Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), who is retiring after nearly 30 years in office. <\/p>\n<p>Susheela Jayapal lost the primary to Democratic challenger Maxine Dexter, who won the race with 53.2% of the vote with more than a third of the vote counted. The <em>Associated Press <\/em>called the race at 8:54 p.m. EST.<\/p>\n<p>Susheela Jayapal ran on a progressive platform, much like her younger sister who heads the House Progressive Caucus. <\/p>\n<p>The race between Susheela Jayapal and Dexter attracted widespread attention, with at least one super PAC pouring more than $1 million into the race to attack Susheela Jayapal\u2019s record. Meanwhile, another group, the 314 Action Fund, spent at least $1.7 million to boost Dexter.<\/p>\n<p>That money prompted Susheela Jayapal and Eddy Morales, who also ran for the seat, to accuse the group of interfering with the Democratic primary and funding its ad campaigns with \u201cMAGA money.\u201d The group has not yet disclosed its donors from April, which is when it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/oregons-primary-elections-three-things-to-watch-on-may-21\/\" title=\"Key Points to Follow in Oregon's May 21 Primary Elections\">began spending money<\/a> on the Oregon primary.<\/p>\n<p>After winning the primary, Dexter is now highly favored to win the seat in November.
