Blumenauer 82%
Albert Lee 15%

My daughter worked on Blumenauer's campaign.
I don't know why Our Revolution was against him since he is very progressive.
The nasty folks are still slamming Earl on Facebook.

Wonder if that contributes to why they lost? ".. slamming Earl on FB"?

"I was delighted with a very strong vote of confidence," Rep. Blumenauer told the Tribune. "We stopped campaigning several months ago and just focused on trying to help connect people with resouces (for COVID-19)... It was gratifying to see the hard work we've done pay off."
