The race for Oregon's new 5th Congressional District

Political insiders are predicting the race to represent Oregon's newly redrawn 5th Congressional district could become the nation's marquee Democratic House primary to watch. That's according to an article in Politico.Seven-term incumbent Kurt Schrader, a moderate, is being challenged from the left by former congressional candidate Jamie McLeod-Skinner from central Oregon. They're running in a newly formed district. The boundaries were reshaped by the Oregon Legislature last fall and now include most of Clackamas and Marion Counties, but not Salem.
