when caring for my patients."[1] Oregon House Speaker Julie Fahey (D) and Senate President Rob Wagner (D) endorsed Dexter.[2]

Jayapal was a former Multnomah County Commissioner and an attorney. She is also the older sister of Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.).[3] Jayapal said that in Congress, she would continue the work she had done at the county level, such as “addressing the homelessness crisis, public safety, [and] wages for front line workers.” Jayapal said she also wanted to address broader issues such as “standing up for democracy.”[4] U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and U.S. Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) endorsed Jayapal.[5][6]

Morales was the Council President for the City of Gresham and a community organizer.[7] Morales said he ran to “build on Congressman Earl Blumenauer’s legacy and bring fresh progressive energy and vision to this community that I love.”[8] Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams (D) and the Human Rights Campaign endorsed Morales.[9][10]

As of May 21, 2024, The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter and Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales rated the general election Solid Democratic. Larry J. Sabato's Crystal Ball rated the general election Safe Democratic.

Submitted Biography "My son refers to me as “annoyingly optimistic”. I am indeed optimistic and it’s a trait that comes from having been able to persistently overcome significant challenges and achieve my goals throughout life. I’ve learned that if you know what you want to accomplish and work hard with focus and determination, you can often achieve your goals, no matter what the odds. My optimism also comes from having had the support of my community. Mr. Rogers was a TV show I watched a lot as a young child and he advised viewers to look for “the helpers” when we were afraid and struggling. I was lucky during tough times to have these helpers visible and ready to help all around me. Growing up in a home where my mother's severe mental health issues created chaos and enormous emotional strain, I found solace and support in the helpers around me—neighbors, librarians, teachers, coaches and the friend who helped me secure a union job. This job not only offered me independence but empowered me to become the first in my family to graduate from college and medical school. These people were my helpers, guiding me out of the darkness at home. I’m running for Congress to bring my unique blend of personal experience and professional expertise to Congress. where I will continue to do what I do best - listen, lead, and get things done for the people of Oregon."

Raised in a working-class family, I was the first in my family to graduate college and become a respected physician caring for Oregon's 3rd Congressional District as a working mom. With a proven track record of hard work, compassionate care and courageous policymaking, I'm ready to make a broader impact in Congress on day one.


As a physician and state representative, I know how to listen, find the root cause, and solve problems and that's what I'll continue doing in Washington: I will listen, lead, and work to get things done for the people of Oregon.


I’ve led the fight to pass large-scale, progressive legislation with bipartisan support: from securing historic housing investments, to improving public safety, expanding abortion rights, protecting the environment, increasing addiction treatment, and closing firearm law loopholes.

Submitted Biography "I first learned about organizing by watching my mom. Raised by a hardworking and community-minded immigrant woman in Oregon, I saw her share meals or offer basic necessities to neighbors in need. It was through moments like these I learned how her choices were strengthening the entire community. I started my organizing career as a student helping coordinate a boycott in support of farm workers earning unfair wages. After seeing the impact of solidarity, it quickly became my life’s work. For twenty years I worked on countless progressive causes — from restoring voting rights in Florida, to supporting immigrants under attack in Arizona, to joining Stacey Abrams to flip Georgia blue. I brought these lessons home, where I founded East County Rising and joined the board of Planned Parenthood. I was elected as City Councilor in Gresham and served as Council President for two consecutive terms, where I helped create multi-generational affordable housing, increased public safety solutions, and advocated for underrepresented constituents. Through this work, I’ve learned what it takes to bring people together to reach a common goal."


Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.


Affordable Housing: Growing up my family was housing insecure, and my mother would exchange childcare for a place for us to live. Most affordable housing being built does not meet families’ needs. In Gresham, I built multigenerational housing with 4 bedrooms so aunties, uncles, and grandparents can live with each other. We've also created workforce housing for people with disabilities, designed by people with disabilities, that is run on solar so their energy is cheaper and greener. We also launched affordable home ownership programs.


Public Safety: I’ve lost two brothers to gun violence. That’s why I worked to create a first-of-its-kind Youth Violence Prevention Program partnering with community groups to address the root causes of crime in our communities. And on Gresham City Council, I worked to bring funding for police training and retention, while supporting strict accountability and transparency for officers to improve community relations. In Congress, I will fight for the resources we need to keep our communities safe.


Defend and expand our rights: LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive rights, immigrant rights, worker rights, voting rights, and countless others are under attack. In Congress, I’ll continue organizing and fighting to protect and expand our rights such as access to birth control, abortions, and reproductive healthcare, and to ensure families like mine are protected and everyone in America can live their lives with respect and dignity.

Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.


Climate Change - My platform has evolved over the last decade to encouraging Generation Z to have significantly less children to fight climate change and the inevitable end of oil.


Oil is a fuel and a substance that we pave our roads and shingle our houses with. It will run out and our population is predicted to be over 10 billion by the end of the century. My calculations suggest that if people around the world have 1/4 of the children of the normal replacement rate, we would get to 2 billion people worldwide by 2099.


Many scientists are suggesting that our farming practices are depleting top soil at a rate that is unsustainable, yet the number of children we are having and our perceived goals for a "sustainable lithium economy" are persistent in our society. I challenge that these numbers to not add up. Reducing population seems to be the only answer. The brief carbon savings realized during 2020 would not be enough to overcome our agricultural problems.

We have to reform the Criminal Justice System, fix our broken Education System, emphasize supporting our Veterans, and much more.

All Americans, not just Oregonians are struggling to pay for health care, housing, education, and food. The cost of living is rising, and current wages are no longer sufficient for folks to sustain. We have a mental health crisis, a drug epidemic, and a problematic prison system.

How is it that in the Land of the Free, we've incarcerated more people than any nation in the history of the world?

Let's be true to what this country says on paper and solve the crises.
It is clear that across the country, every community is being impacted by the housing and homelessness crisis, pricing too many working families from their community. In Oregon, in particular, this is being compounded by the humanitarian crisis we are experiencing on our streets and the confluence of addiction and mental health. In our State Legislature, I was a driving force behind the most historic investments in housing our state has ever seen. Because we listened to Oregonians and leaders across all levels of government and worked with our colleagues to find common ground, our state now has the tools to: build more housing, with workers and materials from here in Oregon, and invest in immediate emergency shelters.
Houselessness & Livability

Women's Health & Reproductive Rights Climate Action & Environmental. Stewardship Equal Rights & Protections for Women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+

Immigration Reform
I have dedicated the last 25 years of my life organizing on key issues to make concrete improvements in working families’ lives. I’ve worked in Oregon, and across the country, on the Affordable care Act, comprehensive immigration reform, electing progressives to office, and supporting organizers in their local fights. The only way to cut through the chaos and dysfunction in Washington, DC is through engaging and organizing communities directly impacted by the policies we hope to change and building broad coalitions to move policy.
I feel that the severity of climate change and related issues dwarfs any other problems we have. If Generation Z can show us that they are reducing population and I get elected, I promise to propose bills that will support them and what I'm calling the "new economic system" that would inevitably happen because of the population decline. Without the need for new housing, there are going to be many unemployed people and the housing market will be disrupted. Human activity causes climate change. We would then need to restructure things to live more locally. I'm suggesting a massive extension of what is commonly known as the food stamp program which I see as the gateway into this new economy.
I look up to my father. He's worked his entire life as a public defender, constantly fighting for those that the state wants to incarcerate.

He's the guy that defends the hopeless and defenseless.

He's also the man that stands up for the little guy.
Sting, Geddy Lee, Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten. Perhaps I should have put more working into playing the bass instead of the trombone LOL!
There are many types of elected officials. I am a high level idea person. Some people have a law background. Some people are negotiators. I am a jack of all trades type of person. My music, career experiences and lifestyle represent many different cultures from around the world. Being a representative is part of politics.
My qualities of resilience, determination and strong work ethic paired with my compassion and commitment to my community have helped make me an effective elected official. As a physician, I have cared for the people of this district as a pulmonary and critical care doctor for over 15 years. I know how to listen, find the root cause, and solve problems and that's what I'll continue doing in Washington: I will listen, lead, and work to get things done for the people of Oregon. As a legislator, I’ve centered the needs of my constituents and focused on delivering people-focused community services and casework while leading on the policies our district is calling for, like capping the cost of insulin and investing over $300 million to expand shelter capacity and build new housing.
Tenacity.
I believe the primary job of a US Representative is to ensure that our society remains civil.
I hope to help make America a more perfect union.
As a young boy, I never saw an elected official that looked like me or even dreamed of representing my community. Over the past 25 years, I have come to understand the importance of representation. As a second generation immigrant and a Queer Latino, I have taken space at the table, brought others to the table, and advocated for others.

One of my proudest moments was when I was elected to represent my community in Gresham. I have lived everyday working hard to be deserving of my community and their support. I know how to mobilize a community and present their concerns to policy makers, and my career has been staked on building coalitions. In Congress, I will bring the voices of those most impacted by an issue to advocate for solutions and tackle it head on.

I am running to represent Oregon so that young boy from all those years ago can finally be represented. In two years, as the first LGBTQ+ and person of color to serve in Congress from Oregon, I hope that my impact is measured by tangible improvements to Oregonian’s lives, especially when it comes to housing, public safety, immigration, and the expansion of our rights.
Inspiring Generation Z to have less children. I see this as keeping a civil society in the drawdown years.
My very first job was working in a restaurant at the age of 15. I was lucky to get a job in an Albertson’s grocery store about a year later, which brought me into the labor community through UFCW. I earned a fair wage in good working conditions at a time when I needed it most and gave me the stability I needed to be able to pursue my dream of being a doctor.
My first jobs were babysitting and passing out flyers. My first job at a business (15 with a work permit was working at Mimi's Cafe as a restaurant host. I think I was there for a year or so. I ended up working in restaurants in a variety of roles (host, busser, dishwasher, and server) off and on for about 10 years.
Janitor. 2.5 years.
John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath” is my favorite book of all time. The historical perspective, its focus on resilience in the face of enormous challenges and the message that we must come together as a community to overcome the challenges of our times seems particularly resonant now.
The Way of Zen. I was reading this in the 1990's and doing a lot of meditation. The idea that words are abstractions of the truth is a key concept in my life. The idea of approaching things with a beginners mind.
Ellie from Contact. I like her tenacity and intellect.
At Last We Meet Again recorded by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones.
Social networking. I spend a lot of time developing political theories and my networking presence has been a struggle for me.
Transitioning away from the idea of having two long range electric cars in every driveway. I feel this is repeating our old problems of producing more machines that are slightly more energy efficient.
I am in favor of how our government is currently organized. I think that attempting to alter this system is a waste of precious time.
Representative Blumenauer provides an excellent model for how to run a community-focused, people-centered legislative office that engages with our community and still passes tangible, progressive policy. Senator Tom McCall and his bipartisan and collaborative and leadership style became the “Oregon Way.” I’ve worked diligently to follow his lead, roll up my sleeves, and get the work done.
Rep. Earl Blumenauer. I ran "against" him for this position twice. Earl has been a key player in the development of our bicycling and light rail systems in Portland Oregon. I'm proposing a huge expansion in our bicycling culture through the use of semi-electric two and three wheel devices.
I'm frustrated from hearing so many stories of work requirements to get benefits like SNAP. No one works too well without food. I'm suggesting a system where there are no requirements and the elimination of jobs that are policing these policies.
I have dedicated the last 25 years of my life organizing on key issues to make concrete improvements in working families’ lives. I’ve worked in Oregon, and across the country, on the Affordable care Act, comprehensive immigration reform, electing progressives to office, and supporting organizers in their local fights. The only way to cut through the chaos and dysfunction in Washington, DC is through engaging and organizing communities directly impacted by the policies we hope to change and building broad coalitions to move policy. I know how to build broad coalitions, mobilize a community and have them present their concerns to policy makers, and my career has been staked on building broad coalitions to achieve tangible policy wins. In Congress, I will bring the voices of those most impacted by an issue to advocate for solutions and tackle it head on. It’s what I did to help pass the ACA and establish DACA. It’s how we were able to build affordable housing and tackle gun violence here in Gresham. And it’s how I will work every day to deliver for Oregonians.
I like the line from Star Wars "loose wire joke".
Absolutely. Our community is struggling with many challenges that include opportunities for federal investment and impactful advocacy and our next member of Congress must be prepared to show up on day one, build relationships, and cut through the politics. In the legislature, I have been able to pass progressive legislation through my commitment to listening broadly and intentionally to as many sides of the issue as possible that then leads to being able to garner bipartisan support. From back-to-back historic housing packages in 2023 and 2024 to 2023’s comprehensive opioid harm reduction package. I have already proven an ability to listen, lead, and get things done and will have the experience and the ability to have an impact, even as a freshman.
Yes. I identify with being a moderate Democrat.
If Generation Z can prove that they are reducing population, I will put a host of new bills in the hopper to support this new economy I'm proposing. On day one, I'll introduce a bill to force employers to allow people to work from home if possible. I'll also introduce a bill to legalize marijuana on the federal level. I have a hunch that growing cannabis may be a key part of our agriculture in the future.
I'm not quite sure what this question is getting at, but I have hopes that my office in DC will be able to conduct research with leading businesses. I would hope that we could be united in fighting climate change instead of each other.

As the Chair of Oregon’s House Committee on Housing and Homelessness, I’m particularly hopeful to serve on the Financial Services committee, which oversees the housing sector, and build on the work I’ve done, securing historic investments in expanding shelter capacity and building new, affordable housing.

As a physician, I hope to utilize my experience in the exam room and passing healthcare reform in Oregon on the Energy and Commerce which oversees the health sector and large swaths of climate policy.

As a State Representative who secured over $40 million in spending to repair our crumbling infrastructure and protect our bridges, I’d like to serve on the Appropriations Committee to fight for the federal funding Oregon needs to replace the I5 bridge, expand healthcare access, and build the housing our district desperately needs.

I am a strong supporter of financial transparency. Problems are hard enough to find solutions for. We need as many transparent facts as we can get.

Race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

  • Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
  • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
  • Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[11]
  • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[12][13][14]

Satellite spending

See also: Satellite spending

Satellite spending describes political spending not controlled by candidates or their campaigns; that is, any political expenditures made by groups or individuals that are not directly affiliated with a candidate. This includes spending by political party committees, super PACs, trade associations, and 501(c)(4) nonprofit groups.[15][16]

If available, satellite spending reports by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and OpenSecrets.org are linked below. FEC links include totals from monthly, quarterly, and semi-annual reports. OpenSecrets.org compiles data from those reports as well as 24- and 48-hour reports from the FEC.[17]

Details about satellite spending of significant amounts and/or reported by media are included below those links. The amounts listed may not represent the total satellite spending in the election. To notify us of additional satellite spending, email us.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Oregon in 2024. Information below was calculated on April 13, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Thirty candidates ran for Oregon’s six U.S. House districts, including 17 Democrats and 13 Republicans. That’s 5.0 candidates per district, less than the 7.5 candidates per district in 2022, the 8.0 candidates per district in 2020, and the 6.4 candidates in 2018.

The 30 candidates who ran in Oregon in 2024 were the fewest number of candidates since 2016, when 19 candidates ran.

The 3rd Congressional District was the only open district, meaning no incumbents filed to run. There were two seats open in 2022 and one seat in 2020.

Incumbent Earl Blumenauer (D-3rd) did not running for re-election because he retired from public office.

Ten candidates—seven Democrats and three Republicans—ran for the open 3rd Congressional District, the most candidates who ran for a seat in Oregon in 2024.

Nine primaries—five Democratic and four Republican—were contested in 2024. Ten primaries were contested in 2022 and 2020, respectively.

Three incumbents—two Democrats and one Republican—faced primary challengers in 2024, the fewest since 2014 when two incumbents faced primary challengers.

Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all six districts, meaning no seats were guaranteed to either party.
