Maxine Dexter won the Democratic Primary in Oregon's 3rd Congressional District on Tuesday, defeating a crowded field of progressives that included the sister of Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal.
Dexter won the primary to replace outgoing Democratic Rep. Earl Blumenauer, who had served in Congress since 1996, in a district covering much of Portland, Oregon, which is reliably blue and unlikely to be won by a Republican in November.
Susheela Jayapal, a former county commissioner, was endorsed by U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and several members of the far-left "Squad" House Democrats, including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.
Oregon's 3rd Congressional District includes most of Multnomah County, all of Hood County and part of Clackamas County.
All three of the leading candidates – Jayapal, Dexter and Morales – were all very similar on the issues, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported, in a district where Democrats outnumber Republicans 3-to-1.
Blumenauer, who announced his retirement last year after serving in Congress since 1996, told Fox News Digital in December that this Congress began with obvious fractures within the majority party, and he did not see how those could be resolved.

Ugly inside and out.
Yep.
Susheela Jayapal, a former county commissioner, stepped down to run for Congress, was endorsed by
<><>her far left media hog sister
<><>socialist U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont
<><>several members of the far-left “Squad” House Democrats,
<><>motormouth Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York

Butt ugly inside and out. Both of them.
Can we just deport these two miscreants already?!
All for it.
That about says it all about these two.
The wages of her sister’s Jew-hating.
Speculation has swirled about the source of the outside interest. One news outlet, The Intercept, reported earlier this month that the powerful pro-Israel lobbying group the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, was behind the money. That group’s role in the race appeared partially confirmed earlier this month, when Dexter started reaping a huge amount of direct contributions from national donors who have supported AIPAC or its favored candidates in other places.
The super PAC backing Dexter, 314 Action Fund, disclosed Monday that some of its funding had come from two wealthy donors who have given to numerous causes over the years, but also have signaled support for Israel: former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg and investor Robert Granieri.]
yes Mam...
It’s like argueing Trotsky vs Lenin. Evil beeyotches, the lot of them.
Gee, I can’t tell which Jayapal is the uglier?
It’s a tough call.
