An Oregon Republican on Sunday achieved what she called a “historic victory” by flipping a congressional seat held by a Democrat.
The contest for the 5th Congressional District had been too close to call until Sunday, when The Associated Press called the victory for Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer over Democrat Jamie McLeod-Skinner, according to KATU-TV. in Portland.
McLeod-Skinner had defeated incumbent Democrat Kurt Schrader in a primary.
Associated Press totals published in The New York Times gave Chavez-DeRemer 51.1 percent of the vote against 48.9 percent for McLeod-Skinner.
According to Fox News results as of Monday morning, the victory gives Republicans 212 seats in the House but control of the chamber remains up in the air. A party needs 218 seats for a majority. Democrats have 204 seats with 19 remaining to be called.
Chavez-DeRemer, who was the former mayor of Happy Valley, said her win was a victory for Oregon families.
“This is a historic victory for Oregon, but the work starts now. I vow to work for all Oregonians toward a better future for our children,” she said in a statement.
“From the suburbs of Clackamas, down to rural Linn and Marion counties, and over to the Cascades to Central Oregon, one thing was clear to me: Oregonians wanted common-sense solutions to their everyday problems. Families needed a Congresswoman to tackle inflation, keep us safe, and focus on what’s best for Oregon families.”

Sounds like Trump in 2016. The Left expected to win as always, so didn’t crank up the fraud and propaganda machine to defeat the dark-horse candidate.
It is an historical victory when a Republican emerges victorious after several days of counting.
How many of us actually believe the democrats will let republicans reach 218 seats? Not me... too much power to lose if they lose control of the house... even if only by the slimmest of a margin.
The Democrat fraud machine can’t be everywhere at once.
Too many crimes to be exposed, as well.
Mainly, the camrade-crats' fraud machine setting was incorrect.
The propaganda machine was undoubtedly on maximum setting as always.
Yes!
You’re right. I’m looking at the extreme far-left vote counters giving us 217 seats so Biden and his Stalinists can go on TV and cry crocodile tears for the “poor Republicans” while they party their asses off into the night for their special RAT version of Democrazy surviving the red wave that never happened..
Do we really need two hyphenated name candidates running against each other? One is bad enough.
You can bet your booties they are cranking up their fraud machine to make certain that will never again happen in this District - and any other that have slipped past their sedition.
