Submitted Biography "As a third-generation union member, I know Oregonians need someone in their corner who knows what it’s like to work hard to make ends meet. I led the fight to expand apprenticeships programs to create more good-paying jobs in Oregon. In Congress, I am working to lower the cost of groceries, create more workforce housing and protect Social Security and Medicare. I’m proud of the record I’ve built standing up for working people, and with your support, I’ll keep fighting for you in Congress."


Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.


Every Oregonian deserves access to a good-paying job. In Oregon, I expanded apprenticeship and job training programs, increased the minimum wage, and secured paid sick leave. I will always fight for working people.


Extreme politicians want to pass a national abortion ban that would strip women of the right to control their own bodies. I will always fight to keep healthcare decisions between a patient and their medical provider and stand up to any attempt to ban abortion, birth control, or IVF.


In Congress, I will continue fighting to lower costs for working families by taking on oil companies to lower gas prices, standing up to big pharma to bring down drug costs, and going after anyone who tries to price gouge Oregonians.

Party: Republican Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Submitted Biography "I am an outsider running for Congress because my kids and yours need a fighter in Washington who will deliver commonsense policies with real results. I served our nation for 30 years in the United States Air Force, the Air Force Reserve, and the Oregon Air National Guard, retiring with the rank of Colonel. For 20 of those years, I served as a lawyer with the Judge Advocate General’s Corps in various locations and deployments around the world, developing policy, handling investigations, managing litigation, and advising senior commanders on military justice and ethics. I made Oregon my home in 1995 when I left active duty to attend law school at Willamette University in Salem. I am a single mother who raised my twin boys for the past 22 years in the heart of the Fourth Congressional District in Eugene, Oregon. Concurrent with my military service, I practiced law for a full spectrum of business and family matters including policy development, Veterans’ affairs, litigation, and alternative dispute resolution. I volunteered for ten years as a Board Member and Mediator with the Center for Dialogue & Dispute Resolution in Eugene, Oregon. Following my retirement from the military in 2019, I joined the Kevin Mannix Law Firm and pursued legal causes fighting for the rights of crime victims and business owners. In 2022, I joined the non-profit Common Sense for Oregon, where I worked to improve public policies to address rampant homelessness, addiction, and crime."


Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.


National security, safe communities, and safe workplaces are fundamental, non-negotiable functions of government. We are a nation of laws, and I support the rule of law, but laws are only effective when enforced. No communities are safe without adequate law enforcement. It is my goal to ensure that law enforcement has the necessary authority and resources to do their jobs effectively, from Customs and Border Patrol to our local sheriffs, police, and district attorneys. Public officials who refuse to enforce our laws and hold criminals accountable must be held accountable themselves. I will not support federal funding for soft-on-crime cities or cities that defund the police and leave Americans vulnerable.


My goal in Congress is to legislate such that the American Dream is restored and achievable for all working Americans. I want that for my children, my grandchildren, and yours. Growing and strengthening the middle class is a top priority for me. The American middle class is struggling and shrinking. Inflation is crushing family budgets and the budgets of our elderly on fixed incomes. Most of us are able to afford less and less each year. This is not the dream so many of us strive to build for ourselves and our families! I will work hard to end the radical tax & spend policies coming out of Washington, D.C. that are leading to wasteful government spending, increasing our national debt, fueling inflation and killing the American Dream.


Our elected representatives have a legal and moral obligation to make all of their business of government transparent and accountable to the people they serve. I am committed to sharing all of my votes and my reasons behind them for all the public to see. I will ask the tough questions in relentless pursuit of the truthful, factual answers, followed by prompt and deliberate action. I will apply my experienced investigative eye, and my knowledge of the law, to expose wasteful spending. Much like my work as a military and private sector lawyer, I will fight to eliminate discrimination, corruption, cronyism, expose conflicts of interest, and bring an end to the careers of corrupt career politicians, starting with our Congresswoman Val Hoyle.

To ensure safe neighborhoods in Congressional District 4, we must secure our nation’s border and stop the relentless flow of fentanyl, P2P meth, and other deadly drugs into Oregon. By ending cartel control and stopping criminals from illegally entering our communities, we will stop the delivery and distribution of deadly drugs, human trafficking, and other abhorrent activity fueling addiction, homelessness, and the crime wave overwhelming our communities. My border security plan is an ‘all of the above’ approach including physical barriers, advanced technologies, sensors, cybersecurity, drones, and increased numbers of border patrol agents authorized to actually secure the border, not merely process illegal migrants into our country.

Our district covers over 250 miles of coast and is home to countless scenic rivers and forests. I am passionate about protecting our communities from wildfire, ensuring all Oregonians have access to a good-paying job, and preserving our natural environment for future generations.

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

  • Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
  • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
  • Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[4]
  • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[5][6][7]

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Oregon in 2024. Information below was calculated on April 13, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Thirty candidates ran for Oregon’s six U.S. House districts, including 17 Democrats and 13 Republicans. That’s 5.0 candidates per district, less than the 7.5 candidates per district in 2022, the 8.0 candidates per district in 2020, and the 6.4 candidates in 2018.

The 30 candidates who ran in Oregon in 2024 were the fewest number of candidates since 2016, when 19 candidates ran.

The 3rd Congressional District was the only open district, meaning no incumbents filed to run. There were two seats open in 2022 and one seat in 2020.

Incumbent Earl Blumenauer (D-3rd) did not running for re-election because he retired from public office.

Ten candidates—seven Democrats and three Republicans—ran for the open 3rd Congressional District, the most candidates who ran for a seat in Oregon in 2024.

Nine primaries—five Democratic and four Republican—were contested in 2024. Ten primaries were contested in 2022 and 2020, respectively.

Three incumbents—two Democrats and one Republican—faced primary challengers in 2024, the fewest since 2014 when two incumbents faced primary challengers.

Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all six districts, meaning no seats were guaranteed to either party.
