Maxine Dexter Secures Democratic Nomination for Oregon's 3rd District

Heavy outside spending and endorsements from pro-Israel donors played a crucial role in Dexter's primary victory.

  • Dexter won with 53% of the vote, outpacing Susheela Jayapal and Eddy Morales.
  • Super PACs and pro-Israel groups spent over $5 million supporting Dexter and attacking Jayapal.
  • Dexter's campaign received significant last-minute contributions from out-of-state donors.
