Democrat Janelle Bynum flips Oregon’s most high-profile US House district
Janelle Bynum, an Oregon legislator from Happy Valley, declared victory Friday morning.
Responding to residents proved foundational in Gluesenkamp Perez victory as district picked Trump
Southwest Washington’s 3rd Congressional District Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez secured reelection in last week’s election, leaving Democrats to wonder how she beat the odds in a district that favored President-elect Trump.
Measure 118, Oregon’s proposed business tax hike, on course to fail
The measure would have divvied up more than $6 billion in new taxes among Oregon residents every year.
Editor’s note
OPB’s goal each election season is to bring you the news and information you need to make informed decisions when your ballot arrives. That includes results on the most high-profile elections in Oregon and Southwest Washington. But it doesn’t include every race. While OPB is headquartered in Portland, we have offices and journalists in Southwest Washington, Central Oregon and Eastern Oregon, so our more extensive election coverage tends to focus on those parts of the region. For complete election returns in Oregon, visit the Oregon Secretary of State’s election results page. For ranked choice voting contents, visit the Multnomah County elections website. If you’re a Washington voter, visit the Washington Secretary of State’s election results page.

Portland Region
City of Portland
The current election results for Portland Mayor and Portland City Council races on the Multnomah County website reflect a process of elimination by rounds, which is a feature of ranked choice voting. In this system, candidates with the fewest votes in each round are eliminated, and their votes are redistributed to voters' next choices.
It's important to understand that even though candidates may be leading or 'eliminated' in these results, those designations only reflect the ballots counted so far and may change as more are processed. 'Eliminated' simply means a candidate didn’t meet the required ballot threshold in one cycle of ballot counting, and they are not included in subsequent rounds of that cycle. However, eliminated candidates are included in new counts as additional ballots are processed, and votes that include them continue to influence the outcome. Learn more about how ranked choice voting works in Portland.
