Rep. Janelle Bynum narrowly flipped Oregon's 5th district in 2024. She's a Democrat (and the first Black rep ever from Oregon). In such a swing district, she's not going to be AOC -- but she is likely to listen to her constituents. If her mail leans left, so will she.

Let her constituents write to her weekly, thanking her when she's governed well, expressing our disagreement when she hasn't, and urging her to vote the right way on future bills.

Who's with me?

2/2

The flip side of the +/- 1 seat House dynamic is that I live in a district (#OR5) where Dem voters knocking off an incumbent (Schrader) in the primary for a more progressive alternative may well cost us the House.

(For the record: I did not live in the district for the primary).

Ugh, Oregon Live calls #OR5 for Lori
Chavez-DeRemer. She’s already petitioned to allow WFH from her Arizona compound.
