OPB - Oregon 3rd Congressional District primary debate: Maxine Dexter, Susheela Jayapal and Eddy Morales
By Gemma DiCarlo (OPB) | April 8, 202
After serving nearly 30 years in Congress, Democratic U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer announced last fall that he wouldn’t run for reelection. That leaves an open field for Oregon’s 3rd Congressional District primary this May. We’ll hear from the three most prominent candidates vying for the Democratic nomination: Maxine Dexter is a pulmonologist who represents Northwest Portland in the Oregon House of Representatives; Susheela Jayapal formerly represented North and Northeast Portland on the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners; and Eddy Morales is a member of the Gresham City Council.
