    Yeah, the Libertarian candidates aren’t a factor, at all.

    OR-2 is ruby red, there will never be a scenario where a 3rd party moves the needle.

    2022
    Republican - Cliff Bentz - 208,369 - 67.5%
    Democratic - Joseph Yetter - 99,882 - 32.4% Write-in - 425 - 0.1%

    2020
    Republican - Cliff Bentz - 273,835 - 59.9%
    Democratic - Alex Spenser - 168,881 - 36.9%
    Libertarian - Robert Werch - 14,094 - 3.1% Write-in - 623 - 0.1%

    OR-5 is a little different. Boundaries got re-drawn to make room for OR-6, and that made it more conservative. Kurt Schrader (D) was disliked, got primaried and bounced out, but the candidate who replaced him wasn’t well liked either.

    2022
    Republican - Lori Chavez-DeRemer - 178,813 - 50.91%
    Democratic - Jamie McLeod-Skinner - 171,514 - 48.83%
    Write-in - 906 - 0.26%

    2020
    Democratic - Kurt Schrader - 234,863 - 51.9% Republican - Amy Ryan Courser - 204,372 - 45.1% Libertarian - Matthew Rix - 12,640 - 2.8% Write-in - 771 - 0.2%
